Choice Simplified
I've been looking at getting satellite radio, since most of the local stations have been bought out by Clear Channel. I hate Clear Channel's programming, or the lack thereof, and have pretty much stopped listening to the radio entirely.
But I'd had trouble deciding between XM & Sirius....both have programs I like. Now Sirius has made my choice much easier.
Martha Stewart, six weeks out of federal prison and still largely restricted to her home, signed another major deal yesterday, this time with Sirius Satellite Radio to broadcast a 24-hour channel featuring lifestyle reports aimed at women.
Howard Stern was bad enough, but Howard Stern AND Martha Stewart?
Not just no, but hell no.

Gak.
On one of our trips, we rented an Avis car with XM. And while it was fun to play with it for three days, neither of us thought it was worth the cost.
I'm happier with my iPod.

The cost is the reason I'm not getting one, this year at least.
An iPod is too much trouble. I can already listen to the songs I have. I want songs I don't have.

Amen to that!

XM it is -- once I cough up the hardware costs.
