I switch on the iPod. But that’s as annoying as KEXP’s Saturday morning programming, for two reasons. A) the iPod is a one-person thing, and I tend to share my Saturday AM’s with my girlfriend. She’d probably get annoyed if I plugged in when riding shotgun in the car or at the breakfast table.

This spurred an idea: The Couples iPod. It would have dual inputs for headphones (with extra long cords) so friends/lovers can both simultaneously listen to the unit. Excuse me, I have to call Mr. Jobs…
