Some people are coming up with ideas for better integration of your iPod into your car to help avoid wreckless and un-safe driving while selecting songs and changing tracks on your iPod.
Someone suggested steering wheel integration – not little buttons next to your thumb like you would think, but a better idea: Steering Wheel = Click Wheel.
- Change lanes to change tracks.
- U-Turn to adjust volume.
- Honk to browse through the menu.
- Left Blinker to shuffle songs.
I suggest getting an “iPod on Board” sticker to help avoid any confusion from those you’re sharing the road with.

A fascinating, yet horribly flawed idea, Shawn. As soon as this happens, some goober will cut across six lanes of traffic to hit an exit just because he’s trying to hear Sweet Home Alabama one more time.
Heaven forbid he does a reboot.

Or he would miss his exit because he’s sick of that song.

Normally I don’t point out misspellings on blogs, but I thought this one was pretty funny:
“avoid wreckless and un-safe driving”
You want to avoid _reckless_ driving; wreckless driving is the result of avoiding reckless driving.

It would be you, Nate, to point out my spelling or grammar. Why don’t you come down here to KC, and give me some classes in English.
