For $500, I better achieve orgasm from a set of headphones.

I second Kwo. I have the Shure E3c. Great headphones, I live in nyc and they really keep out the subway noise. The E5c’s are supposed to be better but they cost about $500.

I haven’t tried the PX 100′s, but I really like my Shure E3c’s. They cost quite a bit more, but the sound quality is worth it.

Neo,

Try some Sennheiser PX 100′s.

Lightweight and the sound is fabulous.

I just came across a new variety of navigation system this weekend, OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation.

Push the button, tell the Onstar person where you want to go and follow the automated voice directions that are sent to your car by satellite. No ugly, distracting screen involved! Looks much nicer than the cheesy after market products or the ridiculously expensive factory installed systems that are not all that user friendly.

the comments remind of recent brain research focusing on density of synapse connectivity in various parts of the brain. Researchers found males had denser synapse connectivity in areas relating to finding their way from one place to another. Females had denser synapse connectivity in areas relating to multitasking. Both traits could be evolutionary results.

I enjoy perusing YouTube for “music/videos” from before MTV existed, but walking around with earphones on 24/7? Not so much — iPod would be dead on arrival if they depended on me.

As far as GPS goes, well yea it may be helpful at night for those that can’t read a map, but as a man that has never been lost, the shadows from the sun are a better navigator for me.

All that said, y’all best get ready for the tax bills that are coming based on your GPS trackable road usage, both by mileage and time of day, with special surcharges if you happen to stray past the CA border with a non-CA certified vehicle: “You’re in Cal-e-fornia now, pay up…”

And at least GPS will offer directions with a “pleasant female voice” as opposed to “NAAAAH, NAAAAH, NAAAAAAHHHHH!”.

Sorry, but “headphones” are not something you stick “in” your ear. And if the woman could read a map in the first place, I wouldn’t have to “figure out” where we’re going while driving at the same time. And continuing to shirk her duties as “navigator”, she will then shrill and shriek to ask “someone else” for directions. GPS HAD to be invented. Women aren’t going to do it. So, quit telling me we’re lost because I’M stubborn.
