Why can’t anyone come up with a decent iPod interface for cars?

If you read my previous post, you probably suspect that I went ahead with the purchase.  Yes I did.  The Acura RDX is indeed geek nirvana.  And understated in my prose was the voice command capability of the vehicle.  Oh, it’s awesome!  So far, my favorite commands are “XM 41″ for some head-banging tunes, “passenger temperature 32 degrees” to freeze out whoever is riding with me, and “find nearest fast food restaurant” for righteous eats.  The whole system is very seamless and it seems like pretty much every function …

For those of you with XBoxes and Live accounts, be sure to download the Red vs. Blue holiday greeting.  It’s hilarious and makes fun of political correctness which can ruin this time of year for everyone, not just non-Christians.

For you perl coders,

$in=”4D 65 72 72 79 20 58 6D 61 73 21 “;

foreach ($in=~m/(.. )/g) {

    print chr(hex($_));

}

Have fun and season’s greetings, everyone!
