Updates

Hooked this antenna to the Grundig S350DL radio (it actually has a coax cable input for an external FM antenna) and it now picks up much more FM than before. Cool!

When I hooked up Windows 7 I killed my iTunes install, and then rebuilt the library - and now if I sync my Touch it wants to wipe it clean and reinstall everything. I had a few apps that I think I have backed up on an external drive, but the data will probably die. That sux.

Looking into iTunes plugins - there seem to be a few that allow you to use iTunes to sync up "other" players with your iTunes library. That would be interesting. Also, maybe something that cleans up the MP3 tags a bit - album art would be nice. iTunes tries, but is usually unsuccessful.

TV is still working well. A few flaky moments, but I still have the aforementioned stations digitally and clear. Nice.

Managed to do the yard - and had an awesome moment of karma. A guy (no idea who) was riding by in a tractor with a bush hog on it (big-ass mower attachment) and he saw me push mowing the ditch line (which was fast approaching neck high) - he backed up, dropped the hog, and cropped the top 2/3rds off for me - was MUCH easier to deal with after that. He departed right after with a friendly wave and gratitude from me. I hope that guy's wildest dreams come true.
