I'm Rob Blatt. For the most part I wrote about my dogs, music and technology. I swear quite a bit, so this blog isn't for people who can't handle that. I encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed. All the random images to the right are courtesy of my amazing wife.
Lately, there’s been some talk of how to improve on the iPod HiFi. The talk is mainly coming from people who have noticed that since the G4 Cube, it’s the only piece of hardware Apple has produced that hasn’t gotten a loving upgrade from Steve & Co.
As for the original, we’ve had one of these beasts in our house for a while now and we couldn’t be happier with it. In terms of our iPods and iPhones, the speaker is completely transparent in listening to music. It sits in our kitchen and supplies music to the kitchen and living room quite happily. In my opinion, it is the absolute best iPod speaker out there.
It does what it does, and it does it well, but where is the room for improvement? Right here:
By adding an Airport Express to the HiFi, you have a place to beam music from any computer in your house using iTunes’ wifi, which is already built into the hardware of the Airport Express. Once you plug in the speaker you are ready to rock your iTunes music anywhere in the house, and you also have a camouflaged wifi relay point. If you take a look at a cross sectioned picture of the device, there’s clearly room on the inside for the guts of an Airport.
The price would be a little high on this new device, but I’m sure Apple could figure out a way to market their new HiFi wifi speaker so people will buy it for a few hundred dollars.
Apple, when you make this gadget, I expect a large check.
I don’t think that I’ve expressed the joy I’m feeling leading up to my wedding. That’s not sarcasm. I mean it. I’m posting this mostly for Amber, who’s never heard the song before. Here it is, video, music and lyrics.
No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m savin’ my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
I’m through with flirtin’
It’s just you I’m thinkin’ of
Ain’t misbehavin’
I’m savin’ my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don’t go nowhere
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for
Believe me
I don’t stay out late
Don’t care to go
I’m home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’
Savin’ my love for you

I did not expect my laptop this morning when I went to sleep and it was in Anchorage Alaksa. However, I woke up this morning to see that the laptop was one town away waiting in the FedEx in Stratford, CT.
