    Awesome idea. I dig Threadless, though I don't like that they do everything on American Apparel shirts which are waaaayyy too long. How are you supposed to wear that without it hanging way below any over shirt?

    @The5thElephant: um, tuck it into your pants? :)

    Speaking as a tall person that can rarely find shirts that are actually long enough to properly cover his torso after a couple washes (sometimes even in "tall" sizes, some of the brands only add like one inch, yet charge extra for it, *sigh*), I appreciate long shirts.

    @devwild: Bah! I hate tucking into my pants. Makes me look uptight.

    I just wish they had options as to which shirt you want it printed on. Their earlier shirts shrank way too much and these new ones are too big. There is no balance!

    In reply to Griffin's iTrip FM Transmitter: Hardware Controlled Through an iPhone App
    Because the Dorkmobile is old, I just put in a new radio with a rear USB. It's not as kludgy as an FM transmitter, allows me to control the music on the radio, and gives me HD radio.

    I just think that the FM transmitter solution is starting to show its years.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Same. I got tired of the static and crappy audio quality from my iTrip, so I picked up a Clarion head-unit for $200, about the same price as adding an aftermarket iPhone/iPod adapter to the stock radio. Definitely worth it, especially on the 12 hour roadtrips back home. I'd normally be adjusting the station of the iTrip every half hour to get a good signal.

    @OMG! Ponies!: It just depends on the car... My Trailblazer for example kicks out some weird RF while it's running and transmitters don't work at all in my car, yet in my wifes car they are crystal clear.

    I'm thinking that cars which have rear antennas actually stand a better chance of working well with a small transmitter as opposed to front mounted. That's my guess anyways.

    I wonder if this is backwards compatible with their Roadtrip device, that holds the iPhone in place on a gooseneck stick that plugs into your cigarette lighter for charging? Or if they're making a similar Roadtrip-like device for iTrip?

    Their Roadtrip holder thingy would seem especially useful if you were going to access the App's controls on the iPhone, and aren't built in chargers a must for FM transmitters?

    @crabbygeek: I've used Griffin's stuff before and it generally works well as long as you're careful with it. What I've seen haven't exactly been the best-constructed devices in the world, though.

    Of course, the best portable FM transmitter will be crap if you live in an area teeming with radio stations or if you have a car with a poorly-placed antenna. But that's just how it goes.

    So it's a little past midnight, and I'm catching up on today's posts. I see the "priceless" app, think it looks interesting, and download it. Surely I'll be able to ignore the branding crap, right?

    Wrong. Even though I have the ringer disabled, this stupid thing starts talking - as in, reciting a stupid Mastercard ad, and waking up my wife, who was sleeping next to me. Now she's pissed at me.

    "Augmented reality app that finds you cool deals? Free. Not getting laid because your stupid app pissed off the wife? Priceless." Or something.
