Since I liked the Visor's quality, I went back to XACT's website and took a look. I found the Replay (XTR8CK) and when I saw the features and the price ... http://roberto.machorro.net/2006/08/20/xact-replay-xtr8ck/ Maybe I've been spoiled and I have no longer eaten fast food in a long time. Just home cooking and sit down when out for me. And yesterday I decided to get frugal and go to McDonald's. One (menu) number one later I'm in pain. Stomach pain. That stuff just ... http://roberto.machorro.net/2006/08/09/whats-in-a-mickey-d-burger/ My son Diego spent his summer in Mexico with my parents, that's close to two months! He missed us for a few minutes here and there, but for the most part he was having so much fun he considered "staying there, because maybe he forgot how to get back home". ... http://roberto.machorro.net/2006/08/09/diego-is-back-mom-flying-back-home/ On father's day my wife and kids gave me a XACT Visor, which is a plug and play for Sirius. I'm loving every minute of that thing! I listen to it on my close to 90 mins. work commute (both ways) and while at work.

But in the end, I wasn't blogging anymore. I missed TrackBacks and Typo just didn't have them. So I gave MoveableType a go, the install was easy, but customizations where not.
