Back on the Sirius teet... for now
Yesterday, I finally got my replacement Sirius radio back. My initial plan was just place the sucker on eBay and be done with it; however, a couple of things made me reconsider and turn on the service for at least another month.

1. They returned it without the original packing
I didn't get a new retail unit. I got, what appears to be, a refurb dumped into a box filled with packing peanuts. Not exactly eBay-friendly (much less customer-friendly). The chances of getting a decent bid are pretty low.

2. I'm driving to Chicago in a couple of weeks
I am making the 5-6 hour drive up to Chicago to attend the 37 Signals "Getting Real" Workshop. I figure that I will quickly tire of fiddling with my iPod while I drive.

Plus, I am cancelling the $40 phone service that we get through Insight, so we'll be $27 ahead, right (hey, that makes sense in my head)? Right now, they are playing "In and Out of Love" by Bon Jovi on Hair Nation, so all is well.
