...used to be quite skeptical of iPod docks. I preferred just plugging the iPod directly into a stereo system using a wire anyone can buy at RadioShack. (In case you?re scratching your head, it?s the Y-shaped wire with the headphone jack on one end and the red and white stereo jacks on the other.) But Digital Lifestyle Outfitters has introduced two successive docks that make me understand the benefits. The brand new HomeDock Deluxe will help maximize both the audio and video capabilities of your iPod...
...Plug the HomeDock Deluxe into your TV set and/or home-theater system then slide your iPod onto it. When you turn on the TV, you see an easy-to-navigate interface that lets you browse through all of the audio tracks on your iPod, be they protected files or plain-old MP3s.

He did a Volkswagen ad that consists entirely of his gloriously funky reinterpretation of Gene Kelly's classic Singin' in the Rain routine. He even did a cameo in You Got Served. "The choreographer had seen [the video] and wanted me to be in the movie," Bernal says. "That's usually how it works...
...made his way into the pool with his tube. “This is the best idea that has ever happened in Harvard history!” A few students received gift certificates to b.good, Daedalus, Tommy’s Pizza, and Leavitt & Peirce, as well as an iPod Shuffle in a raffle, the results of which were announced just before the screening. Moviegoers also munched on theme-appropriate Swedish Fish as the lights dimmed for the opening credits. In addition to four lifeguards, four policemen, and the supervisor of the MAC pool, former UC presidential hopeful Magnus Grimeland...
