How good is the AirPort Express? #
I know I have a number of techie (read: geeky) friends who read this, so I have a quick question. How good is the AirPort Express? I've been considering buying one of these for a while, cause I think AirTunes sounds mad cool. The idea of being able to stream music from my PowerBook to my home stereo without being tethered is just too sweet... and it's such a small package! But I'm hedging, cause seems like a lot of money to spend right now, given that I have this huge new expense -- the house.
So here's the question... does anybody out there have one of these nifty little gadgets? If so, what do you think of it? Does it work well? Is it worth the cost? (Strangers are, of course, welcome to answer too.)

Free iPod & Flat Screen -- Okay, I'll bite #
After being wary of the sites for a while, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and see if I can pull a free iPod and free 27" Sony WEGA television. Anybody who has used the 'net over the past couple months has, no doubt, stumbled upon these sites from time to time and decided that they must just be scams. Well... they probably are, to some extent, but it does appear that you can get free stuff from them. Even the press seems to be convinced:
So I'm doing it. But rather than volunteer the email addresses of my friends, I've decided to just post about it here on my blog, in hopes that some of my friends will decide to sign up and get my some free stuff. (Strangers are welcome, too.)
In fact. If I manage to get a free iPod or free flat screen TV, then I'll help out whomever got me their by bumping my links and posting theirs. Just email me at freenonsense {at} benschumacher {dot} com with your referral link and I'll post them in the order they are received. (I can do one of them "conga line" things.)

Oh... and one more thing. I would suggest signing up for something that doesn't require any up front cost, unless it's something you're really interested in. The free trials of Netscape Internet Service or AOL seem to be the popular choices, but inFone also seems to be free and comes with a $10 Amazon gift certificate to boot.
Unless you're extremely gullible, the promise of getting a free iPod from FreeiPods.com looks extremely dubious.
But surprisingly, the site appears to be legitimate. The program almost certainly isn't a dodgy pyramid scheme; it's a new form of online marketing supported by companies like eBay, AOL and Columbia House.
