Bill Janklow's Motorcycle Manslaugher Trial Continues An excerpt, Janklow, a former four-term Republican governor of South Dakota, has pleaded not guilty to charges of speeding, failing to stop, reckless driving and second-degree manslaughter. Witnesses have said he didn't even slow down for the stop sign. First he lied about swerving to avoid a white car and then blamed low blood sugar for the lie. Janklow has a long history of utter disregard for traffic laws but got off for years because he was the governor and then a congressman. |

- I've been driving around in my car a lot lately and have spent much time thinking about my iPod. Right now, the only way for me to listen to my iPod in the car is through an FM transmitter (which doesn't work at all in the Bay Area) or a cassette emulator (which works but doesn't sound that good). In other words, the future of music looks very much like either 1940's technology or 1960's technology. Of course, the real problem is that the auto is still very much a closed system.
