2. Pretty Much Everywhere
Everyone’s had to deal with the jerk blaring Journey or Soulja Boy out of their ‘phones. Subjecting others to your musical tastes is bad enough, the real danger here is damaging your hearing. Apple’s even been sued because of the potential for stupid people to mangle their own eardrums. Turn down the volume, folks. Everyone-- and your ears-- will thank you.
1. Walking Down a City Street
The third day I had my first iPod, I almost killed myself crossing the street. Let that be a lesson to you. I was enjoying a Shaft moment, strutting down the block with music filling my head. Meanwhile some jerk in a car blew a four-way stop, coming within inches of hitting me. Pay attention out there, people.
I wonder if he was fiddling with his iPod while driving....

This will be yet another extremely popular post. I've been looking for gradients for Fireworks and have experience with your previous set. I can't thank you enough for the work you put into this. Greatly appreciated!

James Bond 007 is on the search for a Russian decoding machine, known as Lektor. Bond needs to find this machine, before the evil SPECTRE organization discovers it first. Whilst being romantically linked with Russian girl, Tatiana Romanova, Bond sneaks his way around Istanbul, whilst each SPECTRE agent tries to pick him off, including the over powering Donald ‘Red’ Grant and ex-KGB agent Rosa Klebb who knows all the tricks in the books and even possesses an incredible poison tipped shoe! download online movies

Whew, finally an article that almost reminded me of the silly stuff Mac Addict would do and I loved, although this article is a bit too true, I enjoyed it.
Thanks

Most of these don't require you to NOT use your iPod, but to use it at a reasonable volume where you can still be aware of external sounds. For example, don't turn up Shaft so loud you can't hear traffic and definitely don't use earbuds that block outside noise when in these situations.
As for Redmond, if I worked there I'd use this product: http://hideapod.com/

Was that guy absent the day they taught NOT mowing your lawn in the lightning storm? Period. Regardless of whether or not he was wearing an iPod...

Mixing good ideas with silly ones is a waste of everyone's time. And, doubtlessly, the people who need the good ideas aren't smart enough to separate them from the silly ones.

Just noticed that the photo of the subway that was used is from Mexico City's METRO. I´m pretty sure it was nowhere near rush hour. Still you don´t want to have those white wires hanging from your ears which tell more than a Huge neon sign that reads STEAL MY iPOD

If my sarcasm was a little to over-the-top or harsh, I too apologize. :)

No apology necessary. I guess my sarcasm wasn't sarcastic enough.

Au Contraire re surgery. I love using my ipod while doing surgery -- it helps drown out the sound of those pesky machines.

Love your food blog Ray, really, but this article is just dumb. Not funny not entertaining not any use at all.
But what is your opinion on truffle oil --- is it worth the price?

Is it white or black truffle oil?
Sorry you weren't amused. I'll try harder next time.

So I can't use my iPod anywhere? Well thank you! That's a helpful, insightful article. Some suggested additions:
While performing surgery
White at a concert
While making a speech
While listening to your girlfriend tell her about your day
