My car has a USB socket for MP3/AAC audio, but so far it has been to much of a trouble to regularly fill up a flash drive with music and podcasts. iTuneMyWalkman is originally made for synchronizing a mobile phone, but it seems to work great with any flash drive. Only thing better would be an iPod dock on the dashboard.

From Parallels to VirtualBox

I had Parallels 3.0 for running Linux virtual machines on my Mac. Upgrade to Snow Leopard would have required the purchase of upgrade to Parallels 4.0. Instead, I tried uninstalling Parallels and setting up Sun VirtualBox 3.0.6. This works fine with Snow Leopard and the whole system with the virtual machines running feel much more responsive. Unfortunately I had to discard the old virtual machines and install new ones from scratch. There would have been a way to convert them using a converted from VMWare, but it looked like too much trouble.
