Maybe I Am Materialistic

These things have changed my life to various degrees:

1. Auto-dimming rear view mirror. How is this not standard on all vehicles?

2. The DVR. So obvious, I probably shouldn't have bothered adding it here. I'm reminded how much I rely on it every time I try to skip ahead 30 seconds and see "Live TV".

3. Meebo. I wasn't able to use IM at work because the IT group blocks the ports that IM traffic uses. Meebo uses the standard Internet port and somehow funnels IM traffic through that. Did I mention that it aggregates all of the big IM clients, too?

4. In-line volume control. So much easier than to locate the volume button/rocker/slider on one of the many devices I use for music.
