How are you gonna watch TV while driving?

Same way I always have on long drives. Carefully. Most times you can still follow the storyline just listening anyway.

Planning on mounting the screen right where the modifry gps holder plate goes. Problem is finding a place to put the mini and the power cord.

I got a screen mounted there right now. Had a headrest LCD lying in the basement so I hooked it up just using my iphone and aftermarket composite iphone video cable.

Screen ($60?)
Modifry dash bracket ($18)
aftermarket composite cable ($3.50?)
Add a fuse ($5?)
Extra accessory socket ($5?)
Usb charger plug ($5?)
iphone hacked to use aftermarket cable and install TvOutTuner (free)

Damn, that lilliput upgrade looks might tasty as the headset LCD I had is only 480x240.. =(

I believe the lilliput is only 480x240 but it does scaling to 1024x768 or something like that...

*chuckles* Just didn't want to say anything until I got an offer. Got it officially today! Just gotta clear my background and take a drug test.

I'm going to working at Nasdaq as a Reliability Engineer. Basically working on a team to manage a cluster of several thousand machines that run the exchange. If I don't do my job correctly, you won't be able to buy and sell stocks on the nasdaq.

In depth, my position is to start the exchange by 7am, so it's ready for the 9:30am market start. The servers are all subscribed to a multicast group receiving messages from the control server to start receiving its instructions for the day which consists of whom to accept orders from along with a bunch of other configured options.

Starting out, I will be completely un-useful for 3-6 months while I learn the gig.

It's gonna be one helluva ride. 6am to 3pm shifts. As the manager replied to my question, "So what happens if I don't start the exchange by 7am?"
