Sick of iPhone coverage yet? Good. So am I. For day 3 of our giveaway let’s offer a prize you can use with ANY mp3 player. It’s the i2i Stream. This device lets you easily connect up 2 or more people wirelessly to one mp3 player. Think of it as a cordless interface for your music. My kids have been testing it in the back seat of my car on the way to and from camp (they’re 8 years old) and so far it’s getting rave reviews (and keeping them silent during the ride). Would you like to win one (I mean a player and not a kid — though on some days I’m open to reasonable offers)? I have a pair to give away to one lucky winner! Click through to the next page for an easy New York multiple choice quiz concerning Grand Central Terminal. And congratulations to Mcurtis for correctly pointing out that Grand Central is technically referred to as a Terminal (terminating point for trains) rather than a station (only a stop).

The i2i Stream is a great little device. Here’s how you set it up with your player. Simply plug one device (The transmitter) into your MP3 player via the universal connector.

a. Plug your headphones into your i2i Stream.
b. Chose one of 7 colored channels to receive/transmit on (this prevents overlap in crowded areas)
c. Press send to broadcast your player (or receive to receive someone else’s signal)

Each i2i has an individual volume control so you can adjust your headphones to the level your’re comfortable with.

These are excellent for kid who may want to share music. Also ideal for anyone who might want to share music while working out or at work. There are any number of uses for the i2i.

There are no batteries to replace – you recharge them via your USB port (cable included).

Would you like to win one in today’s contest?

In keeping with the contest theme of New York trivia, I have another easy Grand Central Terminal question:

A complete restoration of the Grand Central Terminal ceiling was completed in 1998.

The ceiling was originally painted in 1912 by French artist Paul Cesar Helleu. A new ceiling went up in the late 1930’s but was soon became heavily discolored. The restoration completed in 1998 removed all but a single dark patch above the Michael Jordan’s Steak House (visible below) which was left visible to remind visitors of the grime that once covered the ceiling.

Here’s a picture of the portion of the ceiling that they left un-restored. It’s a very tiny speck. Unfortunately I took this with my iPhone so I couldn’t zoom in close enough to give a lot of detail.

The trivia question for today:

When the ceiling was restored, what did they find was the main substance causing all the grime?

a. Smog from the city
b. Tar and nicotine from the years when smoking was allowed inside
c. Coal and diesel smoke from trains
d. Bad paint
e. None of the above

Leave your answer to the trivia question in the comments. I’ll draw one name from all those who leave a correct answer. The winner receives a pair of i2i Stream music transmitters. Good luck!
