Sad iPod of death

Posted on June 16, 2006September 7, 2006 by kylar

After taking my iPod out of my backpack today it evidenced much distress: Showing me a dead iPod logo after plugging it in, and the HD making all kinds of clicking noises. I spent an hour on Apple’s troubleshooting site trying to get it all worked out – resetting it, trying to get the computer to recognize it, etc etc. Then I came across a post that says “Hit it. Or Drop it, your pleasure.” And I did. And It worked. We’ll see now.

mine just died last week as well. I have seen rumors around the internet that they have a so called ’13 month chip’ that goes belly up as soon as the warranty is up. I beet my warranty by just 3 days and got a new ipod back.

Maybe I should have tried dropping it before I returned it. I guess I will have to live vicariously through your ipod smashing.

Favorite ‘Albums’ in college

Posted on May 11, 2006September 7, 2006 by kylar

Strangely, I have had a conversation with several people and ended up saying “That was my favorite album in XXXX”

So here were my favorite 5 albums in college:
It’s A Shame About Ray – The Lemonheads
Pornograffiti – Extreme
Ten – Pearl Jam
Gordon – BNL
August And Everything After – Counting Crows

And some that I didn’t appreciate till much later:
Maybe You Should Drive – BNL (Still my favorite BNL album)
Achtung Baby – U2

Tivo….

Posted on March 4, 2006September 7, 2006 by kylar

I got a tivo a couple years ago and it’s changed the way that I watch TV. the only thing I ever watch live is the Sharks, and previously I almost never watched anything on TV – now there’s a bunch of shows that I like to tape and watch. It’s kind of taken over the way that I think about lots of things. A couple weeks ago in the car I was on my way to work and listening to AM radio (AM 740, Traffic every 10 minutes) and they did some news clip that I kind of missed. Then I
looked at it and wanted to rewind and listen to it. I need a Tivo for my radio. THEN tonight, while I was watching the sharks game, I was watching the fire (our new house has a fireplace! RAWKS!) and I threw a log on (hehe, logon) and was sitting and thinking “Wow, that fire looks really good. I actually reached for the tivo remote to PAUSE THE FIRE so that Kelly could come see it. Then I caught myself and realized what I was doing. then, not 2 minutes later, I did the exact SAME THING! I’m losing it.

PS: There needs to be a grouping mechanism for tivo, like when you pick a program to record, you can tag it or put it in a folder type thing. THEN there needs to be a ‘shuffle’ – like TiVo Shuffle for that folder.
