I have got to get me one of these.
Sad iPod of death
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.
Good Weekend
I had a really, really good weekend. Got some stuff done around the house, worked on the kid’s bikes, painted Christian’s bike, cleaned and put training wheels on Caitlin’s new-used bike, enjoyed being with my family. Contentedness is where you find it.
I also read House Of M – a marvel miniseries that has been coming out, as the prelude to “Civil War” – and I’m quite impressed. I haven’t liked any Marvel books other than Daredevil for quite a while. I have about 80 X men books that I only have 6 weeks to read, so I need to get on that too.
