Well today is a sad day...My iPod (3rd Generation from 2004) finally kicked the bucket. Well the battery part did, it still works when you have it plugged into the base, but what good does that do for me?
If I had the $499, I get the new iPod touch.... But not right now. I think I can get a replacement batter for $16 or so... One of those DIY kits.

Wow... It's been some time since I posted... Yes I am still alive, but it seems like every time I come up with a brilliant idea for something, I don't have my computer with me.
Well the last few weeks have been real busy. First my Honda Civic that I keep over in the Bay Area broke down. Honda called me up and said it was going to cost $1500+ to fix it. Apparently the engine coil arced and fried the engine computer ($845). Hell no! No way am I going to spend $1500 when I bought the car for $3000. So since Honda told me what went wrong, and a call into my buddy Scott (Honda man), I knew I could fix the car myself. $240 in parts later and a Saturday morning with my dad, the car is back up and running like new.
While I was waiting for the parts to show up, off to Connecticut I went for a customer visit. One day out, customer visits and then fly home that night... Talk about a long few days.
Now for a bit of Japanese humor.
