Technology at it's best

Another reason I love freedom is that with my check from the government I was able to buy me a new I-pod. yes, it is pretty much the same and just plays music. However, with this one I could in theory download movies and TV shows. Now they are expensive so I would rather not, but on their website I found some free downloads. One such download are a bunch of clips from The Onion News Network. Just like the Onion Newspaper, the news network is a bunch if fake and hilarious news. Since I cannot read these are much more entertaining.

Goodbye Old Friend

It finally happened....My I-Pod died. I know we had a close call not too long ago that took some miracle last minute open heart surgery to save it, but this time there was nothing happening. I was listening to her last night and I set her down for the night and then today when I got up she was dead.



At least she died peacefully in her sleep. Because I love freedom I decided to go out right away again today and stimulate the economy and buy a new one. So I am right now playing with my new one. Buying new toys sure is fun, and Bush would be happy that I am helping the economy.

Back to Life...

having not given up hope on my I-pod I went online searching for answers on how to save it. Nothing seemed to be working. Then I downloaded the newest patch and tried it on my old clunker of a computer. It took about an hour to load up and connect to my I-pod but it successfully set my I-Pod back to factory settings. I am now working on putting all my music back on my I-pod. and then all will be right with the world again. I will once again have 30 gigs of music ready at my fingertips.

R.I.P. you P.O.S.

I think my I-pod just died, piece of s**t. Actually it lasted for 2 years, 9 months (longer than my first marriage).

I went to turn it on this morning to listen to some tunes and there was nothing on it. It turned on, but when I went to track lists they were all blank. Then today after work I went home and was going to plug it into my computer and just put new songs on it, no worries. I plugged it in and I-tunes couldn't recognize it, and said there was an error. It told my I needed to reset the factory settings with the CD. Again, no worries, it was already blank. I went through all the steps and clicked on initialize reset. It sat there for about 5 minutes, began making sounds and said "can't mount the I-pod" Hey buddy, sounds like a personal problem.

I tried it again on a different computer, same thing. Last thing I am going to do is try a new I-pod connection cord. If that doesn't work, it is dead.

For those of you who are interested services will be Saturday night at a local tavern to be determined. Then I will bury it at sea as indicated in its will.

I was planning on getting a new one this summer that could all kinds of new things. I guess I;ll just move up that date to this Sunday. Good thing I robber that bank last weekend. Woops, probably shouldn't have said that. I was even thinking about getting the I-knife. It's cool and handy.
