I Broke It
Oh dear, I seem to have broken my iPod. iTunes froze mid-sync and I ended up removing it without ejecting. Now iTunes won’t read it and neither will Anapod. I’m managing to copy all the files from it onto my backup drive, and iTunes wants me to restore the factory settings. But if I restore … Continue reading

BT Not Working
For some reason BitTorrent is not working for me right now. Last night I downloaded the Borat movie to watch on the bus to New York (we have a headphone splitter), and then this morning I tried to download a movie that :A: wanted to see, but for some reason it wouldn’t download. I tried … Continue reading

PPP Channel
YouTube now has a special channel for PayPerPost. It primarily includes their reality show RockStartup, which is basically pretty self-referential from what I can tell…about how PPP is getting started as a fairly new company. I quickly noticed a video about the HP camera giveaway, which I’ve displayed below. It’s one of the most accessible … Continue reading
Coin Missing
Well, this is embarrassing. I bought a geocoin, activated it, and then carried it around for a couple of weeks. And then…I lost it. The last time I remember having it was when we were in New York for the Perfume movie a couple of weeks ago, and now it is not anywhere. I’ve looked … Continue reading
