Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Ipods

Everyone has a friend who owns an Ipod. Unfortunately, some people seem to think that a click wheel is the best interface for music. You really can't do much to convince these people that there are much better ways to enjoy portable media; ways that don't involve proprietary software.

Sometimes it seems like it's better to let people enjoy their white earphoned DRM players, but would you believe that the Ipod is a dangerous device that could explode in your pocket, armband, underwear or where ever else people put them when they go jogging? Well, Natalie's Ipod nano suddenly swelled up in the middle and put so much pressure on the click wheel that it stopped working.

I consulted Internet with this shocking phenomenon and found that Ipod Nanos are renown for the battery swelling for no apparent reason. I don't know if anyone had battery acid bust in their pants pocket yet, but with the recent problem with laptop battery explosions, it seems like these Ipods could be just as dangerous.

If you or someone you love owns an Ipod, it may be time to get rid of that time bomb and buy a better media player.

The Cake Is A Lie

I finally played and beat Portal. It is easily the most humorous and entertaining game I have ever played. If you are able to navigate in a FPS world, then you must do whatever it takes to play this game. I may even let you play it at my house. It only takes a couple hours to beat.

If you have played it and need to listen to the end credits song over and over, it might still be available here.

Final Fantasy

Most people know that I am a nerd. Some people know I love Final Fantasy (well, I only like 1, 6, 7, and 12). So this post is only for nerds like me who have played Final Fantasy 6 too many times.

1. Open this link in a new tab.
2. While the music starts playing, open this link and look at the picture.
3. Profit?

Tell me that this wasn't an enemy from somewhere in FF6. I wish I still had my guide, so I could find the monster that these beasts came from.

Many years ago, I found this wandering around a T-Mobile parking lot. Starving, filthy and loud. Now he's just loud.
