The iPod Decision

My old faithful iPod nano has served me well. Her name is Trinity (given the fact my old desktop was Mr. Anderson. Get it?). My parents gave it to me for Christmas during my senior year of college, and she’s been put through much abuse and commuting since then.
This week during my trip to work, [...]

GBA Surgery

A couple months back, when I placed an order for my DS flash card, I couldn’t resist checking out what other goodies the site had (I was paying for shipping anyway, after all). And then I discovered… GBA shells. I bought my GBA used, so it was pretty beat up.

This is Mr. Anderson:
(not me. The other party in the photo.)

This photograph was taken moments after he came back to life, fully installed with OSX Leopard. He was shiny and new again. I obsessed over iPhoto ‘09, reorganized my files after an archive & install, and nearly drooled over how crisp and pretty the graphics [...]
