How many times is this now that I've fixed my iPod by opening it up and blowing inside, then putting it back together? Three? Four?

Is this what the Apple Store people do when they get a sad iPod icon and nothing on the support website works? Because seriously, according to Apple, I should have thrown this iPod out (and yes, bought a new one) over a year ago.

Not the most exciting weekend, unless you count my race to finish the last few levels of Elebits before the game was due back to Blockbuster. Total playtime: 12 hours. Other, significant chunks of time have been spent reading sci-fi or exploring the impressively deep world of webcomics.

(With the addition of the excellent Rob and Elliot and Rock City, I'm now keeping an eye on 17 variously-updated webcomics. Whoo!)
