Magsafe, iPods, Cars, and Vinyl
So… today started pretty good. Accomplished some great stuff at work. I got some stuff threaded in a half a day that my boss thought would take weeks. It scales alright too :). n-threads. word.
That’s about all the good in my day. The macbook pro I use for work’s power connecter (known as a magsafe connector) kinda stopped working and then melted and sparked a bit. They were nice enough at the Apple store to replace it even though the MBP was out of warranty (I don’t think they really want to put up a fuss about something that could have started a fire)… and that was sweet because I don’t have to file an expense report and it’s a good story.
It gets worse. After I left the Apple Store I come back to my car and guess what? My window is smashed in and my iPod and GPS is gone. This is a really nice mall too. Like 5:00 pm. How random is that? It sucks a lot. Especially because I have glass all inside my car and no drivers side window…. and no iPod. Luckily I have a few CD’s I can throw in my car.
Yeah that sucks. I got my new Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah album on vinyl today. I’m a little disappointed the first song, Some Loud Thunder, still sounds like not so good. Half of the album is solid. There’s some songs that are just mediocre too. Am I disappointed? A little bit. The album was hella expensive because it had to be imported.
At least tomorrow is Friday.
