The car scared me

Last night, as I was leaving my friends house to come home, I opened my car door and to my horror, the lights didn't come on. As my brain frantically searched for what to do with my car that obviously had a dead battery, the ice on the button in the door frame broke, and the light came on. Then I drove home.

Cell Phone Post: Last finals week


This is what a laptop screen looks like when dropped off a table onto a linoleum floor:

When I called dell to get information, they kindly offered to send me a replacement for only $450, I kindly replied that the laptop itself was not worth that much and that I was only looking for a part number. They gave me one, but of course it wasn't real, if you look closely at the picture above, you can see the frame is removed so that I could get at the real part number on the back. Enter ebay, and less than $110 later, this is the final product. It made me feel very useful to be able to fix this myself.


Just words

This is a note to anyone who is reading this, as a heads up, I finally got around to copying all the photos off my cell phone, and I am trying not to deluge anyone, but there are a lot of posts from those to catch up, so check back often, there should be lots to post about for a while.

Who's seen fantasia?

This is the roof of a car, I dont know what made the frost form like this, but to give you an idea, most of those crystals are 3 fingers wide (some almost as long as my arm). These are the kinds of things you see vacuuming cars at 6:30 a.m. Work must be good for something :)
