Today was a huge bummer, because my Zune HD has been crashing for a while. I figured I would try to restore my Zune to factory state and see what I could do about fixing those crashes. It turns out that my Zune is having some larger issues, I’m guessing specifically related to the flash memory. My Zune is no longer connecting to my computer, and I’m guessing it’s finally dead. I … [Read more...]

The returns of putting effort into life.
January 12, 2012 by
Raise your hand as high as you can. Now raise it two inches higher. THAT’S WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR LIVES! -George N. Parks This quote always makes me think, especially as we’re nearing the end of the term here at school. It worries me how little effort that people want to put into life.

I feel like I’ve accomplished a … [Read more...]
