And the Mystery Continues…

I got a 1GB stick of ram for my computer over the weekend, but it didn’t stop the blinking/random white screen.  My iBook is much faster, though, but it still blinks.
I was resigned to having to get a new computer since I was sure that meant it was the logic board that was broken.  Then [...]

Please Let it be the Ram

I took my iBook to the Apple store the other day to have the ‘geniuses’ take a look at it.  The guy turned it on and opened a bunch of programs, which got it to start blinking.  That was good since I thought I’d get it there and it would act fine.
After watching it blink [...]

IT Help

My iBook has been blinking randomly for the past few days.  My dad thinks it is because the logic board is broken and the people on the Mac forum I’m on agree.
Today I took it to the IT help desk at school just to get another opinion.  I explained the problem and the guy working [...]

From Six to Two and a Half

When I first got my iBook two years ago, the battery would last for six hours.  This was very impressive.  It continued to last for six hours for about a year and a half.  Last semester, I noticed that the battery life would only be four or five hours, which was still pretty good.
However, over [...]

I’ve Entered the World of the iPod

I took the plunge and bought my first iPod.  After having 2 MP3 players, one of which wouldn’t work with my parents’ computer, the other of which started randomly turning off by itself a few weeks ago, I just decided to go with an iPod.
I got the new iPod Nano, in red, because if [...]

What A Coincidence

I am highly considering buying an iPod.  Back when iPods were first popular when I was in high school, the things were obscenely expensive and there was no way I could afford one on my $20 a month allowance.
However, now the price of iPods is much lower than it was even 2 years ago.  I [...]

Not a Good Weekend for Electronics

Earlier today, a piece fell off of my cell phone.  This is the phone I have had for over two years, the only phone I have ever had.  It’s a Nokia 6062 (I think), and it’s quite out of date, but I like it.  The part that fell off is this little piece of black [...]

The Things You’ll Find

In preparation for the carpet project (see previous post), I have decided to thoroughly clean out my room.  I figure the more stuff I get rid of now the less I’ll have to move when we get the new carpet.  As I was rifling through the various detritus from the past few years it became [...]

Welcome Back Friends!

I used to watch Friends everyday, back when it was on FOX every evening.  This started shortly after we got rid of cable and were down to four channels.  I absolutely love Friends and was hooked immediately.  I’m sure I’ve seen almost every episode.
Unfortunately, shortly after they stopped showing new episodes, FOX changed their [...]

Bang For Your Buck

Last night my dad decided to order cell phones for my bro and one of my sisters.  My sister wants the Sony Walkman and it costs $30.  She was willing to pay for it because she wants an MP3 player and $30 is pretty cheap for an MP3 player.  My bro found some kind of [...]
