Bonus Song of the Day, Day 7

They say you know you're a grownup when your knees heal. I guess I'm still a kid. :)

Oops, Day 7

Yeah, that would be a four-Band-Aid-worthy abrasion. I need a new set of skating knee pads before trying this on a sidewalk again. Oh, well, what's a little bloodshed in pursuit of adventure?

Flyers Orange FTW

Late last night, I decided that I was going to invest in a proper iPad case ASAP. So I tracked down an article I'd read a day or so earlier, about top-rated cases for the new generation of the device.

One particular style of case caught my eye, with an adjustable built-in stand. It comes in four colors: black, royal blue, berry, and tangerine.

I was all set to get black. Most of the other peripherals, accessories, etc. that I buy are black, because I don't normally prefer to have eye-catching stuff. But I just kept liking -- REALLY liking -- the orange case.

So at length, I figured, "Aw, what the heck?" and ordered the tangerine case.

Now all I have to do is keep close tabs on the device until sometime next week, when the order arrives.

All done. Almost.

iPad: replaced. 4G service: transferred. Fee: paid. Apple Care: one incident remaining.

Aspirin: needed.

It was determined that my near-miss accident this morning wasn't a miss after all. The iPad started to fall from the kitchen table. I "caught" it between my hip and the table. So when it never hit the floor, I thought I was in good shape. Till I saw the glass.

I guess the table edge pressed the glass, breaking it. Never again.

Plus I'm going out and getting all spherical furniture. No sharp edges, no problem, right? ;-)

At least it wasn't plugging/unplugging that caused the issue. Anyone know where I can get a CAST IRON hard-shell case?

Son of a curse word

I have an appointment with the Apple Store to get my iPad screen fixed. I have. I have no clue how it broke. &$%#£+...

I know it's hardly the end of the world, and people would happily trade problems with me. But it sure is annoying.

Crapola. My iPad fell & its screen cracked. Glad I got Apple Care; I'm on hold with them now. FirstWorldProblems
