Kiah's finally earning his keep, the little slacker.

It's been such a busy and crazy couple months, I've neglected to mention several things on the blog. One such thing was the death of my iPod. My fourth gen iPod kicked the bucket approximately 3 months ago. Due to bigger things going on, I simply accepted this as its time to go, and moved on. While it was disappointing, Sarah let me use her iPod on my drives to work, and my workout sessions, so I wasn't music-less (A fate worse than death for me.).

Anyway, the iPod had been slow, and had been crashing occasionally, but one day, it just refused to start up, and showed the sad iPod face. I tried all I could, but was unable to do anything for it. Needless to say, it soon became a toy for Kiah who enjoyed full access to his own iPod which always made a funny (sad) face at him.

Yesterday, he was playing with it on the floor, and I suppose it still had a bit of battery charge to it, despite the fact that I charged it last 2 1/2 months ago in an attempt to revive it, because he was getting symbols on the screen. It looked strange, so I took it from him (which resulted in Kiah making a sad face) and saw a screen I've never seen before. It seems that whatever combination of key presses Kiah used activated some sort of programming screen. It had five options or so, one of which was resest. I tried it, and the iPod rebooted. I plugged it in to the mac and it ACTUALLY LOADED! I then wiped it clean, and reinstalled its OS, and loaded it with music again. It's been working perfectly for 2 days now!

I'm so happy, and to have Kiah be the one to fix it is hilarious. He's lost a toy, but earned my respect!

Here's a few recent pics. Enjoy!
