  2. Nonsense Nation Says:

    Speaking of which, is anyone else getting tired of plugging in their iPod every day to download Podcasts? I wish Apple could get it together and provide WiFi sync.

    That could be a good use for the Bluetooth built into my new PowerBook.

    My iBud wires have come apart at the Y. I tried hot glue but that didn’t hold it. I’ll try the gorilla stuff next.

  4. Administrator Says:

    I’ve never used the Gorilla Glue before, but my advice would be “be careful.” A lot of glues will literally dissolve certain plastics. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe that you can pick up little kits to repair coated wires like those found on most headphones at some place like Radio Shak. You may want to try there first.

I've removed the little flash player that was here for now. It was causing some problems with the site in several browsers... okay... mostly it was IE6 because... well... I'm fairly sure that Microsoft hates me.

For now, you can view the Complete Library page, which is kind of a master list of every single track we've linked to.
