Goodbye to my iPod

broken window

This is my car’s window getting replaced as it was broken by the new owner of my stolen iPod. There’s is something sad about loosing one’s iPod. It’s such a personal item. Specially for an audiophile like me. My iPod served me well though. And although I was always tempted to replace it whenever I visited the Apple Store there was a sense of faithfulness to sticking with it. Even though it was looking really big compared to all the new ones, it didn’t play video, and had a busted screen. It was my iPod with my music. So here it is to you my dear iPod, may you serve well your new master. Although I wouldn’t blame you if you decide to stop working.

    man, that sucks…

    i completely sympathize… i felt like a little part of me died when i had to get my iPod replaced at an Apple Store.

  • paul says:

    That totally sucks! I feel for you. Good luck on the replacement fund.

  • nathan says:

    I am really sorry to hear about your ipod. Good luck with the donations. Are you not covered by house / car insurance?

  • Dave Gandy says:

    The link to donate is thowing back errors.

    I feel you, man. Had my iPod stolen last year. They were really going after my Columbia jacket, and got the iPod as a freebie.

  • thank you all for you kind remarks and your donations as well. nothing was covered by my insurance. my car insurance deductable is $1,000 so the window is not covered with it. my home insurance deductable is $500 which does not cover the ipod. for those of you who are getting an error page when trying to donate, safari is causing paypal to give an error. you can try another browser in the meantime, i emailed the guys at dropcash about the issue but i haven’t heard back. by the way, isn’t drop cash cool? it would make it a great wordpress plugin. perhaps i’ll takle that as my project once i get some outstanding jobs out of the way.

    I’ve tried using Firefox and IE6 on Windows. Could be the firewall I’m behind. I’ll try it again when I get home.

  • Matt Kerr says:

    that stinks about your iPod getting swiped. I just had a new Nikon digital camera swiped and ya, with the $500 home ins deductable, it’s not worth it.

  • i provided a direct link to paypal now. thanks.

    FYI… I’m using Safari 2.0.2 (416.13), and the DropCash link and site work fine.
