iPod halp! I have an 80gb iPod classic and every time I plug it into my Macbook to sync it, the iPod itself crashes. I've checked the apple website and tried googling it but to no avail - the only things I can find are about iTunes crashing. Instead of it saying 'connected', it freezes on the last track I was playing and won't respond until you reset it by holding the centre and menu buttons. After I reset it, I can plug it in and it works fine - it just seems to be the first time that it happens which makes it more of an annoyance than anything else.
I got it for Christmas last year and it has been fine until now, I've only noticed this happening in the past week or so... was just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to fix it? It's still under warranty, so is it worth taking it to the apple store for them to look at it? |

Birth control is NOT abortion. I've mentioned this issue here before, but it's worthwhile to make our voices heard through as many channels as possible. From MoveOn.Org here: Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception?
It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. This "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval.
Can you sign an emergency message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, whose department is considering this rule change right now? We'll pass your signature and information to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which will deliver the signatures to Leavitt. They'll be able to follow up with you on this issue. Click here to sign the petition. Current Mood: angry |

Journal clients I switched from Windows to Mac one year ago and the only real regret I have is having to give up Semagic for my journals. Having the LJ Login add on for Firefox helps (allowing me to switch identities for RPG and such), but I still miss my client. Does anyone here use a client to post? If so, which one? I've tried XJournal and didn't like it. I've tried Deepest Sender (for Firefox) and didn't like that either. Has anyone used Ecto? If so, what is your opinion? I would love for the makers of Semagic to make a version for Mac, but, barring that, I'm looking for a client as similar as I can get. Thanks in advance. Current Mood: curious |

Dan Savage Love Since the syndicated feed dansavage seems to be pointing to the wrong place, and I can't find the right URL to get it pointing to the right place (not that I'm in charge of that RSS feed), I created one for the podcasts: savagelovecastSavage Love is a sex advice column written by gay advice columnist Dan Savage. If anyone can manage to update the dansavage feed to point to the right place, I'd be much obliged as well! |

Creative new advertisement from WeCanSolveIt.org This ad will be airing on Monday during the Olympics. It's creative, and it makes the point that we all must participate if this crisis is to be averted. ( Click for video )Real change can happen real fast. We can strengthen our economy, lower fuel costs, free ourselves from our addiction to oil, and help solve the climate crisis. We can do this by switching to clean, free energy sources like the wind and sun -- and to do it within 10 years. Meeting this ambitious goal would create millions of new jobs, lead to permanently lower energy costs for families and help America lead the fight against global warming.
More than a million people are standing up for solutions. Please join them and sign our petition today:
“America must commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and other clean sources within 10 years.” Sign the petition here. As Al Gore says: [...] Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.
This goal is achievable, affordable and transformative. It represents a challenge to all Americans - in every walk of life: to our political leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and to every citizen.
A few years ago, it would not have been possible to issue such a challenge. But here's what's changed: the sharp cost reductions now beginning to take place in solar, wind, and geothermal power - coupled with the recent dramatic price increases for oil and coal - have radically changed the economics of energy. [...] Current Mood: quixotic |

Why I am such a cynical pessimist Because every time I believe in someone, they let me down. It's better to just not expect anything of people. Yes, I am talking about John Edwards. By now, you know the story, so I won't repeat it. lasarina pointed out this to me just now. It's so totally apropos. STYX - "Show Me The Way"Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven And every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I've lost my faith [...] Click the link, and read the rest of the lyrics.
