Fix your own damn gadget

Monday, July 30th, 2007

So my Fuji Finepix Z1 has been dead for a month. Won’t turn on, dead. I was thinking I’d have to send it somewhere (like Fuji Canada, genre) and give someone my money. In the meantime, it’s been sitting on its little dock cradle, and I have been acquainting myself with my cell phone’s photo [...]

Now will saying “yes” get you in trouble at times? Will saying “yes” lead you to doing some foolish things? Yes it will. But don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just [...]
