I want an iPod Mini. Who wouldn’t? They’re small, they come in cool colors, they don’t scratch, and they’re the cheapest iPod available at the moment. But, as anyone who has tried to look for one this summer will tell you, they are impossible to find. No one has them in stock, and the Apple Store has a waiting list longer than the ticket line to a new Star Wars movie. So instead of waiting for who knows how long on a list, I did what anyone as impatient as myself would - I got one on eBay. Unfortunately everything did not go so smoothly, considering that was 26 days ago and it still hasn’t shipped. I did find a real store that has them in stock yesterday though, and will be getting one from there once my eBay order is cancelled, but not everyone is that lucky. Who would have thought that so many people would want these things?

Now that school starts in less than 2 days, I’m going to have to face the worst part about it. No, it not the incredible amount of homework, or the fact that this will be the first school with over 150 people that I’ve gone to since preschool, not even that it marks the end of summer. The thing that I dread the most it having to wear a watch again. Now, the watch itself isn’t that uncomfortable, I just don’t want to have to know what time it is every minute of the day, or realizing just how little time there is after 4PM.

That’s all I have right now, so I guess that means it’s time for another link of the day (see, it’s already a tradition!). I couldn’t go long without pointing this site out. Have a computer? Then why wouldn’t you want to continue in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (plus, the name has that cool little @ symbol, that sealed the deal for me)? I’m talking about SETI@home. They recently moved to a new program so some bugs are still being worked out, but your computer can still be working in the mean time.
