Geeking Out

Do you ever have those times when you think in your head that something is going to be a great idea, but when you actually do this activity you were thinking about it turns out to be not such a great idea?

Well… this is one of those times.

Currently I’m posting this blog without a computer. No, I’m not using my phone. Okay, there is a story here. Turns out I’m one of the unlucky macbook owners that had the case near the wrist area start to splinter and crack apart. I first got a bit worried because I had been told by some of my mac friends that Apple doesn’t cover cosmetic damage. I jumped online and found that I am not alone! Yes there were lots of other mac owners who had experienced the same cracking phenomena. So, I’m made my appointment with the local genius bar to try and get it covered under warranty.

This morning, I headed off to my Apple store. By the way, I just found out that my Apple store (Tysons Corner, VA) was the second Apple store opened. There I was met by the rush of Christmas shoppers. (I hate the mall during Christmas.) After waiting and waiting the genius who helped me said they could fix it, but they would take about 2-3 days. Aaaaarrggghhhhhh!!!!

So while my mac is off getting a body peel and a facial, I’m left to play the uber geek and update my blog using my old Nokia 770 Internet tablet that that I got from Woot.com and hacked to run a newer version of the software.

Now remember when i said this turned out to be a bad idea… Well, I’ve been tapping in each letter of this post using a stylus on a virtual keyboard. I think if i’m going to do this again, I’ll need to get an external bluetooth keyboard.

And hopfully I’ll get my macbook back very soon.
