Minor iPod heart attack

thewayneI go to lunch, listening to my iPod all the way. Actually listening to my Kraftwerk list most of the way. Have lunch, get back in car, iPod won't turn on. Plug in to power supply. Still won't turn on.
GRRRRR....
Definitely not good since we're going to Phoenix Wednesday evening and I MUST HAVE TUNES!
I decide that the most likely culprit is that it's overheated, even though the temperature isn't much over 90. So I throw it into the fridge at work for a little bit to cool it down.
Still nothing.
Finally I plug it in to my PC at work to charge it for a while.
STILL nothing.
So I break down and go to the Apple web site to figure out how to do a restart on it.
NOW it works.
*sigh*
Replacing it right now would not have been a good thing, so I'm very glad that it decided to return to the land of the living.

Date: 2008-05-20 07:20 pm (UTC)In Phoenix, I listened to National Public Radio when I lived there as they had news programs throughout the day that I enjoyed. Here, I have yet to find a radio station that I liked. During my work driving hours, I'd still tune in the local NPR station, but everything is on the upcoming presidential election, and I'm sick and tired of it so I don't turn on my stereo except to listen to my iPod.
The worst thing about the timing is that tomorrow night we're heading to Phoenix, and that's a 400 mile drive. Definitely want my iPod for that!
