Wow.

Update on the iPOD. There were some corrupt mp3’s that whever I tired to upload them to the iPOD they would make it crash. I timed the time it took for the iPOD to drain battery just playing songs and not plugged in. The result was 3 hours 36 minutes give or take 5 minutes.

I don’t think its worth refurbishing at this point. It does its job sufficiently, at least enough to keep me from paying the 60 or so dollar fee.

Wow. You know what this is? A plug suit. A plug suit is a suit worn by the pilots in Neon Genesis Evangelion which is an animated series about kids who pilot these giant robots (what else?) to save the world, sort of.

Below is an illustration from the Neon Genesis website.

Boing Boing sites Warren Ellis who in turn points to Cnet. 

Apparently if you can imagine it, it can become a reality.
