Arrrghhh - Is My iPod Mini Out of Commission?

The last few times I’ve tried to update my iPod with iTunes I’ve gotten the following error.

Homestar Runner - Comedy On the Loose

Yesterday morning I’m dropping off my wife and kids at the front door of the church and the car in front of me, driven by my friend Jeremy, has a Homestar Runner bumper sticker on it. I had actually forgotten about the website, but it may be one of my favorite comedy/humor sites on […]
