Apple recalls 1.8 million laptop batteries

August 24th, 2006 § 9 comments § permalink

The Apple recall involves 1.8 million Sony batteries used in 12-inch iBooks and 15-inch PowerBooks sold between October 2003 and August 2006, according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission statement.

Shite.  Mine's a 17" Powerbook, so does that mean I'm safe?

Glancing at my calendar, I've realized that just this week I've had appointments with 1 psychiatrist and 2 therapists.

Maybe I'll throw a psychic in there for good measure.

Shake and Bake!

This is what happens when your niece lives in Florida.  Or North Carolina.  Or Alabama.  You get the picture.

All she's missing is a can of High Life.

Shake and bake!

Thanks to Airtran's fabulous two-day sale with practically no date restrictions, I've got myself some super cheap round-trip tickets to both Orlando to see the family as well as Palm Beach to see my dear friend Sus for some beaching, sunning, and drinking. 

So excited!
