Video Solace

So, it's been a very crappy week. The Chippewa Falls Marching Band met with a serious tragedy over the weekend and it's sent all of us into a tail spin. It's just too hard to imagine that one of your own could go down doing what we've all done a thousand times. I can't tell you how many times the HHS band bus has pulled in at 2 in the morning. Or left. Why we made it and the Cardinals didn't, I couldn't begin to answer.

So, we've got G's funeral tomorrow and with it a way to come to terms with this terrible thing that should stay on television or the movies where it belongs. I may not have known G in any close way, but it feels good to be able to pay my own respects to a man who influenced a community so much.

As a brighter spot to my day, Jennifer went and bought herself a new video iPod. That means I also have access to a video iPod and it's simply a fantastic device. We've downloaded a couple episodes of Lost and the resolution and display are incredible. I thought my PSP screen looked good, resolution wise, but this little screen packs a mean punch. And there is something super cool about being able to grab a TV show right off the internet and watch it on a little thing that fits in the palm of you hand.

Ah, technology. Anyway, sinking into the land of the Mac always makes me feel a little bit better.
