You've Got to be Kidding
I received a post card in the mail while out of town. The front of it says "Apple First Generation iPod nano Class Action Settlement." On the back, amongst other fine print, it says "To be eligible for payment from the Fund, you must have experienced scratching of your iPod nano that impaired your use or enjoyment of it."
Seriously? I mean, really? Who in the world came up with the idea suing Apple because their beloved iPod was scratched? I want to meet the person who got fired up enough about a scratched iPod to file an actual lawsuit. I want to be so lucky to have that as my biggest problem in life.
So, how much money am I eligible for? Well, if my iPod nano was scratched and my enjoyment of it was impaired and it was sold to me without a slip case, I may receive a whopping $25. If I was so unfortunate to have a scratched iPod but received a slip case for it, I may be entitled to $15.
Amount requested by Plaintiff's Counsel for attorneys fees - $4.5 million dollars, along with up to $200,000 of litigation expenses. Humph. I'm speechless.

My Favorite Pic of My Boy
This was taken a few weeks ago. I got him to smile by throwing a toy at him and taking the pic at the same time. He always smiles, but when he sees the red eye reducer on my camera he quits smiling and starts squinting his eyes.Haven't had time for any updates lately...All my spare computer time has been working as I get ready for a week long conference in Dallas. Then Chris, Hudson and I all came down with a nasty stomach bug two days ago. Luckily, Hudson was least affected. We're all slowly recovering.
