So my laptop died yesterday. I mean really died, like it's not getting power anymore Now, I'm a pretty big nerd and I don't think in the last 10 years I've ever been confronted with a problem I can't fix.

Well, this is a pretty major operation and I just didn't feel comfortable ripping out a laptop motherboard and working on it, so I grudgingly took it to my local computer fix-it shop. Of course I was greeted rather unemotionally by the condescending nerd guy. It was a rather odd switch because usually I am the condescending nerd guy.

Anyway, 130 bucks and it will take them 4 days to complete my 3 hour repair job.

I'm still pretty bummed, but this helped.
