THW comes through, Wii is in the hizz-ouse!
December 20th, 2006
In 1984, my mom woke me up early Christmas morning. Sitting next to my bed was the unopened box of an Apple //c computer and monitor. My uncle owned one of those, and I'd spent time at his house hacking with it. He'd once promised he'd bring it over to my house so I could have more time with it.

iPod Shuffle Unboxing
December 1st, 2006
Apple employees were lucky enough to get a free second generation iPod shuffle; I picked mine up yesterday, and instead of tearing into it as I otherwise would, I decided to do an "unboxing"; I took a few pictures as I took the shuffle out of its case.
