Blog Updates & iPod Purchases

Blog Updates

Alright, so here’s what I did with the blog:

• Changed right-side padding on blog posts for shorter line lengths and easier reading.
• Removed post-box outline
• Added resizing text to posts for ease-of-use
• Changed lightest color to lighter in order to increase contrast and match WCAG AAA requirements.

iPod Purchases

I did it, y’all! I bought an iPod on eBay – a second generation Nano. It’s got a smaller screen than the later nanos, which I’m hoping will abate any problems with the battery expanding, as other versions of the nano frequently get screen issues when the battery expand even a little bit. I also forgot how eBay works and accidentally bought another iPod that I thought I could cancel my bid on. Oh well, guess I’ll have another rad iPod to fix up. This one is a second-gen iPod Mini (the first “smaller iPod” before the Nano came out). This guy is a beauty!!! I’m very excited. Both ‘Pods are pink, but this one is a bit chunkier, so no battery/screen issues. The seller reports that the ‘hold’ button is stuck, but I’m thinking that if I take it apart and grease it a bit I’ll be able to sort that right out. Wish me luck!
