R.I.P. iPod?

Well, my iPod went for a little swim last night.

I had a late night adventure to Cookout last night with Jill, Davis, etc. As I turned onto Kent from Western, somehow my faithful friend slid off my lap right into a cup of waterLifeguard Jill pulled it out, dripping wet. It didn’t turn on immediately, so I let it dry out last night. This morning, I got what I think is a sad Mac face, although it was a frowning picture of an iPod, and not just a sad face. Not looking good. I let it be a little longer and got a few more sad faces. Then I got just the dead battery symbol. So maybe after charging it will recover.

I must say though, I have had that iPod for three years now without one single problem. I was sure something was going to mess up, crash, go haywire — but of course it would be my own fault for its dying.
