Why Does Technology Hate Me?

I’m getting a complex about this….

I’ve been absent from blogging because of the following events:

My 500 GIG EHD bit the dust (incidentally had ALL of my personal design files as well as my scrapping, photos, commercial use purchases, etc.).  I had backed most of it up, but there were some things from the last few months that had not been.  I have to say that with the exception of one shop (who never answered my support emails) EVERY shop I approached about re-downloading the past few months purchases were gracious enough to allow it.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart!  (Incidentally I have been burning those items and any new projects/purchases to DVD like a fiend!).

My XM radio died.  Yes, I have a satellite radio..and while some would think it is a luxury, I am enough of a nut about music that it’s essential to my daily productivity.  I can get the Red Sox games on there no matter where I am, and I can channel surf to my hearts content.  I was able to purchase another one of the same model through one of Amazon’s resellers, but it too was defective (got super duper hot in the cradle and the boombox - burned my hand!), so it’s gone back.  As soon as the re-seller logs my return in, then a new RoadyXT will get shipped out to me.  Until then, I can listen online - but it’s limited as to the channel selection.  The catch here is to get the same model I previously owned; otherwise all of the accessories I have are no good.

I THOUGHT my radar detector had died too…and by that point I was losing my mind!  But, as it turns out, the outlet strip I have in my car (that it’s plugged into) died, so the detector is O.K. :)

These things have made my mojo muse super pissed off and it was almost impossible to be creative in anyway.  As I recovered files and found some stuff backed up, I was less and less tense and got my bum in gear.  Hence the grab bag that is on sale at PDW now through July 21st, for $3.00.

I had teasers on the original ad that went out, but I figure I’ll be fair to my loyal blog readers and give you the revealed preview WITH the coupon that’s stashed inside one of the zips :)

And here’s the coupon for you!
