Some old pictures and stuff
So I have a camera, sometimes I use it(not often anymore). Here are some random pictures I put in an album. If anyone wants hi-res copies just shoot me an email.

Futureshop Extended Warranties
Future shop can eat my foot sweat!
I bought an ipod 60gig video from FS a little bit over a year ago; after spending 500$ on the mp3 player I decided to pickup the FS extended warranty that was being pushed on me by some poor sales rep who was clearly forced to pitch the plan without knowing a damn thing about it. An extra80$
Anyway to make a long story short I dropped it and broke the LCD screen.
"DONT WORRY I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY" I thought to myself. So i take it in, they send it off and a few days later i get a call informing me it will cost 280$ to repair my ipod. Also they would not fix any of the other problems with the ipod (not charging or being recognized by a computer) because there was "physical" damage.
So I look at the extended warranty policies online to find IPOD warrantys are absolute garbage. Essentially all the FS warranty covers is replacing the fucking battery or reinstalling the firmware(both of which any mammal with opposing thumbs can easily do themselves). Any "physical" damage voids the warranty. LOOOOOL!!!
The best part about the 2 year warranty for which I thought I had payed for was it was actually only 1 year. They sell you on just coming into any FS location and dropping off your nameless damaged goods and they will fix it. Turns out not if its currently under the manufacturers warranty then u have to deal with the company yourself because they are too lazy. So after the one year manufacturers warranty ran out I was safely under the FS warranty.
So anyway,if i want to repair my ipod (500$ + 80$ FS warranty) it will cost me a grand total of 280$ on top of the 580 at purchase. If i don't want to pay they have kindly volunteered to mail it back to my nearest FS location (broken).
FUCK YOU FUTURESHOP!
(Please do not point out as a responsible consumer it was my responsibility to read the fine print in the warranty agreement or that i should have had a 500$ piece of electronics in a protective case. My point is about the crappy warranty not my irresponsibility)
