In December I wrote about how I was too fumble-fingered to replace my battery in my iPod mini with the kit I bought from iPodJuice.com. The company president, who obviously runs a Web scanner for his firm’s name, offered to do the replacement for free, but as a good ethical journalist I eventually decided to pay the full price, which isn’t much: $19, on top of the kit. So for about fifty bucks (I forget how much the battery was, and they look like they’ve changed their prices) I have my old iPod mini back in working order! 4 gig of songs - who needs more than that?

I’m still ethically challenged, though. The company (apparently realizing I was this blogger) included a very nifty manicure kit when they returned my iPod. Perhaps they think that if I clipped my nails more often, I wouldn’t be so fumble-fingered.
