I’ve mended something again! Also, unexpected uses for a potholder.

As I mentioned about a month ago, my PS3 stopped reading discs.  This was vexing for a couple of reasons, but primarily because it was a launch 60GB PS3 with PS2 backwards compatibility. Sony wants $150 to fix these, and … Continue reading
