JVC KD-G200 Car Stereo Innards

"Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies, All you want's one more Saturday."

Looking like some sort of evil bread slice robot, my car stereo had a fatal case of indigestion while playing the latest Shins CD.

Obviously I had to take it apart completely to retrieve the disc.

Great Expectations

Spotted on a minivan this weekend: "We are ashamed of our LTHS 'B' student"

Some background: LTHS is a local high school, it is huge, and it has a diverse but generally upper middle class population.

I have seen plenty of bumper stickers bragging about a student being on the honor roll. And then of course there is the variation: "My kid beat up your honor roll student". But this is the first time I have seen one quite like this. (What makes it even more amusing in a sad way is that where I work, most parents would be more than content with their child being a 'B' student.)

Nothing like a little pressure to be amongst the best in a school with 3700 students.
