Technology hates me

Any and every piece of technology around me seems to be broken these days:

- my iPod either doesn't show up, freezes my machine, or hangs itself whenever I plug it into either my laptop or work machine.

- my video camera only updates half of the screen in a weird stripe pattern (no, not because of interlacing), and I don't know why

- my digital camera's batteries charge and say they will last 80 minutes, and then last approximately 5

- gdb was giving me fits, but it seems to be a little better

I think I must give off a special type of electromagnetic wave that causes all of this. If only I could make it stop...
