Oh man, looks like I might be handing over all my money to Apple once again. The ol’ 10 gig iPod with the broken screen and faulty buttons might get relegated to external hard drive duties. I’m not sure how much I would use the video feature, but the idea that I could have all […]

After about three or so years of flip-flopping about buzzing my head I decided to do it with the advice and consent of the fine folks at the Aveda Institute.
