A good start...

So, my iPod was accidentally dropped in the toilet recently and my cell phone has seen better days. I thought about replacing both with this.

Instead I'm not replacing anything in the future, separating wants from needs.

Things are made to break and sometimes we can't afford to be a part of that system. The system is WHACK, let's fight it.
