I'm a columnist and blogger for Military Spouse magazine. I'm a Navy husband, a dad, and an aspiring novelist.
This is my personal blog. If it sounds too quiet around here, it's probably because I have no energy for writing because I'm engaged in that all-consuming endeavor called Parenting. I'll post when I have something to say, or when I find a stray bit of creative energy, or when Sean heads off to school.
If you have a question about being a male military spouse or about my writing, you can post it here or e-mail me.
My iPod has turned into nothing more than a very expensive paperweight that displays
My multiple attempts to restore it using iTunes failed yesterday, and windows will just barely admit that the iPod even exists. It only shows up as being connected about 25% of the time, and when it does, Windows won’t format it. If it’s connected, Windows won’t shutdown or boot.
I’ve tried connecting it to both computers, and I’ve reinstalled iTunes. Nothing works. It is bricked.

I’ve had that happen before. There is no one way to fix it. Sometimes resetting it using the ole toggle the lock switch and pressing menu and play together about 5 times works. Other times if you just let it sit for a few days, it will miraculously start working again with no explanation. I think letting the battery completely drain has something to do with it. If its still under warranty you can take it to the Apple store to the “genius bar” and they can fix it. Sometimes fixing it just involves giving you a new one.
