Help The Prids

2008 July 22

I received the following news from Chriso:

Our dear friends The Prids - David, Mistina, Joey and Maile - and two of their significant others - Kristin and Chris - were in a serious accident early Sunday evening while en route to Los Angeles on tour. A tire blew and they lost control of the van and it rolled several times. David was airlifted from the scene of the crash, he suffered a broken collar bone, broken ribs and has 6 staples in his head. Chris broke his arm in two places. Maile has a broken vertebra and toe and a severe cut with stitches on her knee. Joey broke ribs, Mistina suffered a concussion, and Kristin has a snapped joint in her collar bone.

As of late that night, everyone had been released from the hospital but David had to go back in the middle of the night and was released Monday afternoon. Maile is currently back in the emergency room.The rest are currently staying at a hotel in Fresno waiting to go home with their friends, Marshal and Kiisu, that drove down from Portland with a cooler full of vegan food donated by Food Fight (Portland).

A special paypal account has been set up to help out and donate directly to The Prids. They need help getting home and paying their hospital bills. If you can't help out monetarily, please repost this info on your blogs, etc. They could also use lots of vegan food and comfy cushions/pillows/bedding for their long ride home to Portland. Thanks!

You can learn more about the accident on Portland Independent Media Center. Please make a donation today, any amount helps.

If you have problems with the link, you can send a donation directly to donate@theprids.com.

No one, and I mean no one, wants to hear your grunting. Ever.

I got an iPhone. Now what?

2008 July 13

What’s stupid:

  1. I asked the Apple Store kid if I could use my iTunes library at home and office on my iPhone. He said yes. Kid lied.
  2. I can’t use MP3 files as ringtones: I either have to accept the ringtones that came with my iPhone – “marimba” sounded like a toy box, I can’t take that seriously – purchase new ones for $2 on iTunes music store, or purchase software that converts my music files. Why can’t I just use MP3 files?
  3. I can’t send a friend a text message with a photo attachment, I can only e-mail photos. Who came up with this?
  4. How do I empty my browser cache and clear my history?
  5. I have Bluetooth but my computer can’t browse my device.
  6. If I allow the iPhone to join my home Wi-Fi, my computer loses half its access.
