Adventures in Geekitude

Last night, the handset of my phone fell directly on top of my computer. As a result, one of my USB ports is sadly broken. It makes things a little more difficult, since I have about 5,000 USB devices I use and only one port.

My solution, as I guess I have come to expect of myself, was to take the computer apart to fix the port.

In retrospect (okay not really retrospect; I realized this around the time I broke one of the keys on the keyboard), this was a really stupid thing to do. With a desktop PC, you break one thing, you just have to replace that. Good luck with a laptop if you break something. I should've just sucked it up and bought a $20 USB Hub or something.

But in a geeky sort of way, it was fun. Kind of like how pulling teeth is fun.
