new battery

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2005.04.01

A couple of weeks ago, after discovering my minidisc player in among the old camera gear I no longer use, I decided to order a new battery. The old NiMH battery would take hours to charge, and would never last an hour. The new one, a fancy Lithium-Polymer bit of modern technology, promises to reverse those charge/playback times.

Today it arrived. Now I can rejoin those annoying millions that walk around with headphones on, ignoring society and the world.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
