Water and technology do not blend well.

I recently took a long, steamy hot shower, while my Gadget Pants hung on a hook on the wall. This hasn’t been a problem before. However, this shower must have been extra steamy, for all did not go well. My phone got a steamy display for an hour but that went away, the DS didn’t even notice, but my PSP… My beautiful original Japan-imported 1.5 firmware PSP, which gave me heaps of coding fun and a trip to Amsterdam, gave up the ghost. The screen has blotches all over it, the D-pad presses right all the time, the memory stick slot has corroded and won’t read anything properly, the UMD reader won’t spin, and the whole thing freezes randomly, which could be the result of any of the former or of yet another broken component inside it. In other words, it’s broken beyond repair. This is a sad, sad day.
