What comes after third gear?

Overdrive! So far, I'm liking this nearly as much as I despised the old downloadable audiobooks service. I was able to download a title and transfer it to my mp3 player, which I never was able to accomplish with the old service. Title selection looks pretty darn good, too, so thank you selection committee.

In other news-- you know those flash drives that the library magnanimously provided to us? I use mine all the time, and really love being able to carry files from work to home so easily. So... I ran over mine. With my car.

No, it wasn't on purpose, though if I'd downloaded that latest message from HR about summer hours onto it, I would have been sorely tempted.

Here's the thing-- it still works! No damage at all. Who knew SanDisk was a subsidiary of Timex? (If you're under 35, you won't get that joke. Don't worry about it.)
