Near the very end of September 2011 I purchased an Alesis IO Dock, an audio interface promising to fulfill all my needs for iPad-based live music performance. In fact, 95% of the reason I purchased an iPad2 was due to the release of this highly-anticipated new product. Shortly after my new IO Dock & iPad arrived, iOS5 was released, so I updated--a decision I regret ever since. Little did I know that the IO Dock is not at all compatible with iOS5 on the iPad2, a fact that likely surprised even Alesis.
The Problem
The problem is simple enough to explain. When using a music application (e.g. Garageband) on an iOS5 iPad2, a cacophonous hiss will enter the audio stream during use. It often

Do something about losing your hair.
If you're losing your hair, then do 1 of 3 things:
- Shave your head. Or at least crop your hair short.
- Take hair meds like Propecia.
- Get a hair transplant. And go to a good place. Don't
go to a place that's gonna make your head look like a pasta strainer.
Lose weight.
If you're American, there's a 34% chance you're over-weight. Stop eating so much and get some exercise, fatty. A slim, healthy body is way more awesome than a pudgy, nasty one.
Stand up straight.
Your mother was right in telling you not to slouch. The hunchback look is

In high school you've got jocks, geeks, stoners, prom queens, fat kids, and so on and so forth. The working world is no different. You've got "Chads" (the good-looking hot shots that always get their way), geeks (IT dept.), lazy overweight managers (the fat kids grown up), office queens (the hotties everyone wants to bang), pranksters, gossips, and so on and so forth.
What am I, you ask?
Why, I'm the Office Farter. It's a pleasure to meet you.
My body (more specifically, my ass) has the unfortunate characteristic of spewing gas every minute of every day of my existence. I think my ass has an extra set of lungs and/or a rocket propulsion system. As 8~9 hours of my day are spent at work, this adds up to a significant volatile volume. Over the years I've gotten quite good at soundless issuance. I have over a 98% silent emission system.

The Cotton Candy Machine
I once beheld a home cotton candy machine for sale in a catalog specializing mostly in useless, single-purpose home appliances. I just had to have it. This purchase would change my entire life--friends would flock to my lively cotton candy parties, and princess-like model-esque girls would swoon at the sugary goodness served by yours truly.
My ultimate goal was to put my arm into the machine and encase it in cotton candy. Unknown at the time was the

The Pekkle Pager Case
Like I said I just had to be different. I still had a pager while most were already converting to cell phones. My pager was encased in a bright blue nylon Sanrio "Pekkle" pager case [Pekkle was Sanrio's duck character counterpart to Hello Kitty]. It was quite an odd sight for an 18 year-old guy. I think those that saw it (including my family) questioned my sexual orientation.
Facial Hair
Like every boy in 1995, I tried to grow a goatee. But in my case I didn't quite have the hormones for it. The beyond-platinum blond hair above my upper lip refused to
