Sometimes You Feel the Pain of Inanimate Things

Damage to my Nikon D70 DSLR, 19 april 2007

Click the above image to see the damage that has mysteriously appeared on my Nikon D-70 SLR camera. There’s a noticeable crack in the screen that protects the display, but it and the camera seem to work all right nonetheless.

I guess they’re bound to get hits and bumps here and there, but it still is unfortunate. I guess there’s no choice but to take it to a Nikon dealer and ask them what exorbitant price they charge for replacing the part. I just wouldn’t have the time for this kind of thing right now.

What is it with stuff breaking lately?

    A couple of years ago I realised that most of our home appliances were a decade old, so it was just a matter of time until things started breaking down, probably inside a year or so. So far the only thing that’s required renewal was the laundry machine – or what those things are actually called?

    Anyways, bracing for financial impact.

    Washing machine.

    The thing is, this puppy is barely 2 years old and has seen relatively little use. The moment you don’t pay attention to it, you find it’s taken damage.
