A few minutes later, my business partner and I were at In-n-Out. From what I understand, In-n-Out is owned by uber-religious people of the freedom-hating variety. But hey, they make a damned good cheezburgr.

Anyhow, I went to snap a quick picture of the cheezburgrz involved. I figure I need as much pictorial evidence as I can gather as to why I shouldn’t remain in Pennsylvania. I power on my Powershot SX100 IS and… Lens error, please restart camera. Beep beep beep. No power.

Restarting the camera several times, of course, did nothing. Upon returning to my present home away from home, I finished my fries while checking out the camera – noticed the shutters weren’t closing. Springs/whatever were fine; the shutters could be manipulated closed, but simply weren’t closed.

Gah.

The solution is simple though: Immediately after hitting the power button, smack the camera decently hard on its left side. With little luck involved, you’ll soon hear your lens making it’s normal lens-like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt sound.

I freaking love technology.
