This week on a supersized Bleep Bloop, Pat and I try to fix my broken Xbox 360 with a $10 repair kit we ordered off eBay.

Behind the Bloop - The idea for this episode came from Twitter. When my 360 broke a few weeks ago, I made a joke about it with my @BleepBloopJeff account (I would later shamelessly reuse that joke in the episode). Someone (whose account seems to no longer exist) suggested I check out eBay repair kits, which I had never heard of. I asked my Twitter followers if anyone else had used these, and several people reported succcess. I love tinkering, and immediately thought Pat and I attempting to repair the Xbox could be a lot of fun.

This is one of the first really positive experiences I’ve had with Twitter. Ironically, the story is too long to tweet.
