Radio Shack

This is what $38.00 looks like when you convert it into resistors, capacitors, phototransisters, LEDs, speakers, wire, and perfboard.

My new shoes

I decided it was necessary to leave class early as I am so sick. I am going to stop at radioshack to buy my potentiometer and a capacitor.

I overheard people in class talking about this supercool guy, turns out it was jesse. They were amazed at how he etched his web address on his circuit board. The whole circuit thing is crazy, sems like a lot of toxic waste. Today the teacher said not to inhale the puffs of lead smoke coming out of our work, but we wern't really taking any safety precautions.

Having a cold

I am so sick but I have to go to school today which sucks even more. Everyone around me is bound to get sick but I really can't miss class as we have a test on thursday. Ironically, my first quiz in grad school after 3 years.

Then tonight I have to go teach at 6. 3 hours of talking with a sore throat seems like a bad idea.

New addition

I was working on today's new addition to the site, which I will be realeasing shortly when I got this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

I have a feeling that the error was not intended for an english speaker. after looking it up on google with the word hebrew (GOOGLE - T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM hebrew) I found the answer.

Sickness

I am sick. I have a sore throat. It is what I get for being one of those stupid people that pretend that 40 degrees in Buffalo means it is warm out. I went out with (e:lilho) and decided to eat a banana split in the park with no jacket on.

Luckily, she came by this morning and made breakfast. Nick you are very lucky.

I found the sidekick

Wow Maya 6.5 is way faster than Maya 6. I can't wait to get my copy this coming week. Without my kick I feel like I missed out on so much today. I went to say goodbye to (e:southernyankee) and then went shoe shopping for about an hour with (e:lilho) in celebration of tax free clothing week. It was exciting to get a nice pair of shoes for about $40.00. I still can't find a pair of sneakers I like. This problem is going on 4 years. I used to really love my sneakers. (e:lilho) got to eat her first banana split at Condrell's in Kenmore. We decided to eat it outside which turned out to be really cold and messy.

What is up with shoe sizes. Does anyone else understand what they really mean. Today I foudn that in Born brans I take an 11 1/2 while in New Balance I take a 12 and in Adidas I take a 13. Why can't shoe sizes be standardized like everything else. I jut don't get it.

Here is the big test of my new 3d system

Well you should be seeing a 3d mushroom with a texture loaded in from a separate site. If not you should see a link taking you to a page where you can get the plugin. Hopefully it works.

MSG Monosodium Glutamate

Has anybody else wondered about the history of MSG. This is copied directly from here

Discovery of Glutamate
The first steps in the discovery of MSG took place at Tokyo Imperial University in 1907. Professor Kikunae Ikeda noted "There is a taste which is common to asparagus, tomatoes, cheese and meat, but which is not one of the four well-known tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty."

He started experimental work on Kombu Seaweed, another source in which he found the taste was present. He succeeded in extracting crystals of Glutamic Acid, 100 grams of Kombu Seaweed containing around 1 gram of Glutamate. He noted that the Glutamate had a distinctive taste, different from Sweet, Sour, Bitter and Salty, he gave this taste the name "umami".
