One dollar crumpled

I know this sounds like an (e:angryshortkid) inspired journal but does anyone else hate this situation? You have what appears to be a perfectly legimate $1 bill but the tasty machine refuses to accept. You try ironing it, rotating it, kicking the machine. Then you look in your pocket and every other bill is larger than a $1 - but your machine only takes $1 bills and the new "take 5" pretzel chocolate bar is laughing at you at this point. Argh.

Main Street

I decided to take main street instead of the highway as there is so much new slick snow ? sleet. It is so slow as I have hit every red light on the way to teach some PHP to digital poetics students. I hope they like it.

I met with the chair of my dept today and they are still crossing their fingers on the full-time position. It really is their last year to decide. I feel bad because the department so obviously wants a new faculty member in the program but the school keeps dodging out on the money and I can't live without health insurance forever. It is kind of getting ridiculous now as there are over 150 majors and only 2 full-time faculty members.

If it doesn't work out I will just take one of the other million and a half job offers, but I have my heart set on teaching right now.

Art, Links, and poetry

I was searching through the links to the site again and I found one from ice9 poetry

The

is in the link section. Seems like maybe it's someone from the site or someone I know but I can't place it. Then I was looking at their open mic night which is at Arte Brutale on Main St and I also haven't heard of that. So I searched it on google and came up with this person and her music

which is quite good.

Does anyone know more info about this space or these people?

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.
