I hate sony. I should have realized this after (e:terry) ' s mp3 player and how much proprietary crap that we had to deal with. that mp3 player lives in the trash now. Luckily, the vaio will not suffer a similar fate but it is annoying that I can't use half the features like the function key shortcuts for brightness and sound, the wireless internet, the ethernet, etc. I am busy searching for drivers but it is such a pain and I have very little time right now. Next time I am going to forego style and comfort for something less proprietary. Maybe I will change my mind as the week goes on.

At this point I have the graphics card and the sound running. I completely formatted the driver to start again from scratch. Ok, time to install linux.

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?

I have another meeting and being sick makes it even worse.

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

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.
