The Misadventures of Dan
Peer into the mind of Dan as he tries to build an MP3 Player for his PDA and searches for the next thing in his life be it an electrical engineering job or graduate school.

Audio Car Crash?
My friend Dan, he sent me this-I don't know whether to cry or cringe-and yet I can't help listening to all of this. From one banana to another: Go Rice Power!! :P

Changes ruminating
Ed joined in the battle rap, he sort of "dissed" me but that's ok. For some strange reason both him and my bro think I've crowned myself king-and all I did was start the thing-oh well, the more the merrier.
I've been fooling around with trying to get some of the site changes in place, its partially because I feel uninspired to make any changes and yet I want to change it up. Particularly this CSS is really bothering me. I sort of want to be able to write a paragraph and maybe post an image right next to it but of course I don't want to use a table, but using an extra DIV tag seems sort of... wasteful. Then there's the whole graphics issue, I don't like the way the the fonts for the different heading levels are not aliased-like they really appear jagged-maybe its just me-it probably is.

D00d, you know what this means!?
So my brother and I were talking yesterday about cellphones, and somehow we got into talking about "Dude where's my car" and then we came up with this script (even though I've never seen the film before, I think I got the gist of it)
DUDE#1 (On Cellphone): Dude, I'm at the theatre-where are you?
DUDE#2 (Also On Cellphone): DUDE!!! I'm at the theatre, where are
you!
DUDE #1: I'm standing at the front entrance!
DUDE #2: Dude so am I!!
DUDE #1 (suspicious): Which way are you facing?
DUDE #2: North
DUDE #1: So am I!!!
DUDE #2: You know what this means!?
DUDE #1 (cluing in): Yeah Dude!
DUDE #2: You're invisible dude!!! I can't see you at all!!!
DUDE #1: AWESOME!! But I can't see you either-so DUDE you're invisible
too!!
DUDE #2 and DUDE #1: YES!!! I'll see you in the theatre!!
That was almost too easy...

Battlin and a rattlin
My latest Attempt:
What kind of post would this be without some technical details. Finished writing EE 483, it wasn't that bad, except for the charge sharing question. Could have done it without that, but anyways, I couldn't put any html code in edmchurch bulletin board and I really wanted to separate the two so the first thought was to create two separate posts.. but the effect would be lost. I kept on wondering until I came up with the solution-create a picture with everything formatted! I fired up Fireworks and just quickly copied and pasted. Actually I think I may like Fireworks much more than Photoshop simply because I'm more used to the Macromedia interface.

All this work for a station wagon!?
EMACS update: I have to admit its much better than notepad because of the way I use pine and pico on my shell accounts I don't need to worry about using the delete key I just keep on typing the way I normally do. The tag stuff is nice so is the syntax highlighting. I just wish there was an option to set it to default or to detect that I'm writing an xml marked document... maybe some more investigating
First of all, I came across this ad on Slashdot its really cool but I have to say this. All of that for a station wagon!?! Would I really want to buy a station wagon just because they perfected this chain of events? Umm maybe not. Maybe if the station wagon was like a batmobile in disguise or like a Gadgetmobile then maybe I would buy it. The campaign that 'it just works' doesn't exactly put me at ease. It could be me, but I want it to do more than 'just work' I want it to like make my hot chocolate, know the way to the nearest bubble tea store, figure out optimum routes due to traffic conditions, hover, and at the same time NOT, I'll repeat NOT look like a station wagon in the process. I could go down to a Jetta... maybe.
