16.5 hours until the last time I will have to set foot in a UTD classroom as an undergraduate degree seeker, and I am only about 50% finished preparing my group’s presentation for that final meeting. The next 24 hours will be quite interesting. I need to have this presentation completed by 9am, at which [...]

I hear Money Zapper’s Generation Z division is hiring, especially any of you coders out there with experience in inversion-oriented design or Sub-Panthetic systems.

Dakota Digital Camera: My inital photo comparisons
November 19th, 2003 in Potpourri and Tech. 3 CommentsHere are some pictures from our two working “one-time use” cameras. It’s obvious that quality varies from unit to unit. One camera provides a fairly clear image at certain distances, but the other contains some sort of artifact or imperfection in the lens or sensor, giving all of the images a strange lattice texture.

Afterward, we were tired but decided to show up at our friend Troy’s show in Ellum. Great band. When we finally got home, B zonked [...]
First you take a monkey, and then you take a midget

I was quite torn during Cordelane’s set because Honchie was right next door, and they put on an endlessly entertaining performance. I kept popping back and forth. However, we’re playing with the same two acts next weekend in Denton, so I’ll be able to offer them [...]
Semi-amusing means to a not-at-all displeasing end
November 12th, 2003 in Potpourri and Tech. 7 CommentsThe shots aren’t great, as my beloved made clear, but the picture quality, while far from amazing, is not at all as bad as I had thought. All of these pictures were either snapped accidentally or from the hip the day we first took apart the Dakota Digital “One-Time-Use” camera.
I’ll put them in my gallery, [...]
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own

I was just thinking about these four cameras in various states of destruction I had lying around the house yesterday. Now I need to find a decent connector for the one that’s still intact.
I went to the mandatory TWC orientation meeting today. I didn’t learn anything new, except that they have a workshop next week on starting a small business. It’s probably not all that, but I’m thinking of going.
Last night I got a lot of my dualboot frustrations sorted out, but Firebird is being a whore in [...]
