it has been about a year since i've made a public post to this journal. i have posted some momentous things privately, like the implosion of a relationship and other ruminations, but to the outside world this has been a whistling ghost town. so, hello world. my friends page is empty, it seems like the rest have moved on. if anybody sees this ( ( Read more... )

i can't take any of my speakers! the pair i finally decided on is just too huge to fit into the car along with the rest of my stuff, and i can't very well do without clothes, so they'll have to follow me in october when my parents come up for some "why your money isn't being wasted" thing ( Read more... )

so now i have two very, very sweet bikes that I have to choose between for college. sigh ( Read more... )

welp, it's gone. moss is minus a shiny 1980 kawasaki kz750, and plus a less shiny wad of cash. i made a decent profit, but when you get down to it, money don't accelerate like that bike did. i guess it's for the best--it was totally impractical, and now i can't kill myself on it. i did give it one last thorough riding....the neighborhood will ( Read more... )

those who follow these things will know that about a year and a half ago, i dropped a zen micro on the floor of my lab. i came across its body this afternoon (after a lengthy motorcycle ride around town!) and an idea ocurred to me...replace the hd with compactflash memory! apparently it's been done, and it works, so i'm gonna do this. only ( Read more... )

it's posted. i am selling my child. oh, the misery! the wailing and gnashing and so forth! hopefully the lil bike will bring in a good price...we'll see.

it's the 1980 kawasaki kz750, if anyone's interested...eh? eh? get some wheels for college?

oddly, the most agonizing decision in the college process, possibly more so than Brandeis vs Brown, is the choice of speakers to bring to college. How can i be expected to choose between them? They are my children, and I love them all equally. the great thing, i guess, is whichever i choose, i'll some kickass three-way 100w home theater speakers ( Read more... )

well. it's been two weeks here at the cape, and only now have i realized that...lo!...there is wireless internet to be had from the picnic table outside my cottage. reception dies inside the door, but a few steps outside, i'm online. go figure ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been a comparative deluge (if two things can be considered deluginous) of high-tech toys. first a pimped-out macbook (which i'm writing this on) and a scant couple weeks later, a Cellular Telephone (658-4227). of course, the first thing i did with both was to add all sorts of cool software and features of varying legality ( Read more... )

Alas! I tried, I tried! but Podpod flashed and then disappeared forever from our world. i knew, somehow, that the plastic and aluminum beneath my screwdriver held no more sound, that the scroll wheel had adjusted its last volume level. putting it back in the black neoprene sleeve was oddly like zipping up a bodybag. morbid ( Read more... )
