Current Mood:  gratefulThe in-laws are leaving right now, should be just getting in the air, and I thought I would update you on the awesomeness that was our time with them. ( FOOD, FOOD, and MORE FOOD ) ( Fun stuff to do in Minneapolis ) ( uncomfortable conversations ) Well, I have to say, I wasn’t looking forward to them [...]

Current Mood:  excitedWell, there is a cat that I can let out of the bag now, that I’m pretty happy to finally talk about. ( Promotions ) ( Tech nerd stuff ) I think that is about it…If I remember something else I’ll post about it.

Current Mood: StonedI’m about to leave work, and I’m high as a kite. They freaking lacqured (sp?) something in another room and it has been stinking the place up for an hour and a half.

So, my awesomeness has been validated by more then just my fiance…that is always good. Also, my mind bullet ability is now confirmed….beware my power….beware. I figure that maybe if I can get the mind bullet powers a little more refined I could be a one man wrecking machine on the team searching for Bin [...]

Modern Male: Loyalty

Comments off

Well, here it is….T-minus 2 hours to the comedic movie of the retardation (at least for the moment) and we are preparing in true male fashion. I just ate my fill of good red meat, and fries….and I’m currently drinking a beer. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is playing on the DVD machine, and [...]

Well, I just finished a test, and I think it went well. I didn’t study my transistors very well before this class and it only had two problems on it and one was a transistor problem. If you don’t know anything about MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) transistors, they can be in three regions of operation: cut-off, linear/triode, [...]
