i have always thought myself to be odd (not that im not) since i call screw drivers + (plus) and - (minus). everyone else calls them flat or phillips. then i find out: Hello from Japan, where Phillips and regular screwdrivers are known as "plus" and "minus." just happy im not the only one. (^_^x)

after reading this thread on AT: 4GB Microdrive $299.00 (Retail $499.00), i no longer thing the mini ipod is such a bad deal. apparently the included 4GB Hitachi MicroDrive retails for $500. buying the mini ipod merely for the 4gb microdrive is worth it alone IF you need the microdrive that is (ie compactflash for your canon digital rebel or something). andymack.com shows an interesting surgery on his Creative Nomad 4GB MuVo2 just to get the 4gb microdrive.

thanks to zultimaz for donating this video: Wongfu - Harlem. pretty funny homemade music video with a chinese song. zultimaz says they're actually students from keppel that are going to UCSD, but i dont know anyone of them. i first thought this was really their song, but i just couldn't believe a white guy would speak such good chinese. i figured it's most likely lipsynched. they also have a video on their bloopers: Wongfu - Harlem Bloopers. You might wanna also check out their other project: Wongfu - Senorita, Wongfu - Senorita Bloopers.

thanks to zultimaz for donating this video: The Man Behind the Motion. a really funny mockumentary of motion capture artists.

g'nite (^_^x)zzZZ

thanks to volfman for donating this song: Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna. i was originally introduced to this song by zultimaz which he told me was from lord of the rings. i was like kewl and it does sound like something lord of the rings would use. bu it turns it this was actually a track from Requiem for a Dream.

some of u may have noticed a new link on my menu. yep, that's right, i've decided to start a new Search Queries for my site. funny and weird search queries which were directed to my site will be posted there. enjoy! (^_^x)

thanks to draconis for donating this link: All Your Base Are Belong To Us Bumper Stickers. now u can spread the craziness by sticking this to ur car!

thanks to iroberti for donating this promo: DSLExtreme. for those that need the speed and dont mind coughing up a few extra $$$ (really, it's not that much more). but look @ the speeds! 6mbps down and 608kbps up! that's some sweet speeds!

ever wonder how radio station works? i mean if music is stored digitally on a computer, or if they have hundreds of cds and cassettes lying around? if digitally, what did they do before digital music was even popular? if still cds and cassettes, how many do they actually have lying around and how do they transition one song to another? welp, i was reading this intesting thread: How do radio stations store all their music? over @ anandtech off topic.

Children, children, children.

The answer is that some store their music only on CD, and some use CD and digital. That's what we do here.

We use scheduling software called AXS. Every song, commercial, liner, legal ID, etc has a cut number. What you hear is just a sequence of those cuts. Example:

9005/Legal ID/:08
6049/Funkadelic Psycho Chicken/4:24
7000/Bob's used cars/0:30

There are stops, continues, blanks, time syncs, skips, etc included in those numbers.

We also use CDs. Any decent studio will have at least 2 CD players to keep the music sounding fluid. We also have cart machines and even a reel. Music playlists are created using software that can seperate artists and make sure that the transitions are right (like not going from "Bark at the Moon" to "Yesterday").

Hope this helps, let me know if I can answer anything else.

Oh, we have about 1800-2000 CDs and probably on the order of 20,000 records.

i have completed the story on the dotfoto album. mktenniscap sent more pix so i might upload those in a bit too.

now im going to continue yesterday's story. so where was i, o yah we found ungsunghero's apartment complex. we were in a race against time. him to fedex and me to a restroom. we got to fedex in time before the final ground shipment was shipped out for the day. however, i didn't make it... j/k ;p. thinking of it, where did i goto the restroom. oh yah. we then went straight to the quick loopy loop tour of ucsd. i've gotta say, ucsd is way bigger than i imagined. they've just finished a 6th college and building a 7th. plus tons of constructions of new buildings, plus they all have COOL DESIGNS. chk out the geisel libary pick i took. ucsd even has their own power plant. im jealous now! stanford has their own too. berkeley needs one!!! afterwards, we went back to ungsunghero's pad and i've gotta say, that is one sweet pad. total college guy pad. tons of kewl & sexy posters, maxims everywhere, big screen tv + ps2 + xbox + dreamcast, foosball table, and the list goes on and on. it's a pimp house. the only thing missing were the girls. they must've done some really good convincing to get them to stay away the whole time horacio and i were there. so we were playing on the xbox. horacio begins unlocking stuff from dead or alive: extreme volleyball and ungsunghero keeps on saying this game actually has some good gameplay with his eyes glued to the screen. we went to TGI Fridays (where appetizers are half off after 10pm). that's when i first learnt that kuo has became a alcoholic over summer. he even paid for ungsunghero's drink so he wouldn't have to drink alone. mktenniscap dropped in later and joined in the drinking. went home and more chat and games and finally hit the sack @ 3ish. next morning, kuo went to study @ the library due to upcoming mcat. sigh... i feel sorry for all those who will be taking it this coming april. *shivers* we went to porky land for lunch. good food, large portions, cheap price. what else can u ask for? we then got the extended tour of ucsd (where we actually walked around). once again, i'm still super amazed at how big the campus is. we finally ended our trip by dining @ claim jumpers. i was still very stuffed from lunch so horacio and i splitted a entre. kuo again drank of course. he had 2 drinks (double what he had last nite). i was shocked when the bill came. this was the first time that my total was $10 or below including tax and tip. usually claim jumper = minimum of $20 for me. hehe. we ended the nite seeing 3 limos outside of in-n-out. we assumed they were coming back from their winter formal and got the late nite munchies. the hardest part of this trip was saying goodbye. *sniff* i had such a fun time.

the past 2 days were so fun!!! gotta thank ungsunghero, mktenniscap, and kuo for their great hospitality. got back @ 2:00am today. the drive took about 1hr 45mins. not bad driving 80mph most of the way. one thing i do notice was after 2hrs of 80mph, driving 30mph on local seemed like 5mph. enough about driving, lets get into the juicy details about what happened @ ungsunghero's apt. (-_^x)

welp, we left @ 2:30 instead of 1:30pm as planned on friday due to some technical difficulties such as getting gas (about $.15 cheaper here than in SD). did hit traffic, but was still going 40mph until we hit anaheim where suddenly 3 lanes become 5 + 1 carpool! hit 80mph from that pt on till la jolla... shoot, im falling asleep here. i'll continue the story tomorrow.

the fotos i took (not too many) have been uploaded, but no story as of yet. story will come later hopefully sometime tomorrow: dotphoto.

g'nite (-_-x)zzZZ
