So I'm in the back yesterday getting something out of the cage or something - I don't remember exactly what I was doing - and Andrew, our new manager, asks me if I've ever considered becoming a Manager...and legs are all messed up right now from spending 4 hours moving planogrammed merchandise 4-8 feet down the wall and putting it back. Really inspires me to make RadioShack my career people. Seriously
okay, so today is great, for a few reasons, none of which are "i went to the dentist". the mother of all impulse buys. so far in my life: it's called the casio ex-s10 exilim. and it's as if coldplay...faaaarrr to many questions. and i don't mean to brag or anything, so i'm going to end this. but there's a car-themed blog coming, probably here, probably not on my blogspot. if you're interested.
work is boring. luckily there's a "demo" computer that doesn't have all the blocker stuff on it that i can update lj from. lololol. it's full of internet. shitty vista acer (with a celeron inside, lol), but hey, internet is internet. i like my coworkers. they're kind of annoying but still cool. :3 they let me update lj, so it can't be all that bad, ne?
lol, my radio shack boss admitted to liking sluts. new tag for radio shack! also lets me use lj at work sometimes. yey ~ also, new icon! :D onorata is going well, i'm a fan. so far kris has... . there's an mvk and a miles there and we'll see how it goes. the miles sounds interesting but i'm still thinking about the mvk. it's because i'm used to prof's tldr. :3 three hours to go..
My newest fascination has been circuit bending. I discovered this artform last week and I have been consuming most of my time exploring the wonderful world of circuitry. Basically the idea is to take...some cool links Ive come across in my travels on the internet. What is circuit bending?

Radio Shack PRO-84 Scanner for $30. This is a more recent version of the PRO-83 that I've mentioned extensively on this blog. As the decline accelerates and the mass media becomes even more of an establishment mouthpiece, you will need alternative means of news collection. Police scanners are one of the more effective means of doing so.
It's a very good Friday tonight on the Event Horizon. I have just discovered that Sobe Power mixes very well with Elijah Craig. My co-pilots this evening are none other than Alice Cooper, complements...buy a couple. Word on the street says the TX voltage levels are a little on the low side for some TTL devices, but as a means of receiving TTL serial data on an RS-232 port it should work just fine
I recently found a summary sheet that I used to help program my TRS-80 in assembly language. about 25 years ago. Here's a link to a picture of it on deviantART: Artifact from TRS-80 Someone suggested that I offer it to a museum. I wonder if any LJ folk know of somewhere that would find it interesting. - Bill
