I went to slashdot this early morning to notice the next suit in the many attacks that the MPAA is posing against Bit Torrent. Lokitorrent.com has been sued by the MPAA for copyright infridgement for hosting and tracking bit torrent files. A good note to everyone, Loki torrent is fighting the MPAA!
The MPAA needs [...]

I finally got my last grade today. My “Professor” sent out an email with our grades this morning. He’s really a graduate student but the prof who taught the course for the past 17 years retired. Benson wasn’t given access to post grades on wolverine access and it took a bit longer. I was afraid [...]

I left Chie and Noa at 12:30am, got on the subway and arrived at Grand Central about 45 minutes before the next train was scheduled to leave. I settled myself down in a cozy corner, hung out until the train arrived. When it finally did pull into Grand Central I got up with the rest [...]

This makes me happy:

This makes me sad and really really bitter:

Solution: Move to California!

So I’ve spent the past several days working on my EECS 452 (Digital Signal Processing Design Lab) project. Grace, Paul, Pete, Adam and I were designing a Voice-Operated TV Remote Control (which we called VOCK - “Don’t VOCK with us” was our slogan). Anyways, everything seemed to be coming along all nice and well until [...]

If you didn’t know my computer died last week or two ago. My boss at Westport Resources was kind enough to buy me a new cpu, motherboard and ram (because I think that’s what died). I owe him 8 hours of work for it. Anyways, I finally got to FedEx and picked up the parts [...]

So yesterday was HKN initiations, election and banquet. For those of you who don’t know, HKN (Eta Kappa Nu) is the Electrical Engineering Computer Science (EECS) Honor Society here at Michigan. Surprisingly the initiations went very quickly and we had a while to kill before elections. I have wanted to be President for 3 semesters [...]
