Went to the Vanderbilt Planetarium tonight. Saw the Pink Floyd, The Wall, laser light show.. It was really impressive. I wondered what it would be like and was awed by the complexity of some of the graphics generated by the lasers. It’s incredible to think that we have the technology to move a beam of light around a path repeatedly and so quickly that the eye translates it as a solid image.
Too cool!

Interesting occurrance today.
This morning, for some reason, my Amateur Radio licence was on my mind. I remembered as I was leaving the house that I wanted to check and see if it was time to renew my license. When I got to work, I even asked my friend Dave, if he sees me online, to remind me about it.
So, I get home. Take in the mail and you wouldn’t believe that I actually had a reminder letter regarding my license renewal. Pretty weird, eh? Cosmic Forces are in tune with me. I should have asked Dave to remind me to look into becoming a billionaire or something 🙂
The day started when I woke up. Surprisingly, I actually felt refreshed… As if I had gotten a full nights sleep. So I got up and headed to work. Grabbed breakfast at the usual Bagle Place (They know my order there when I walk in… Ham, Egg and Cheese on a Roll with Coffee and one of those tiny containers of OJ).
When I got to work, we were asked to volunteer to take the day off because we were above our quota for payroll. Seeing as I hate the job and most of my critical work was done, I volunteered and left. I headed home eager to take the A+ exam (See my earlier post!)… I met my mother for lunch and then headed out to a Technology Open House… Turned out to be with a recruiter, however she had opportunities with two big companies. One that I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to work for but have been unsuccessful so far. I’m hoping to get a call tomorrow… Wish me luck!
In the evening my mother and I went to Borders to pick up the new A+ guide so I can refresh on the new materials prior to taking the test. I was pleasantly surprised to find a $1 clearance table LOADED with computer books including some on ASP.NET, XML, and WAP….. All stuff I’ve worked with but don’t really own any reference materials on… so $60 got me 7 books… .normally valued around $300 or more.
Finished the night watching TiVo (Yay the TV works) and playing on There.com …. There is a cool VR/3D environment that offers games, puzzles, chat, etc… Similar to Virtual Places I guess only with better graphics.
Anyways, I’m tired now and gonna get some sleeeeeeeeeeep 🙂 g’night
Okay. I recieved a big screen (51″ I think) from a friend of mine who “didnt have room for it” anymore…. He got it free from some rich family that wanted a new one because one of the tuners (this is one of those tvs with PIP) died. he had the secondary tuner hooked up as the primary and it worked great! Well, I had it and the inputs all started to die… The picture got all messed up and fuzzy. Looked like an old TV does when you adjust the VHOLD.
Anyways, Tonight it mysteriously started working again. The picture is clear, bright and wonderfull 🙂 It’s been a good day….
