Some things belong in a physical journal, or at least in a blog attached to an email that has zip to do with my name.

I'm going to re-haul this little domain, but keep the old-old posts that are innocuous, since some of my ITLS stuff might be of greater interest to the world than other things, and other posts are just... why try porting, with the pictures?  Suddenly those text-only blogs were the best blogs.  haha.

Superwomen and the "fix him" myth

I don't know what came first, but "Honey I'm good" by the Grammar fellow is cute, it's refreshing.  Other songs are jumping on the faithfulness wagon, but they list their reasons in a creepy way.  It focuses on "she's supportive and sexy!"  which, okay, if my bf wasn't BOTH of those things, he would not be my BF.  I'm a lady-dick like that.  I guess my disquiet is in the emphasis of their domestic skills and sexiness, and not about what the male counterpart contributes (besides being so swell as to not fuck others behind her back.)  Sure, it's one song, it's short, what all can they say?  Glitter and glory and sexy aren't strange topics of pop songs.    But it just seems like a subtle poison.  "I won't stray, cuz you a 10 and do the dirty things for me."  wait-what? Exhibit 1) David Guetta "Hey Mama" "Yes I do the cleaning, yes I do the cooking" in the same song as "Yes I"ll be what

An Adventure with  Lanetta Sova!!!  The Deal: I take care of the Scratch Coding, Lanetta master-minds the controls. connected wires ready for class behold the makey makey! We had challenges with just being creative.  [We were both busy over the weekend and didn't want to commit to anything ridiculous.]  When we originally presented our idea, [things went well, then some over-achiever inspired our instructors to tell us...] we needed to be more creative. [I'm a little glad, cuz Lanetta's idea was cool.]  Our final project idea ended up being to have a pong game that required team work and the controllers being water. The two players must hold hands and race from one end of the table to the other to move the paddles. (Only one player is holding directly to ground, the second player is holding ground by holding hands with player one.)  [I originally thought this would be something to  sabotage  people with, like yank them from their button.  FYI: Left the o

Errors in Touch Capacitive Project...

I knotted up the + LED and LilyPad port connections before class. All of my leds turned on, and are sitting there, on.  :/  my program is so simple, it is flawless!  (apparently not.)  But I know that, last week, with one alligator clip, I totes got different readings on my lovely, crunch sensors (they are inside the sleeves). maybe it is a mis-sew on my circuit. that could be a problem later. Straightened it out, still solid LEDs. In case things were touching that ought not to be, I put on my sweater.  The only times the lights go OFF is when they are pressed on the foil beneath them.  As discovered by my curious work partner.  Pressed...  hmmmm.  Well, never mind that now!   *POP* across my shoulders.  well, that's not good.  I ripped my left sleeve line trying to stretch it out to tighten, just in case that first pop wasn't a rip.  They sounded similar.  LED's still on. I updated my sketch/program to turn the leds off no matter WHAT the level of the
