It is important to exercise restraint when using eBay. I have succeeded thus far; but I may buy some LEDs from Hong Kong.

I went kiting on Tuesday. It was warm and amaizngly fun. I really don’t like my winder though. I need to get one of those discontinued SkyReels. I’ve really been in to hard-to-get items lately. my current winder , is like, hard to use, and i’ve gotten hurt using it– just bad, though it was fun to buy at that kite shop in Oak Park.

It was super windy on Tuesday and I let the kite pull me on my bike– and that was quite awesome. I desparately want to try it on a paved surface though, because on the grass it was kinda bumpy, and I had to avoid trees. Maybe Assembly Hall parking lot next time?

But the experience was not without incident. My kite was in the sky, and it was super windy, and I had to go eat dinner then go to CS273 HBS, but i could not reel it in. It was impossible to get back in–however hard I tried. It took like an hour, and I ended up using my bike for leverage. I ended up eating dinner late and missing the HBS. suk. I need to plan for this in the future, or get a mega efficient reel–and more string, because lots of kite string is fun.

Today I got a call from Stephanie Frankhauser at L&S Clock Repair! It is done! I went and picked up my alarm clock, and it is quite ready for another many years of service. I got to meet Lee Wilson, aka L of L&S, he was pretty cool too. I did not realize that its completely normal to have to twist the clock a bit when setting it down to get it going once again you wind it.

I am working on a 1px border on images, but I am unsure exactly how to do it right now best.

<Insert other boring story about getting the wrong sauce on my wings at dinner here.>

I purchased a couple of books at Barnes & Noble this week; I am excited to start Richard Feynman’s sequel to “Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman”; What Do You Care What Other People Think” I’ll do that now.

What happened to updating during the week? Total Busyness. Sorry.
