twenty-five seconds of silence

i'm beginning to glow… forever!

looks aren’t everything

well, looks aren’t everything… because if they were, then janell wheeler wouldn’t have gotten voted off _american idol_ last night. she was definitely the most attractive girl on the show. so that’s too bad; i would have liked her to stay longer, but america didn’t seem to share my fondness for her.

race condition

so i found a weird issue in my test today, one which could explain why it’s failing.
so suppose you have a clock that’s sampling another signal. and in your simulation, at the clock’s edge, the other signal changes at the exact same time. which value do you get then? ah, that’s the [...]

days 1 and 2

friday night, i met up with tim at sneha. before that, i rushed to safeway to pick up my nicotine patches. i had called my medical insurance (cigna) before and knew that they wouldn’t cover the costs. and that’s what my pharmacist told me, and she also told me that she didn’t [...]

the monkey is off our backs

friday night, everybody was out for dinner, so i grabbed mcdonald’s (angus burger with mushrooms and swiss, my first time having it, it was good) and headed to john’s place. we watched the kings/warriors game. the kings played very well, and they were up a lot, but the warriors stormed back in the [...]
