i'll just wait to get some good lights. lol.

I don't like household wiring, AC, analog, or anything like that, but I just now got done with an analog class in school. And I generally know how to deal with it all.
We made two circuit boards. one has an LED and a microphone, we used transistors (what the course was mainly about), resistors, and capacitors to amplify what current our voices made the microphone output, and drive the LED. We used a photoresistor (the things on some outdoor lights that turn em on when it gets dark) to read that light, and used more transistors, resistors, and capacitors to drive an 8ohm speaker.
Getting just the right amount of feedback, and canceling all the noise was really tough.

When it comes to digital, I know what the hell's going on. I can design just about anything with logic gates.


And yeah, shake, Music theory test this morning at 8am.... hard to believe I'm still awake. haha.


I have two primary pieces to buy now, a timer (which won't really be needed till later, but I'm thinking about giving em 20/4 or 18/6) and even though I went back to lowe's, and home depot, I didn't walk out with a thermometer...
