What I learned this week

1. How to use a multimeter. Now I have to buy one.
2. What a computer's guts look like. We didn't disassemble the CPU, so I didn't get to see the hamster on a treadmill.
3. That Dianna is the best girlfriend that ever lived. I mentioned an item that I had been looking high and low for, and she went and found it for me.
4. How to tell the impedence strength of a resistor. Not very exciting to you, I admit; but an important part of my potential future.
5. That I can get free magazines. The catch is that they're industry journals.
6. On a calculator, you enter exponents by pushing the "EE" key. If your calculator has such a key, that is. The one you got from the $1 section at Target probably doesn't.
7. That a muscadine is sort of like a grape, and it's not easy to make jelly out of.
8. That calculator I found in the grass back in 1994 is in fact a TI-30 III. I still don't know what half the buttons do.
