it's funny that someone from my work would read this site and not comment.

Everything you will Need 

Ascii table (to convert letters/numbers)

A binary translator (this will translate the text on your cd. otherwise, you can do it the long way and use the ascii table. in fact, if you want to use this to learn HOW to code in binary, help yourself.)

other than the number strings in the static that I was muttering about, there appear to be RED letters within the song lyrics themselves. just like in the tour shirt, these spell words. in this case, numbers.


I'm really, really tired. I'm going to sleep.

The Mercury dime was replaced in 1946 by the Roosevelt dime, designed in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died in April 1945. Although other coins were eligible for an updated design (the design of any coin may be changed without Congressional approval after 25 years), the dime was chosen due to Roosevelt's work in founding the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, even then unofficially known as the March of Dimes, a name it later officially adopted. Although the dime has not undergone any major design changes since its introduction, its composition changed significantly in 1965. The Coinage Act of 1965 removed the silver content from the dime (as well as the quarter and, in 1971, the half dollar), and replaced it with a clad composition of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. Dimes with the silver composition were minted in 1965 and 1966 but bore the date 1964 to increase mintage figures and prevent hoarding of it. The clad Roosevelt dime is currently in circulation, and no major design changes are planned. An attempt was made by Congressional Republicans in 2003 to replace Roosevelt's image with that of President Ronald Reagan, but this was short-lived.

Monroe- it is all carpet. I've already started laying tile in the laundry room.

Urban development 



I bought a house! 3 bed, 3 bath, 3 car garage. porch. basketball goal, if you're into that sort of thing. it's a nice house, as you can see from the picture.


Take the tour! I took some pictures- see what it looks like.







Here's a decent shot of the porch. and garden. whoeever did the landscaping did pretty well- I have some nice flowering plants (the flowers disappeared with this last storm we had) and an ornamental pear tree. also, a very expensive sprinkler system is installed in the lawn. 7 or so zones of sprinklers- about 6 per zone.









Side view of the porch. and the side of the house- and the bay window. on my cul-de-sac there are only four houses. my neighbors are quiet. it's a nice neighborhood guarded by a homeowner's association.









this is the back porch. at some point I'm going to have to put up a fence- but this yard is shaped funny and I don't know how that's going to work out. man, what a perfect porch for a grill!

on to the side of the house. nothing spectacular here...




















And the basketball goal- with a view of the street, and neighbors. not a bad neighborhood at all.









Back to the garage. we're going to head inside
now!











See that fridge? it was actually there when I moved in. I plugged it in and the light came on, but it didn't get cold. I figured it was low on coolant or the thermostat was busted- but Randy took a look at it. he messed around with some stuff and it clicked on. looks like the timer control for the defrost mode just had to be reset.
I find it amusing that the previous owner (this was a repo) just left it. His bad. now I have an extra, and working, refridgerator.




Looking back into the garage. This angle might make it seem small, but I guarantee it isn't. Three cars storage!











Now entering the house, through the garage. this short room HERE (in both pictures) is the
laundry room.

I have some tiles set out in the picture below- I intend to tile the laundry room before we buy a washer and dryer. thought it might be a good idea. the whole house is currently carpet.

















Now we're into the living area. this isn't how it looks now, but this is how it looked yesterday. when we're totally done settling in, I'll put more pictures of the finished home up.








Now the kitchen, which is to the left of the above picture.














Another view of the kitchen from the dining room.








And the refridgerator! a frigidaire, and my current prize (other than the house, garage, car, and wife, I'd say this is up there, right now).
It's a nice fridge- and it has a nickel, not stainless steel, finish. that means that although it's shiny and metal-looking, it doesn't smudge easily.

I'll finish the tour later- more to go on the office, bedroom, guest bathrooms and downstairs- but this is tiring work and I have some things to do.
