Wow, thanks guys! That's really helpful! I sucked at it when I was in school so I didn't do very well in those electronics courses I was taking...and I kind of just 'gave up'. I think this really makes me want to try again!

Too...many...jokes...

I think it's dangerous to be outside period in Russia...everybody should just stay indoors the way people drive over there.

I would love to do something like this, but I'm horrible at soldering...

I can do this...I just don't want to! ;-)

Meh...

Nice, but Linux is a no-go right now...

So, now I'm left fighting to NOT pay the loan, and there is simply no way for me to prove that I either did or didn't co-sign the loan. Co-signing is a nightmare if you ask…

I just use one, very basic home screen. I like to keep things very simple and easy to use...

I see In Flames! Rock on dude! Rock on! \m/

It was a good read, but I honestly hate how people throw around the term 'OCD' for any sort of quirk. For those of us have true, balls out, diagnosed OCD who struggle with it on a regular basis, it's a bit insulting.
