kay maybe not quite, but still exciting. The Pixies’ “Doolittle” will be available for Rock Band the week of the 24th. The Whole Album! I had originally planned on getting Guitar Hero when I (eventually) got my 360 but this pretty much swings the pendulum the other way. I can’t imagine any album being more fun in Rock Band than Doolittle. More info here.
In other news, I finished modding my Tobo TV Unit with fans. It’s not much to look at but I figured i’d document my progress nonetheless. The pictures, in all their mediocrity, can be found in my “Cooling a Tobo” Picasa gallery. I think that’s all I’ll do to Tobo, however my AC Adapter has a 1A spec, and the fans and controller only use about 0.4A, so I might put some LED’s in there to light up the drawers when you open them or something like that.
It’s pretty weird what’s going on in Eastern Iowa right now.
By weird, I mean totally effed.
This is what downtown Cedar Rapids looks like.
If you haven’t heard yet, both hospitals have lost power and were evacuated yesterday. More than 100 city blocks are flooded, and over 8,000 people have been forced to move to safer areas.
Many of us in Iowa City have spent that last few days simply evacuating University of Iowa buildings. Its expected that the Iowa river won’t crest until the middle of next week. Most aren’t expecting to return to their buildings until mid-August.
A lot of us grew up in Cedar Rapids. I was born there.
hey guys, Im thinking of buying a digital camera. “Really, you don’t have one?!?” Yeah, I know, time to get with it. But i don’t really know anything about them at all. I don’t need anything fancy, but do you guys have any suggestions of which/where to get one? I know, lame post, the next one will make up for it.
I know, “Come on, Chance. Another Apartment Therapy post?” But there’s so much neat stuff on there!
This little gem is power strip storage and concealment device. (So, in other words, a “box”.) You stick your messy rat’s nest of a power strip into the “box” and… poof! Messy no more! Now, anyone will tell you (Bill, Ben and Joel, specifically) that I’m a disgusting slob, but I totally dig this kind of thing. I won’t spend the time fastening all the cables together and nailing them down to make them look clean. I want something that is easy to set up and then never has to be dealt with again. And if I need to move it all I have to do is pick up the box! Sweet. ….PICTURE! …aaaand link.
