Elizabeth is dancing to the Vangelis album, Opera Sauvage.

Aha!

I've just realized I can record all my LPs and tapes to MP3 format if I get an adaptor and plug it into the microphone jack. I can even do it on the Portable Mousehold, so I don't have to move the record player upstairs.

*is genius!*

Soon, I'll be able to listen to Golden Avatar while driving! Hmm. All those years wasted, drooling over USB turntables...

EDIT: Wait - would it need to be plugged into the line-in port on the sound card? Cause the Aspire One doesn't have a line-in, just the mic jack. The Fortress Computer in the basement may need to serve instead - it'll just need a longer cable.

Please explain:

"We see America as the greatest force for good in this world," Palin said at a fund-raising event in Colorado, adding, "Our opponent though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists..."

No, seriously. What is going on down there? Have you all gone mad, or something?

Mind you, it makes for interesting headlines. The big contentious issue in the election up here is whether or not carbon tax is a good idea. The incumbent, Prime Minister Headcheese, is accusing his front-running rival (Milquetoast Q. Egghead of the Liberal Party) of "wanting a recession." His rival was described by Canadian media outlets as "enraged."

"It happens that I think his right-wing policies that he's proposing for our economy will hurt people not because he wants that," said Dion, "but because he has the bad policies for the country, the bad ideology that he wants to import in Canada, solutions that did not work for the economy around the world."

Easy there, tiger! I can practically feel the anger pouring from the text!

I have no genius for wiring. But it works!


I've wired in a Sanyo TP-1020 turntable and Nikko NA-550 amp to the line-in on the Fortress computer. I don't know where the wires begin and end, but something seems to be working...
