Idea : Morse Code Note Taker

  • Aug 24, 2006
  • 9 comments

Simple idea: a USB thumb drive with a little button on top that lets me click in morse code messages which are then saved to the thumb drive's memory. When you plug the drive into your computer a text file  containing your message will exist.

QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater? 
Question submitted by mainmor.

It was Paper Tiger staring David Niven. Read the review at the bottom of the page to get an idea how awesome this movie was. Also, it was at a drive-in movie. I want to find this movie since it's one of my earliest memories. I really only remember looking up and seeing someone in a white suit or gown.

Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?

If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?
Question submitted by Zoot.

The Master Of Your Disguise

It's like kind of rock but like serious music, you know? We're not just going to be another band that writes music and then sings lyrics to it, we're going to be a force for change. Change in the world, in the scene, change in the attitudes of not just our peers, but the world around us. Whatever you are, we're going to change you. It might not be for the better, and for that I am sorry, but sometimes change is good--even when it's bad.

Too many bands come out and they're like, "Oh, we have this one song we wrote, and the reason it sounds better than anything  else on our album is because we went into a really nice studio and recorded it with Gil 'Fuckin' Peternortonhowe who not only recorded Detroit's "Feared Dead" but also the Orchestral Interpretation of Feared Dead's last album. So you know, he does like that whole span of music."

I mean, what is that? That's bullshit right there. We're not about bullshit, we're about good music. Hanging with your buds and just fucking going, "Let's listen to something that will affect us in a positive or negative way. We don't care!"

And that is youth, and that is why the children are our future. Thank you.

QotD: Better than the original? (er, not really better)

What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.


Sublime in Boston in the mid-90's on tour doing a radio show and being asked to play "Date Rape" (which they hated) and instead playing something else...

Sublime - Minor Threat

Okay, the truth is I think this is a clever edit. When I first heard this I assumed it to be the story, I mean, how punk rock is it to go on and play a Minor Threat cover (THE Minor Threat cover) when asked to play your college radio hit? Not only that, the interviewer opens himself for the song by saying he "promised" his fans (the actual songs ends with "...and that's a promise.")

I have an out-take of them actually playing Date Rape on WBCN, so I think they actually did play it, and then played this and some jokester decided it'd be funnier if they edited it this way.

Still, as sloppy as this song is, it sure would have a been a funny event if it was true.

Having a problem with Vox, and I haven't received a response so I was wondering if it was just me (something to do with my own computer) or something other people are seeing.

Inline images aren't always appearing. I have to click the link to the image to view full size, and then it loads. No big deal, just irritating.
