Horoscope

When I was younger, I loved horoscopes. I checked out what was in store for Libra each day.

The 12 zodiac signs are also constellations in the sky. Today in my Astronomy lab, I learned the astrological signs are determined by the constellation in which the sky appears on the date of your birth. So the range of the zodiac sign is the time frame the sun is in that constellation.

However, the earth's position in the sky changes, and the zodiac ranges we know are outdated. Using the computer program, I found out the sun was in Virgo the day I was born. So I'm technically not a Libra, but I feel like one. I always weigh in options and try to balance them.

This still isn't enough to make me check my horoscope everyday.

1iota is

I'd say the R word, but that may be to strong. They gave me tickets last season (not every week), so I just need to figure out how their system works.

But everyone else who put their ethnicity as White or Black got tickets 2 weeks ago! Then again, they only requested 2 tickets each. *Sigh* and if it is because THEY recorded my attendance to a couple shows incorrectly, then that just makes me angry.

But here are tips when requesting tickets on 1iota.com:

-Provide a photo.

-Put that you're black or white. They tend to get tickets first.

-Lower amounts of tickets requested have better chances.

At least I have friends who are willing to take me as their guest =]

*edit*

So I changed nothing about my ethnicity and still requested 3 tickets for the second ABDC show, and I got tickets right away. Just when you think you have it figured out, they change on you. xD Or maybe they saw this blog? o_O

Memory Cards

Once I made the transition from disposable to digital cameras, my collection of photos increased exponentially. The mass amount of photos slowed down my hardrive, so I would burn them onto CDs to preserve them.

What I should have done was save them onto memory cards or flash drives. They became really cheap, and are clearly a better way to save your data.

Why? Discs get scratched and become unreadable to computers. Plus, they spin so fast and get so hot, I worry about my computer.

So let that be the lesson of the day. It's 2009, if you want your pictures to last until 2019, better save them on a secure media. And do it often, just in case your computer crashes.
