Got A Wacom to Play Collapse

I came across THIS SITE a few days ago. I'm hooked on the Collapse game.

We finally took our Win2K midterm today, at least part of it. We got to school and power was partially out in the building. After climbing 5 flights of stairs (Man, I'm way out of shape), the instructor informs us that we will be late in taking the test, if at all. He hadn't printed the test yet. He found a printer and printed out the test, only to find the copying machine had no toner and nobody had any. So, he had to print all of the pages on the printer--he was bringing us parts of the test a few pages at a time. So, we didn't get to the lab part. We get to do that tomorrow. Oh, boy. Fifty questions in all. I know I messed up a few. Here's the problem I'm having: I'm one of those learners that needs the hands-on experience. I can't get the concept just by reading. I need examples. Marcus, on the other hand, can read about things and totally get it.

All I know is, I can't wait for school to be over. I know I have a lot more to learn, I just don't want to do it there.

I bought myself a Wacom Graphire today. I've been wanting one forever, but $100 was a little more than I could justify. CompUsa has a $30 rebate until the end of the month. Resistance was futile.

Leo LaPorte from TechTv is on vacation. I miss him.
