But, if you’re a AAA member, you can request a credit card key that’ll fit in your wallet¹.

Note: It can only be used to open your car door, which doesn’t matter because you’re just retrieving your locked keys inside the car.

“Time stretching [MP3s] and other audio” by Blake Tolbert

I haven’t tried foobar2000 — because I’ve only been into the Kevin and Bean’s podcast from KROQ lately — but it looks legit and much simpler.

Oh yeah, welcome the new blogger! He doesn’t have a contact page and his comment form is broken, so let’s send him some traffic so he could see a spike from my blog.

Yesterday, between 9am and 1am (16 hours), I studied ten hours, napped for one hour, and maybe three hours for meals. I gave myself other small breaks, checking email, going through feeds in Bloglines, etc.

Tuesday, I studied for 4 1/2 hours in the afternoon.

I gotta get this into my head: if you spread out your studying, you’ll make it so much easier on yourself (mentally and physically).

Please learn from me.

I need to say something positive about all this, because it’s not the end of the world.

• I had probably 3-4 cups of coffee throughout the day. But, at least they were all from the comfort of home. If I bought four Caffé Mochas from Starbucks, it would’ve been almost 12 bucks! That’s a little over one bag of coffee beans!
• I took notes from the reading using TiddlyWiki. The learning curve is small, and WikiBar helps with that. (see “How to install a TiddlyWiki plugin“)
• I recorded myself reciting the 34 vocabulary words, which needed to be memorized word for word. Then, I sped up the tempo in Audacity (which doesn’t change its pitch), added a split-second Sine chirp between terms, then listened to it while washing dishes, lying in bed, on the way to school, and right before class. If you listen to a song enough times, you’ll have it memorized; in my opinion, the same logic applies here. You could take this further, but perhaps that should be a dedicated post.

I initially wrote a quick plea for someone to develop a WordPress plugin that’s a dropdown box for multiple feed reader services. You know, I’d hate to turn you away because I didn’t have a button to add my feed to your feed reader. Fortunately, I didn’t post that question because I wouldn’t have used it after finding Add to Any.

Basically, I want you to be able to:

• subscribe to my feed with whatever feed reader you use, or
• submit a post (or the whole site!) to your favorite bookmarking service

If you’ve got a site or blog, integrate this. I’ll be doing this soon. If a site doesn’t use Add to Any, you’re in luck – there’s a bookmarklet! Man, great job, MicroPat!

Update: Thanks to James, I’ll be using iFeedReaders.
