Error and trial
Whew, today is tiring. I've spend all day so far tryin gto get this machine to work right for me in lab today. I'm fairly new to it, so basically I've been trying to run it, then one thing doesn't work. I go get the guy who knows how to use it the most, then he fixes the one problem, I start working again and then another thing goes wrong and I try to figure it out, fail, and repeat. Its very frustrating to spend so much time on an instrument and essentially get no good data. AH, well nobody visiting here will probably ever use an HPLC so this probably isn't too interesting.

Thanks to HC for the feedback on the MP3 player. I'm still not really sure which one I should go for, there are a few trade-offs. Seems like iPod would be nice and easy to use, but the battery lifetime is kinda poor. Some of the other brands like iRiver have cool features and better batteries, but seem to cater to more of the computer nerd crowd. I sort of only have a functional knowledge of computers, so I'm good with the programs I know, but thats about it. Well maybe there will be some kinda crazy sale or I will run into mad money somehow and I can just blow $300 no problem (yeah right).

Anyway, I still have my trusty primitive CD player to listen to. I broke out the last Bloodhound gang album the other day for the first time in a while (Hooray for Boobies). Its such a good CD! Its pretty funny and ridiculously dirty, but really the most important thing is that the music is actually really good. They sort fo swing back and forth between genre's on the album, and have Weezer-esque straight up rock tunes, to metal, to electronica and a lot of rap/rhymes. Its a pretty long album too, so you get a lot out of it. There's a crack smoking Pac-man, phone conversations with Jimmy Pop's mom where he's asking for words that rhyme with vagina (Carolina?) and a whole bunch of little jokes between songs. Pretty much all of the songs on the album are better/funnier than the Bad touch, which might have been one of the only songs they could release without massive editing. Check them out, I think you can listen to a few songs on www.bloodhoundgang.com
