Today was my first day of class.  Last spring I took Comp 1 at Century with Corey Quick and it was a ton of fun.  So I decided to take Comp 2 this spring with the same teacher.  And so far I’m off to a bad writing start.  I haven’t been to inspired to write lately.  I’m still working on that MP3 problem.  Ish.

Seth has really been rocking the yoyotwo blog hard.  Today he posted some pictures of a Delrin SPR yo-yo from Paul Yath.  And not only the yo-yo, but Paul is also introducing two new friction pad technologies.  How awesome is that?

The biggest frustration to me right now, however, is MX Skype Recorder.  This used to be a great program for recording Skype calls and I used it often for recording the Yo-Yo Wiki podcast.  Yesterday when I opened up the program to record the 9th episode of the podcast I got a pop-up window happily saying “there is a new version available, would you like to download it?” And so foolishly I followed the link and downloaded the new version thinking I might get a better quality or something like that, but quickly after installing the new version I found that the only new thing with the new version was that you had to pay fifteen dollars to active it, and if you didn’t activate it you could only record for five minutes…. but the biggest problem was that I didn’t find out about the five minute limitation until we were almost done with half hour podcast!  I would have gladly donated 15 dollars to the maker of the program if there was a splash screen or something asking for a donation, but with this new version he effing hosed me and he is making The List.  The List is a brand new thing, I hope you enjoy it.
