Notes, July 2008 | July 26, 2008

Haven’t had as much time for this sort of research. Been stuck mastering programming for nubs, finishing up old audio projects.

A few additions to the in pile and the out pile over the past few weeks.

things I read:

No specific order, mixed bibliographic formats.

You shouldn’t have to have be a l33t3 h4×0r, or have to know a guy to beg a password off of just to read an article like this. Yes, they will give me library access in a few weeks, but still, its bullshit.
