My Education Pays Off

Thanks mom & dad! For sending me to school. Paying for my education all the way through my master's degree. It finally paid off today.

So a little known secret. I have a master's degree in electrical engineering. I concentrated mostly in digital signal processing and imaging science but forget about that for now.

I'm also somewhat of a klutz given a sharp object in my hands. Such as scissors...

Today I decided to finally connect the rear 2 speakers. I've been too lazy to do so for the past 3 months. When I moved, I wrapped the wires to the speaker stand with those saran wrap things. While I was cutting that off, I accidentally cut through the speaker wire... Argh. Annoying.

So I'm looking a this wire. Thankfully, it was cut diagonally so I could keep the polarity straight. I have a wire cutter because I bead. I went back to 199X in my brain and remembered how to strip wires and reconnect. I didn't have anything fancy so I just twisted them together and held them together with packing tape.

Since I don't have a really good sound system, and my ears aren't that sensitive, I'm perfectly happy with my ghetto fix. All I know is there's sound coming out of that speaker!!! There's something satisfying about watching Forensic Files with surround sound.
