garage sale treasures

garagesaleing with ryan. we set out in the morning on a pre-programmed tour of area garage sales. the first one looked like slim pickings from the street, but then it turned out that it continued on in from the yard to the garage, down the hall, and into the basement, where everything was neatly arranged and with little green price tags. including the pharmaceuticals in the drug cabinet. loot from a morning of garagesaleing: book case ($5), moving-message LED sign ($0), chili pepper christmas lights ($2 priceless). then: breakfast at mt. hope diner. banana pancakes.. mmmmmm .. berkeley programming contest. kim's birthday celebration. stealing chinese food from four and vijay....

i intend to write about programming problems, physics problems, complex analysis, and led sign hacking at nibot_lab in the nearish future.
