Learning about how to operate computers is silly. I obviously know how to turn a computer on and use the commands (duh I have this blog) so why am I taking an entire 3 credit class on how to use computers?!

Yes, the part about excel sheets was kinda useful for my future career as a teacher for grade sheets and such, but two weeks on it is just out of control.

Did you know that Jessica Simpson's song "A Little Bit" is 3 minutes and 47 seconds long which makes it 320, 342,400 bits? Cooooool. I didn't need to know that. Why is that even a question in here?! This is absurd.

Since I have no choice but to finish this class, I might as well get a good grade, right? Unfortunately, the tests are timed and that is probably the most stressful thing to put me through...a timed test. So I always manage to speed through it and do poorly on all these little quizzes. So I am studying now. Here are some little nuggest of knowledge for you all:

• When all of the RGB color settings are set to 0, the color is BLACK! No way!


• The first digit of any binary number is always ONE!


• The accuracy of digitized sound is determined by the sampling rate.


• Raymond Kurtzweil is known as the inventor of text-to-speech recongition.


• MP3 is the sound information of MPEG movies.


• A digital-to-analog converter changes digital information to analog waves. What else would it do?


• GIF = graphics interchange format.


• Using ALL CAPS for an email message conveys anger. [Why is this in the book?]


• The best way to end a flame war is is to cool down before you reply [thank you for anger management techniques.]

Yeah so we'll see about this nonsense. My philosophy: studying for a lame class is lame and is not work my time.

And that's my new philosophy!
