I've always had periods in my life where I would become completely obsessed with something and learn everythign I possibly could about it.

First it was dinosaurs when i was a little kid, then robots/building walkmans/electrical crap, then computers, then drugs, and now cars. I think I'm sticking with cars for awhile even though I'm also going back to puters. I'm going to southern oregon university majoring in computer programming.

Eventually I'm going to try to make a datalogging/autotuning program because the variety of FREE software out there just doesn't exist. IMO uberdata ------- sucks a dick, whoever programmed that is a moron. It's always crashing and doing weird ----, and it looks like the GUI was designed by a monkey.

Crome is much better, but no integrated datalogging unless you pay.

I raced BMX when I was little, then competed in the USASA, then played bass hardcore, then cars. I still do all of those things today (BMX, Snowboard, play bass), but the car gets the majority of attention.

hehe the growing weed was part of my drug phase as well....but sticking to cars is much more productive and legal.

here's my first and last grow, tried to get max yield out of plants under 2 ft high....one was 11 inches tall, yielded 1/2 oz dry, the purple one was 14'' high but that one had a horrible demise. both are jack flash x superskunk




here she is as a little baby.
