A futile search for a unique experience in middle America? This is an attempt to catalog my thoughts, comments and activities in searching for meaning in the same small midwestern town I grew up in.

I took it easy today. I spent some time watching From the Earth to the Moon on DVD. Also, I had a wicked grounding issue here in the radio shack. When my computer keyed up my radio, the audio coming out of the soundcard into the radio was trashed with a ground-loop hum. Its hard to describe, but those of you who have encountered this problem know exactly what I'm talking about. In the end all I had to do was tie a ground wire to my computer and it cleared right up. Sometimes you can get nasty interference effects when you use radios and computers side by side. Although I didn't refer to it when changing the ground, I recommend The ARRL RFI Book. Its chock full of good how-to tips and directions on troubleshooting interference issues.
