a conversation between me and my dad, which makes me proud:

Me: I think I want to make a cable that has an RJ-45 ethernet plug at one end...and a 2-prong household 120VAC plug at the other.
Him: Why do you want to do that, hoping to blow up someones computer with 110 volts?
Me: I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY HANDY TOOL!
Him: Tool for what?
Me: Determining who is smart enough to have a computer and who is not. Anyone smart enough would never plug it in.
Him: I thought that was where you were going with it... I guess you could also add a 12v cigar lighter plug and a serial port too! Might as well add a normal phone jack as well as a plug to TV hookup complete with rabbit ears. Make it a universal DS (dumb shit) TESTER.

I want a universal dumb shit tester!

I've got about a decade's worth of random computer junk that I've been in the process of getting rid of. I think some of the old hard drives may have to get experimented on! :)

gah, actually, doing the math, I've got almost *two* decade's worth of random computer junk piled up now. Ugh. I feel old.
