Forum Week 2

This week forum was a journey to engineering. Not to say that past forums were not a journey to engineering, since random bleeps and squaks are closer to this field than music. This week, however was a physical journey to the engineering space in an effort to maximize our tech studies efficiency. Who would have thought that a music course would lead to the path of manual labor? Only those who denny the pure vision of Cage and his followers.

We got to wear goggles which was hot. Unfortunately, nothing hit them in the process so it was a waste of time and equipment. We learned how to solder wires together, and this is a problem I will not have in life from now on. We also learned how to wire up a pizza mic to a male jack and plug this in speakers. The results were musically... the results in an engineering sense were successful, IE it made a sound. We did not get to finish making these since we ran out of time but I cannot wait until next week when I will be making beeps to rival those at a pedestrian crossing (fingers crossed! hahaha).

Hey Cage, what happened to Weeks 3 + 4 of forum? Don't tell me you ran out of inspiration? Cage not being able to create out of nothing? Surely not.

Cage is not only able to create out of nothing but can create and work with nothing itself, redefining the realm of "nothing". I hope for your sake that your momentary lapse of inspiration was due to increased solar flare activity on the Sun, obviously wreaking havoc with the equilibrium. Perhaps this can be used to your advantage?
