Ok, so, ya - It still seems kind of awkward, but the new site design is now in effect. I don't like all of it yet (see that big blank spot on the top right?), so things are still going to change over the next few days. The extras page is pretty lame right now too, and I still have to update the old pages to the 'new look'.

By the way, I've really got to fix the webcam. That date-less picture of the stove is driving me nuts!

WOW! So, two days ago I was told my site wasn't working. This happens from time to time when my host does server upgrades, etc, so I wasn't phased. I checked it out and boy were some things wrong - in fact, everything was wrong. There were NO files on the server - nada, zilch, nothing. I got kind of nervous, but I do backups every once and a while and I could have gone back to a state of three weeks ago easily if it came down to it. As it turns out, however, none of that was necessary, my host gave me a link to the 'old' server where my files were. Apparently they decided to switch servers without moving my files from one to the other.......hmmmmmmm... In the time after the loss and before hope came back I whipped up a new version of Bavetta.com which I think I will start phasing in anyway - I like it, and I like change.

So, as I write this, I'm sitting in a ten by ten room filled with dirty underwear about a foot deep with the sounds of traffic blaring from the window wich just happens to be next to a fire department. It's raining and I'm at MIT. MIT is great, my roomate for this "Campus Preview Thing" is .....

OK, so here's the news on 95.1 Bavetta Radio - I soldered together a transmitter from RamseyElectronics and made an antenna out of copper tubing and whala! - It's radio. Mr Coleman let us set up shop in a small room above his wood shop and with the antenna on the roof the signal reaches a good distance. This last week I talked on it for hours (why does that word have a h on it anyway) on end with Danny, Tony, and a few other folks. We got free lunch each day we've broadcast so far and also a few hot chocolates from V.P. Brancha. It's been great. Parking lot, weather, and War with Iraq updates have filled a lot of time, but we've done other things such as "Painting with Dr. Phil" or "The Relaxing Yoga Hour by the Sea" --- So, if you happen to drive by the High School make sure to tune in to 95.1 - "We're Hip"

I would like to thank everyone from Colorado for visiting Bavetta.com on an hourly basis - Thank you.

The last couple college letters came in:

Berkeley - Yes
Stanford - No

6 for 7 - not bad, not bad.

I'm pretty confident now that I'll be heading off to MIT next year.

Well, the squirrel feel off. I had a "life sized" squirrel epoxyed to the roof of my car, but it feel off today while driving down the freeway. I had previously had some sort of bone on the front of the car, but that feel off too due to sun damage to the nylon ties.

After a few days of construction, the FM transmitter is now complete - Stay tuned for K-B-A-V-E-T-T-A Radio..........Details soon...........
