Power Outage

Sorry for no posts (I love how I write as though I have readers...), I had no power last week. I promise something cool later today.

e=1

Here is a proof I wrote saying that e=1. See if you can find its fault :)
e^(pi*i)+1=0
e^(pi*i)=-1
e^(2pi*1)=1
|e^(pi*i)|=1
e^(pi*i)=+/-1
e^(pi*i)=+/-1^(pi*i)
e=1 or -1(pi*i)
(seeing as -1^(pi*i) is not a real number, we can rule that out)
e=1

Break the Norm!

My first editorial. Huh.
Anyway, our world has a problem. Making things easier now trumps making things easier later. People would rather not put in the effort to make their lives easier in the long run. If  they did, the world would be using a hexadecimal metric system and Microsoft would be bankrupt. But something can be done! We must advocate the abnormal-but-superior ideals of this world! Here we go:
-Linux
-Metric System (in America)
-Dvorak keyboard
-Solar/Wind energy
-Open Information
-Atheism
-Anarchy

These things, though underused, are in the long run worth the effort of switching to. Help make the world a better place, download Ubuntu.

Zeusaphone

I hope to be making a Zeusaphone sometime soon. This is a Tesla coil made to produce music. Here's my simple schematic:

[Tesla Coil]-----[Arduino FIO]----[MIDI Keyboard]

A Tesla coil makes noise by "flickering" on and off and making the air expand and contract rapidly.  This creates sound waves. By modulating the frequency of the flickering, you can change the pitch of the sound. My Arduino chip will turn the coil on and off based upon the MIDI input.
Details as events warrant.
