...

I recorded and posted some new audio.  one I played on my acoustical and the rest were on my electric guitar and an amp that is the size of a cigarette pack.  I should really use my slightly bigger amp sometime when I'm recording sounds.

In other news, I'm gonna go home and read my Tesla biography before I go to work.  This guy was amazing.  Nikola Tesla was the smartest man ever and beats out Edison any day of the week as the world's best inventor.    While reading this book, I have thrown out all the knowledge I learned in elementary school about how great Edison was.  He wasn't that great.  He used the trial and error method in all his experiments, while Tesla did research to rule out what will work and what won't.  And also Edison only cared about money, while Tesla cared about advancing the human race.  Edison gets taught so much in schools because he made a lot of money off his Inventions.  Tesla on the other hand didn't make much money off his inventions, even though he could have.  He was making millions off the royalties to his Alternating Current (which is way better that Edison's Direct Current)  but when the electric company that he worked for came upon hard times and needed money, Tesla gave up those royalties to the electric company because his friend, who was also the owner of the company, needed the money to keep the company alive.  They should teach more about Tesla in school.  He was a smart and good man, unlike Edison, who killed puppies in trying to show how Tesla's Alternating current was dangerous.
I could say much more, but my book is waiting for me.
