Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

a quote from David Eick of battle star gallactica: "I can be as highfalutin as anybody about the socio-political relevance of contemporary science fiction, but sometimes I just want to see shit blow up."
all i understood was "shit blow up".

so...i want to get icruze, the kit to play my ipod in my car...know anythign about that? well, part of the installation requires splicing of wires behind the radio....my bf, peter says splicing is not good, it can cause electical damage and cost me mucho dinero! i wanted to ask for you advice.
some guy sent me steps for the installation: 1) Remove the down tubes, driver's side knee bolster, & (optionally the glove compartment) 2) Remove the connector from the back of the stereo & remove the head unit. 3) slide the blue "tab-holder" out of the wiring connector. 4) For each of the four wires you need remove them from the connector by using a small jewelers screwdriver to push down the tabe holding them in place. 5) Once removed, strip the factory stereo wires about 1 inch from the connector and using a soldering iron solder the iCruze wires to the head-unit wire. 6) Slide head shrink tubing (or use tape, UGH!) onto the wire and using a lighter (or heat gun) shrink the tubing to protect the wires. 7) do steps 4-6 until done. 8) mount the boxes with strong double stick tape. 9) Put the head unit back in and reconnect the connectors. 10) before putting everything back together, test iPod/iCruize/Radio. 11) reassemble car. 12) do a little dance and go for a iCruise in your iMini!
You boys and you're BSG!!!!!!!! I think I might have to start watching so I don't feel left out all the time. When's this next season of Laguna Beach going to start? And what about the Hills?!?!!!
