Bowie would have been 71 today and in two days it'll be the annie of his death. Just noticed that Rick Wakeman played keys on Hunky Dory (Changes, Life on Mars etc). Still seems impossible that he won't surprise us with revelation again!

I just noticed this. As I am a keyboard shortcut kinda guy, I always take full advantage of the "alt + S" to submit a post. In FF2, however, this is now the shortcut for the History menu. Is it just me that this is going to affect? Let us rise up, and make FF2 fix the woeful problem, so I don't have to use my bloody mouse... or use another 2 key combination such as "Tab/Space or Tab/Enter"... tis just not the same. **BRENT**

I need to build a new set of steps from the attached garage to the house. I always like the ones a friend of mine has, and went out and bought the materials for them. These are what I would call box steps, but I haven't had any luck on finding plans for something like this online. I was planning on doing these with 2x8 framing on 12" centers and 3/4" plywood. Bottom section would be 5' x 31" and top 36" x 18".I attached a pic of the ones at my friend's house. I'm not sure how the overhang is done on these. Is it just the plywood, or something else? Any suggestions welcome.

Clean Sweep These are the guys I want on my side.

Just getting in under the wire with these birthday greetings, Todd, but that doesn't mean they're any less sincere! Hope you've had a good day, good food, good drink and good tunes. Cheers!

One of those email things. I found this one quite interesting and fun and thus have bookmarked it for occasional reference. Only thing that has me scratching my head is why it shows 2004 following 2010. Obviously a little problem there, but otherwise pretty slick. http://home.tiscali.nl/annejan/swf/timeline.swf Seconds Minutes Hours Day of week Day Month Year

I've noticed this for a long time on head-fi but the last 5 or so threads in this topic have really driven it home. what games are you playing?, Post what you're watching, What are you EATING right now?, book-buying compulsion, Post the last thing you bought!, and What are you reading now? These are all grade A compulsions to disassociate from our emotions on top of our big obsessive compulsive disorder, audiophilia. So to make a long story short, tell us how baddly you were abused as a child.

Either I got fired or I?m incognito. Stealth mode baby! Now I gotta find me some dweebs to tell FUCK OFF! to. It?s liberating, sort of like Free-Balling.

I have two and a half days in Pittsburgh for a conference at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Can anybody recommend anything worthwhile to do/see/eat in the downtown area, to get me out of the hotel? Cheers!

I need a dvd,mpg, or something i can make a dvd out of that is a 10 minute or more clip of just an eyeball moving and blinking. For those who have been to ABT, they have something like this in the receiving department. That sort of thing. Any ideas?? I'll show whats up once i get something...

Have a TICEtastic birthday Steve! Cheers!

Star Destroyer.net I've seen it mentioned here a few times, and ended up actually finding the address in a random screenshot that aerius posted. Looks like a scary forum! Problem is I think Star Wars is kind of stupid. But I think Trek kicks ass (especially tng and ds9). In short, what the hell is the story on this place? It looks like more OT discussion goes on then actual sci-fi talk.

I guess it's what you'd expect from an organization with that name, but these videos are a blast.

Superman! I just saw it and though it was something like 154 minutes I was pleasantly suprised. I thought it was great! Kevin Spacey and Brandon Routh both fit the parts perfectly imo. Did anyone else see it?

need some opinions on new pickups. i am currently looking at the bill lawrence J-45s and the villex V2JSC. i have heard and played the J-45s but not the V2JSC. anyone that have heard both give some feedback?

Five of the most awesome car stunts - ever! Vid #5 - If you have the patience to sit through it, drifting through the streets of San Francisco Ken Block flies his Ford Focus through the air sideways through a curve, lands it and continues on like he never left the ground. Never seen that before! Sorry for the small spoiler, but along with the rest of his stunts it's a "gotta see moment".

Have a wonderful birthday to my good friend Mike! 40 at last!

Steve-O was arrested Sunday night for vandalism. a neighbor in his Los Angeles apartment complex made a citizen's arrest after Steve-O began going berserk and breaking holes in the walls of his apartment.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to thank this community. Head-case has been an incredible wealth of knowledge for me, having guided my foray into high fidelity audio. I joined Head-case in 2008, soon after discovering that head-fi was overwhelming and nearly impossible to garner useful information from. I then spent the next couple of years lurking and reading, eventually leading to several (blind, but somewhat informed) purchases. I've been enjoying music through the same set-up for the past 4 years or so. I haven't been here in a while, but I decided that it was about time to offer my gratitude to the community that built my headphone system - quite literally, as my hea…
