Off Topic

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.

One of my favorite radio personalities. He will be missed. RIP Gene. "If someone was homeless, he would treat them with the same amount of respect as he would the president of the United States," said Pat Thurston, a KGO show host and friend of Mr. Burns'.

Have a phenomenal day!

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.

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

If Boxing Day doesn't do it for you, Enjoy St Stephen's Day, or The Feast Of Stephen, if you are King Wenceslas (Good or Otherwise)

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.

For another sign of technological and cultural changes, the first signs of todays LA quake seemed to start with Twitter posts and then spread to traditional media. Here is an example.

So, I want to get a motorcycle. I have never ridden a motorcycle. Would a Grom be a terrible choice as a first bike? It's that or a Triumph Thruxton TFC (joke). Honda Rebel, maybe? I'd be gear all the time, but I like fine Japanese leather jackets, and they make kevlar armored raw selvedge jeans, now, so that would be fine.

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?

Does the Diviyls' Chrissie Amphlett endorse the iTouch, and has she ever said "I have an iTouch myself"?

So many changes to radio. Many of them bad. Gene Chenault, Reshaped Rock Radio, Dies at 90 - Obituary (Obit) - NYTimes.com

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...

Interesting piece of history - how they transported the A-12 to Area 51. (the A-12 aircraft was the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird) http://www.roadrunnersinternationale.com/transporting_the_a-12.html

Happy musical birthday

Tomorrow is the day.

The ride is called "Toy Story Mania". This ride looks absolutely awesome. The rendering of the characters and special effects and the interaction from you by shooting targets on the screens as you ride through the attraction looks great I definitely want to check this out one day. http://news.cnet.com/1606-2_3-50002682.html?tag=rsspr.6242048∂=rss&subj=news

Have a fantastic day. May it be an eleven!

Hope you've had a great birthday Joachim! Cheers!

Happy birthday, Ken!
