Have a fantastic birthday Mike! It would be awesome to see you around here again more often! Cheers!

Don't have time to sit around listening to all those damned albums? Well, here's all of the Beatles UK albums compressed into a single 1 hour MP3 by speeding them up 800%. http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/10/the-complete-be.html Enjoy!

Have a fantastic day. May it be an eleven!

Does anybody use Earthlinks DSL-based local phone service?Impressions? QOS? Is it great? Does it suck? It just came available in my neighborhood. I would so enjoy saying goodbye to ATT. I currently use Earthlink for DSL. It's fine. Nothing extreme to report good or bad.

I assume many/most have already seen this poster (online or in print), but as it came up in conversation today I thought I'd link in case some haven't. Death and Taxes: 2009 Edit: And this has nothing to do with todays holiday. Just thought I'd link since it came up.

I have to ship a Linksys "Music Bridge" to a friend in Denmark (from the US). Can somebody please suggest a reasonable shipping method? I'd like to get it there fairly quickly but at a reasonable price. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

There's a book like I'd like to order, unfortunately it is only (maybe) available directly from the publisher. Anyone willing to give it a try for me? PM for more info. Thanks!

Hope your birthday is rapidly achieving awesomeness, Dan! Cheers!

I felt like the amount of evidence in this case was overwhelming, and Murdaugh's testimony was underwhelming. But you never know how a jury will react, especially in the case of a wealthy defendant. I think this jury got it right, even though they only deliberated for 3 hours.

I miss him. I hope he's alright. Two of the last things he posted were: that he was sick that he was famous Here's to hoping it's more of the latter than the former.

Happy birthday to the minions who were all born on the 1st of January, especially the plethora of 15 year olds who have graced this hallowed portal over the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bH8apMqPw0

This gets crazy discounted once a year and it's that time. If you want a wealth of fiction, music reviews, film commentary, cartoons, etc. here you go. Although the software isn't up to the content (though updates to it are better than some early reviews), 4,000 issues over 80 years for under $20 is incredible. Content is searchable by keywords, but like all these summary DVD collections, they're not going to go back and get permissions from every writers estate so these are decent resolution images - basically PDFs - of every page, not the text. You get over it quickly though and you can always 'print to PDF' with OS X or Acrobat to get outside. There's an update disc fr…

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/send-money-to-friends-with-gmail-and.html Interesting that Google has made it so easy to send money. I do have to wonder just how many folks are actually aware of Google Wallet to begin with? Paypal has such a stranglehold on the market...

Once again it's time to remember Matt on what would be his Birthday. It would be hard for anyone who met Matt to forget him. I hope there's a better place, where you're happy Matt!

When is this movie coming out in the U.S.? I can't wait so I can complain that it's not showing within 100 miles of Olympia washington.

I doubt he'll see this, but back in the early headphone days, especially in the Bay Area, Whitney was a regular. I know plenty remember him from those early meets. Great guy and always incredible music suggestions. After peeling off, he reshowed in my world from this Stanford Medicine article - The Puzzle Solver. With today's HC birthday reminder I looked up his web site and see he's posted a few recent videos to his YouTube channel. He has had a very tough time with severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). Saying happy birthday Whitney, but also bringing those who were not aware up-to-date. https://www.whitneydafoe.…

Have a great one Knucks! Cheers!
