It's always sad to lose a member of this forum. But when that member is a personal friend It's even harder. Steve was a fantastic, giving human being. He departed too soon. If there is an afterlife, I hope you're having a great one Steve!

I'm really enjoying hearing the Chronicles of narnia ( The Chronicles of Narnia: Amazon.ca: Tyndale Publishers: Books ) and am hoping for some suggestions of similar audiobooks with original orchestral scores and "cinema-quality digital sound design" (ie. produced on the level of a good movie rather than a stage play or solo narration). reading text in a book isn't an option the stage play and narration style audiobooks don't retain my attention, this movie style presentation is proving great (I'm now 4 books in ).

This question came to me while I was taking a dump this morning, and contemplating the finer points of taking a piss...

I usually only bid on eBay items with PayPal payment allowed, but I was careless this time and bought some tubes from a seller who doesn't accept PayPal. I would appreciate someone in the US paying the seller on my behalf, with a money order or personal check. The amount due is US$106. I will pay you back by PayPal plus a "fee" for your trouble. Send me a PM if you are willing to help. EDIT: Someone has offered to help, thanks

Just set mine up on the home network and opened the required port at the office so I can peek in on ESPN during my breaks. Man, this thing is sweet! Wish I'd had it when March Madness was in full swing. Still, that darned thing is COOL!! Snagged a 4 port Slinglink so I can pop in a Squeezebox, DVD player, and a couple more items, too! Man, I do love tech toys!

I've been thinking about installing some USB power outlets in my house. With devices that USB wall chargers I've had mixed results. Some of my phones will only charge with a wall-wart that came with it for some reason. I'm a little worried that I'll have the same problem with USB outlets. Do any of you early adapter geeks have any experience with these. For those that haven't heard of them here's an example: TruePower UCS Power Outlet With Built in USB Ports - TruePower UCS Power Outlet With Built in USB Ports

Hope you had a great one Adam! Cheers!

CSC is giving me a vote on where they contribute their money this year, and all the others are children based, which doesn't interest me, so it's down to these two. Does anyone know anything about either of them? No need to "lmgtfy", iwgtfm, tyvm. Sometimes someone has information or strong feelings one way or the other.

But what about those MP3s and iTunes songs you're ready to unload? Is there a way to sell those off, too, when you get tired of them or just need some extra scratch? A new crop of consumer-facing music stores is focused on helping fans resell "used" digital music the way they do CDs. But the big conundrum with digital music is that there's no way to prove sellers legally own the songs on their computers. There's also nothing to stop them from keeping the songs they're hawking.

Have a phenomenal day!

My small town's Art theater just showed it last night, however it's been out since late december. Did any of you get to see it? I absolutely loved it however I understand that I'm in the minority.
