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!

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.

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!

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

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 ).

Have a phenomenal Christmas. I enjoyed watching Suzy tear open her gifts!

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!

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.

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
