Happy Birthday to my favorite Scottie!

Gary Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day, for those that visited Florida in Mike's meet heyday will remember Gary.

Al, hope you have a great day today and wish I could be out there to celebrate with you.

Happy Birthday Adam! Hope you are out enjoying instead of reading this now.....

Have a work related question... We have a PC that streams videos from sources like Bloomberg and MSN... The issue is the videos all have varying volume levels. Are there any software or hardware options to normalize volume on the fly? We are using stereo analog audio outputs.

Have a great one, Fitz! We miss you around these parts and hope to see more of you. Cheers!

I'll be in Indy next weekend and need restaurant recommendations near Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

CNN sells Zite to Flipboard http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/05/technology/flipboard-cnn-zite/index.html No good deed goes unpunished.

So it's time. My aging body along with living in the smartphone world means it's time to enter bi/tri-focal/multi-focus-land. Less irritated with a new milestone of aging (that would be the recent asymmetrical stage of balding), than giving up full-range scanning, tilting/lying down head without regard of planes, losing lens areas of usability, focal points being worse than single vision for far and no glasses for near, etc. But maybe my fears are unfounded or exaggerated? Or if founded worth it? Or resistance is futile?

Dishwashers: we need a new one (built in). Any advice on brands/models?

I know it's early but thought you might be celebrating on Sunday instead of Monday. Have great one, Mr. DIYer, my friend! Cheers!

Happy Birthday! .

Take a break from the shoveling and enjoy a stogie!

Just putting this out there in case it can help. Harry Manx, a fixture on the Canadian folk-music scene, had a one-of-a-kind instrument (basically his livelihood) stolen recently. Here's a photo of it, and a message from him: Beloved friends, with a heavy heart I want to tell you all that this morning at Chicago Ohara airport, while I was on my way to retrieving my luggage, someone stole my beloved Mohan Veena (pictured to the left of me). Security cameras showed a man pick it up and walk out. I've had that Veena more than 20years. There's hardly been a day that I haven't played it. I feel as though I've lost a good friend. I need everyone's help to find it. I…

Hope you get to shine on your birthday Tracy! Cheers!

Happy Birthday my Michigan friend. I hope it's an excellent day..

I've been thinking about getting one for my back porch, which would probably stay there all year long. Would be anchored in to cement columns so no need for something with a built in stand. The porch isn't screened in, so it would attract bugs and dust, and would probably collect water as well. Thus I'm leaning towards simple rope hammock. No particular price point, just wondered if anyone has a hammock that they like to lounge in and would recommend. Some rather interesting products out there, ranging all over the place in terms of price: http://gearpatrol.com/2013/07/19/big-swingers-five-best-hammocks-2/ http://www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/decora…

Have an awesome day of great food, great beverages and great tunes, young fella! Cheers!

Hope you are having a great one!
