Happy 46th birthday. You just get rid of one year, and another one comes along straight away. Just think of it as 23 years old for the second time. Or, 21 with 25 years experience.

How hot is it? It's so hot... ...I am now eating baked strawberries (I only left them in the car for 10 minutes). Here's a science joke for you: ...glass melts. ...I'm not even working up a sweat and I'm working up a sweat.

Where DustyChawk go?

Have a good one Albert! And don't drink too much cheap tequila! Cheers!

Have a fantastic day Jeffy!!!

Happy birthday, gentlemen! Enjoy.

Anyone care to review some gear they haven't ever heard? The HE90 is a great headphone, especially paired with the Orpheus headphone amplifier. The Orpheus has the power in wattage and ampules to move the electrostatic weave band very quickly creating beautiful transient response and superb imaging akin to the best speaker systems ever made. Its like being there with the musicians when you listen to it. I was listening to jazz with it and it is like Miles Davis is alive and in my room with me blowing horn. Its like finally i stop listening to my gear and start listening to the music. After all, isn't that what this hobby is all about? Also the HE90 has a blacker backgr…

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, dear David Happy birthday to you (please imagine pleasant singing voice)

As of a couple of weeks ago I'm now officially in business with a license and everything I've been looking into ways of diversifying, and with that in mind I've been delving into other areas and letting a bit of my artistic (autistic?) side out. I bought a nice little engraver to go along with all my Proxxon mini tools. I'm also thinking of getting into knives and such. I don't know if that makes any sense but it's me thinking aloud. I'm not really a knife type but doing wood grips is fun. I don't actually know anyone into knives so I don't know what most look for in one. Any of you guys into knives? If so, what is it you look for. As to the engraving, I've had quite …

speak the truth.

Happy Birthday! I trust our LA brethren will take good care of you.

Whats the longest time that you chaps have run for without any shut eye? I'm up to 45 hours now, which is I think, the longest I've gone. I'm now just doing it out of some sort of strange morbid masochist curiousity, my companions are two seasons of charmed I've not yet watched and a 12 pack of Tennants lager, 7 to go. I've no class tomo. No deadlines coming (original stay up was for last recent one). Should I collapse into bed, its there. Like, 2 feet away. All snug and warm. OR Should I just keep going. In the name of science. Or whatever passes for science these days? I'm aware (from reading and such) of what symptoms I might expect (increasing chance…

Happy Birthday to the Lord of the Beers! Cheers!!!

Happy birthday and warm wishes for a wonderful year!

Hope you each have a great day Antonio and Steve! Cheers!

Hope it's a great day, a prelude to some wonderful things coming soon!

Have a great day filled with music, scotch, cigars, and whatever other trouble you can get yourself into Naaman! Cheers!

I'm looking to read more science fiction. I've read the Dune series as well as some Clive Barker (Imajica...etc.) but I'd like to get into more of the classics and also modern writers as well. Obvious beginnings would be Orson Scott Card, Neal Stephenson, Issac Asimov (no, I haven't read anything by Assimov... I know, I'm a bad geek)... Philip K Dick, ...etc. So what Science Fiction should I read and what modern authors/series do people recommend? What are your essential books? Cheers, thrice

Have an incredible day!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Scott!

Have a fantastic day Craig!

Wotcha mates ! I have just quit (that place that dare not speak its name) due to apalling censorship by mods. Here is a gratuitous picture of my dogs

All, The Photobucket site has been crap for years. Now they want something like $400 / year for a user to post pics on a third party site (i.e. embed photos). If the site wasn't absolute crap, I might have given this more than a seconds' worth of thought. Since that's not the case, figured I'd ask here if there's a smarter way to do this. Thanks in advance. HS

Let's see, you must be 35 by now? Have an incredible birthday old man! Time does fly! You were my first friend in this headphone hobby. I have enjoyed that friendship immensely. First closeby, and now further apart. Your entire family is beautiful! Though I wouldn't recognize half of them today! 🙂
