As many of you saw, Jeff had signed up for a TdC in Virginia, as it's a cause near and dear to him. It just so happens we're having a ride in Chattanooga on May 18th, and with Jeff and other friends in mind, I was one of the first people to sign up for this one. I plan on training to do the 40 mile ride, which I think is doable in the 3-4 weeks I have, and having a good cause is worth me pushing a bit further, a bit longer than I normally do. http://main.diabetes.org/goto/BrentLawson My goals aren't quite as lofty as Jeff's, but I'm hoping to raise $500 over the weeks leading up to the ride. My work is sponsoring the event, and we have a nice little team so f…

Happy birthday, Nate. Hope it's a good one.

Hello gentlemen, I originally posted this topic over at HF and got a couple of replies from those who actually enjoy and the hobby of wet shaving. So now I've come over here to a more refined(?) group of gentlemen who might also partake in the other morning ritual. Ok, so we obviously love our headphone gear and retreat to it at the end of a hard day, so this brings me to how we start our day and by that I mean shaving. For me, there's nothing better than the satisfaction I get out of a good luxurious shave and not to mention getting the day started off right. My routine to get a great shave starts with the use of a scrub that loosens up all that dead skin and s…

Happy Birthday Vicky! Have a great one

I've been lurking and posting on head-fi DIY section for sometime now and I did not know that this site existed. Whoa, this site is EXACTLY what I need. Thanks. Whoever started this is akin to diyhifi starting their own site after getting shitted by diyaudio. Head-fi has long lost it's colors by holding an absurd amount of ignorance and fanboyism WITH actually mods protecting them. WTF? Here I don't have to deal with being nice when a product is really overpriced and when it's not really hard work R&D like how it's claimed to be.

As a recent father of a daughter myself, just curious how you are holding up? Don't ask me for advice because I have none. Hope all is good with the family.

Anyone wants to play a game? Post a picture of a band or even just one performer and everyone can guess who the hell it is. If no one knows original poster should post the answer. Once identity is revealed post next new pic. I will start this off with an easy one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3233[/ATTACH]

Happy Birthday, Mike! Go run 10 more miles today

because of you, my lunch is cold and i have to deal with this crap On a funny note, the car that hit me was a Dodge Durango SLT and it had to get towed because it was leaking fluids and wouldn't start haha

Born 07:51 8lbs 6oz 19.5" Everything went super smooth and mommy and baby are doing very well. It's almost strange how quick and easy things went (from my perspective at least, wife I am sure would say otherwise). Couple days to recover from C-section in hospital then everyone should be coming home. And without further ado......

Seems like some bright spark decided it would be a great idea to move all the sponsor panels and other shite to the left of the pages instead of the right. Now I have to scroll over for every page I look at because you can't collapse them. Fucking place was bad enough before. I give up.

I love it when I can use one image to cover both of today's birthday's! Hope you are having a great one Biggie and that Monks will have to work overtime to resupply the beer stocks when you are finished celebrating! Cheers!

Quick forward here. I hate NJ and want to leave NJ. My new job essentially allows me to live anywhere. Problem is I am not sure where I want to live. This is where you come in. If you could live anywhere in the US where would it be and why?

It could be argued that one of the root causes of the current problem was "faulty" risk analysis. Whether the risk analysis was faulty by design or intent is left as an exercise for the reader. The following post from comp.risks is posted verbatim as it seems to be so on topic - and apolitical. ***** A lot of the comments in RISKS-25.34 seem to imply that the people running the financial firms were stupid and/or careless in not doing a correct risk analysis. These people are not stupid or careless, merely greedy, unscrupulous and irresponsible. They did a careful risk analysis all right, and then made the decision to deliberately feed false information i…

Whoa is me, I just lost my HF BOLD status. Didn't re-up my dues, now I'm just another HF bitch....and we are going to collide with Andromeda....what's a mother to do? Let me introduce myself...my name is gauche (nee ronin74). Would y'all mind if I join the adult table, I promise not to eat too much or touch any of JP's stuff. I hear you can spit and cuss over here, so where the fuck are the ads?

Looked around ... surprised we didn't have one of these threads. If we've got one, mods can feel free to move this post. I'll start: My 15yo daughter and I live about 1/4 mile from the high school. She's the manager for the girls softball team. She also pretty much has her own apartment in the lower floor of the house. Guess what shows up at my place every day at about 6? Yeah, about half the girl's softball team and the gaggle of boys that follow them around. So I feed 6 to 10 teens reeking of hormones and sweat pizza or tacos most evenings. I don't mind it a bit though. April's had a tough couple of years living in California with her mom, and being back in Mo…

:prettyprincess: Have a great great day!!!

Happy 26th birthday! Keep the innovative products coming. I'm definitely in for a Pico Slim.

All the best Birgir! maybe someone will bake you a cake today?

This has got to be the best picture ever... might be a little large for an emoticon, but I say we go for it.

Have a good one!

Basically, the oldest/most famous Japanese rock band X Japan (or X) that has ever existed had reunited on 10/22/07. The leader of the band has organized it so that overseas fans can buy a "package" with the plane ticket, hotel booked, everything set, or enter a lottery where random selected winners will be allowed to buy tickets. I've been listening to these guys for a long time and this is a perfect oppotunity since it is during Spring Break. When I started to register the form... I am talking about a band performing in Tokyo Dome 3 days in a row.. with 50,000 fans per day and a great deal. All I need to pay is around $1500USD for a package with a booked hotel, round…

It is with great pleasure that I wish a very happy birthday to one of my first friends in this hobby: Happy Birthday, Nate!

I hope you get to work some wood on this special day! And maybe even make it into the shop. Have a great one, Steve! Cheers! p.s. Alden says: Steven!! Have a great birthday!

Well, went to see a doctor today and guess what?! I'm fucking unhealthy. A dog is healthier than me! Big surprise. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, 15lbs overweight, and the list goes on. Anyway, doctor recommended I completely de-tox my body and eat nothing but fruits and veggies for the next 2 - 3 weeks. The good - I can get better. The bad - I can't eat nor drink anything I like. I am so fucking pissed that I now have my family saying "TOLD YOU SO! etc etc". Anyway, any of you guys starting out a diet this new year? I hope to keep to it. Wish me luck!
