Happy Birthday Marshall. Hope it is/was a day filled with doubly-good celebrations!

Here are some blasts from the past proving i'm more nuts than the rest of you. Circa 1976 to 1977, my first and only apartment, before i decided i needed several thousand square feet to be happy. Notes: The panels are magnaplaner tympanii 1's The tripple stack are 3 pairs of quad esl 63's with the levinson supertweeters The two turntables are thorens td125's with rabco arms The other turntable is a b&o 4000 with a specially fitted arm to take any cart.

I was cleaning out my ears and my sink in my second bathroom doesn't drain well and started to fill up. I foolishly had my Zen on the towel rack right above the sink and of course in fell right in. I was only submerged for a second or two but that was enought for it to start flashing primary colours and then settle on the color pink for a while and then switch to blue and then black. I immediately opened it up and dried out all the water I could see. I put it on one of the air induction vents for the central heating in hopes that it will dry out all the way and work in a few hours. We'll see! This could be the excuse I've been looking for to buy a new portable. The pr…

Have a phenomenal day!

Wondering how people have responded to this news? It's rather annoying Equifax took 40 days to admit to the breach and then offers half-ass and confusing assistance to consumers, which requires consumers to go through arbitration in case of dispute. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/08/equifax-response-to-data-breach-leaves-many-consumers-confused.html

For the non-parents among you, this will probably seem fairly meaningless, but... When I got home from the Cincy meet on Saturday, my son had made his first poopy in the potty without direction! He turns two in about a month! Doggone smart kid, and freedom from diapers is on the horizon!!!!!

After a two year headphone hiatus, I'm back, having just purchased some SR-009's, coupled with being in Reykjavik and finally meeting Spritzer in person. His hospitality has been great and I'm thrilled to have the new headphones; on the downside, I'm going to need a fuck-ton of money to properly amplify my electrostatic collection. So, before you think of giving to UNICEF or some Ebola research site, please contact me - I'm not sick and I need amp money!

Happy birthday Can you pull yourself away from the DIYT2 long enough to respond? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-8Zani3XrY or, perhaps:-

So after some time looking for a job I've been accepted for a position in MD that matches what I'm looking for. I have a car and all my belongings are here in CA so I'll be driving across the country to my new location with my essentials. I'll be shipping the nonessentials since it'll be easy to do so as they're still packed in moving boxes from my separation. My father will be travelling with me to help split the driving duties. As I haven't done a cross-country drive before, I'd like some input on the planned route which is this so far: Los Angeles, CA to Baltimore, MD - Google Maps I've mostly kept to the I-40 as I heard it's the better route to take, though I'm…

Have a phenomenal Birthday Sir!

I have my account set up for queuing Blu-Ray disks if they're available. Sometimes I don't want it blu-ray but it selects it automatically. Is there a way to manually change a queued movie from blu-ray to DVD? I don't want blu ray all the time because I just rip movies to my hard drive most of the time and throw them back in pill box so I get movies faster.

Had a friend of mine who sent me an invite so I went ahead and joined awhile back. I didn't really have the time to mess with it very much so I've left it alone for a couple of weeks. In the process I've added 2 friends and that's it. My "name" is not my real name. Today I went back and looked in the section where you can add friends. There are a ton of people I know and have worked with in the industry that have popped up! How in the hell is that possible when I don't go by my real name?

Can't wait to hear what John Stewart and Colbert have to say about this tonight! It's almost like something the Onion would write but once again, truth is stranger than fiction.

Have a fantastic day!

Have a wonderful day!

Assuming you survived Hedonism Portugal, I hope you have a very happy day! Cheers!

Have a great one!

Music industry plans new digital format - The Inquirer Anyone from generation XYZ care to comment, or was the article too long for you? Anyone else remember the Hawk Log mentioned in the comments?

Have a fantastic day!

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

The title says it all. Thank you for your many sacrifices and for your service to your country.

It is with great pleasure I bring you one of my most ambitious projects, Photography in Medicine. The idea was born of some random discussions my advisor and I had over the summer and after incessantly annoying, emailing and calling a lot of people, it has finally come to fruition. You can read more about it at www.photographyinmedicine.org. Chris Evert Children’s Hospital has graciously allowed full access to their general pediatric, pediatric oncology and pediatric ICU wards where we will give the admitted children cameras and go around with them taking pictures of whatever they find interesting. The hospital plans on displaying the images in their main lobby in Mar…

Look! It's Iron Dreamer's birthday. Don't worry. Just because you're so young, doesn't mean you can't have fun. Enjoy!
