106 and still going strong! Happy Birthday to you!

An embryo was created which has genetic information from two mothers and one father, successfully making the donor woman's cell produce healthy mitochondria in lieu of the primary mother's diseased mitochondria. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7227861.stm

Prebable: Jeff (VPI Vinlyspinner) was kind enough to invite me to indulge in a taste test of a matched pair of small, round (with a hole in the middle) glazed donuts from Britts. I was happy to oblige. Actually, he just did a head nudge towards the kitchen and said, "You better hurry or they'll all be gone." In any case, I would like to publicly slobber all over Jeff (in a strictly figurative sense) for having had the opportunity to ingest a couple of the above poorly described donuts. Heading 2: (To further set the stage - because I like being on stage - in the desperate hope of making others believe that what follows will somehow be worth reading) While I …

Have a great one Shelly! Cheers!

Have an incredible day! May great whiskey, and great bread be a part of it!

Oh yeah. Douche Doodily Duectch.

I have no idea why, I sure didn't do anything, but my cellphone is doing the weirdest stuff. The screen is flashing, it won't recieve service, and when I press a button, it makes a weird "shock" sound. It's like a Packard Bell computer without the huge tower. :'( Even sadder is this is the 3rd replacement in one year. Damn phone.

Maduro La Flor Dominicana Ligero very potent, tasty smoke. Was too strong to be smoking while working outside in this heat.

Ok so last night I was whistling along with a tune and I noticed a strange sound...like a clashing harmony. I figured I was off or something, whistled the wrong the note. Then I whistled the song again just by myself and I heard the same weird clash. So after some more whistling and so forth I determined that I was actually hearing a fixed pitch on top of what I was whistling. In short if I whistle one pitch, I hear two, the pitch I'm whistling and another fixed pitch. I can change the pitch I'm whistling and the fixed pitch remains, well fixed even when I move the whistled pitch quickly. It's pretty strong too (the fixed pitch, I can hear it very clearly.) My wife…

I have a bunch of baseball cards that could have some value. Does anyone here have experience selling cards? Is there a good site that gives ballpark values to cards? Basically, help me sell these things so I can buy MOAR GEAR! Thanks.

Jim Carroll, poet and punk, passed away Friday at the age of 60. Probably most famous for "The Basketball Diaries", I'll remember him for the "Catholic Boy" album - a sweet taste of late 70's NYC punk. "They were all my friends, and they died." NYT Obit

I woke up to this. Pretty cool and mostly harmless since it is situated right between two glaciers which means little to no flooding.

Hope you've had a great day, Squire Doug, and that your evening is memorable if not remembered. Cheers!

Hope you have a great Birthday Todd! Hope you have your cake and eat it too... ...at least I think that's a cake. Nice colour on those headphones.

Have a fantastic day!

Mock thread, nothing to see here, move along.

Have a fantastic day Chris!

Happy Birthday Shelly. Have yourself an incredible day. Do something selfish today, like buying plaid. Every good lesbian owns plaid!

I just had to re-install windows after a harddrive failure (thank christ I had my music backed up on another drive). I really don't want to set foobar up again. I'd like to steal your components folder and any other file I'd need to have your setup. All I am looking for is and setup were the music is organized by artist and album I don't care about anything else. It would be nice it it looked pretty but I just want foobar back. Thanks, aaron. It was about a year ago that I looked everything up and got it just how I like it but now I've forgotten everything and really don't want to go through that again. P.S. it can be sent to my gmail address which is; aaronco…

So, went out for a "thinking" walk this morning and as I look up to the sky... saw not one, but two (out of the 21 total) B-2 bombers flying over Bethesda. Pretty impressive, and cool. It is not everyday one sees $4.2 billion flying being operated by a grand total of 4 people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-2_Spirit

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.

So I just got done reading a blog calling out Head-Fi and this forum was mentioned. I decided to join since I have noticed the same trends on Head-Fi. as the blogger. I was looking for a no bullshit forum where I could discuss audio equipment in detail and hear opinions from others on certain equipment (namely expensive cables, headphones etc). When I joined, I immediately read the welcome message and thought "this sounds like the place for me"... However, after searching for the threads linked on the blog I mentioned, I was surprised to find them all gone. What gives? I also noticed in the welcome message that it stated "this wasn't a place to sell your shit" but i'm…

Do something fun today!

Happy Birthday Beefy. Good news. The federales have stopped looking for you down here in the antipodes. It's safe to come back.
