iGod My transcript: Here are some more. I've only read the first one. There are some funny moments: And my absolute favourite exchange:

My latest baby is a tiny little black and white four year old with a lot of Maine Coon in him: Ghost is a tiny little thing, weighing a bit over 21 pounds. The other cats here weren't happy about another one coming in, but he's too big for them to do anything about it. Things have calmed down, and the other cats have more or less accepted him (probably better than they accept each other). The big guy is a dedicated lap cat, and likes to help me at the computer. He's a big friendly cat, and he's finally found a permanent home.

Hey guys, anyone of you live within driving distance of SAN RAFAEL, CA (94901) ? I want to buy a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1 book shelf speakers from someone who lives there, but the buyer prefers local pick up over international shipping. Does anyone mind helping me pick them up and then shipping it to me? I'd be really grateful if someone here could lend me a helping hand. You can have fun with the speakers in your system, and then when you're done with it, all I need is for you to help ship them off to me. I really, really want these speakers, have been searching for some time now; its impossible to get them over here. Any help you guys can throw my way would be …

Buon Compleanno! Dino.

Interesting to note the level of detail in the US/non-US Reports David Carradine Dead, Star of "Kung Fu" and the "Kill Bill" Found Hanging in Bangkok Hotel Room - ABC News "other body parts" David Carradine found dead in wardrobe of Bangkok hotel - Telegraph Earlier reports were more specific, but I can understand discretion at such a time.

I got an order for some ceramic dildos from some progressive sex toy stores in the northwest. I thought you guys would find it amusing. If they sell I'll be able to afford the HD800's in no time. They can hold a vibrating egg and they have a base that will fit most strap-on harnesses in case any of you are interested. They just came off of the wheel so they haven't been fired yet which I probably won't do until I can figure out some safe and perfectly smooth glazes to put on them.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, I had ordered a Thorens turntable from an e-bayer. The table (from the pics) looked to be in good order. I "sniped" the table at around $150. I was filled with excitement! I pleaded with the seller to disassemble it for shipping. But, alas, I guess to save money, he did not. When the table arrived, everything seemed alright. But I immediately noticed the idiot refused to listen to me when I pleaded with him to remove the platter from the main unit and pack it separately. Having room to move about, the platter completely sheared off the pulley system from the motor. I was both angry and sad. Worst of all, the table was sold AS-IS. …

Happy birthday, fellow graduate!

Inspired by recent goings on in the Slow Forum thread, I was reminded of the joy that are Collective Nouns. There are plenty of examples out there, both real and imagined. Any that you particularly like, or are apposite for this forum or its members? Some I could think of were An asylum of head-casers. A dazzle of Justin's Designs. A of Ray Samuels Designs ? For the brits amongst us, given recent economic developments A wunch of bankers. For the Developers: [*]Collection<Object> Maybe Vicki has a few favo(u)rites from her former professional role.

Never heard of these AKG K 940 wireless headphones. Anyone tried them? 10 Amazing Gadgets You Can't Get Here - PC World

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?

Ari tried to go stealth, but his HF profile pops him up for the big day today. Have a good one and I hope you find a willing pair of headphones to share your joy with. Cheers!

Have a great one Matt!

Happy birthday to you! Hope you have a wonderful day.

Internet Flaming May Become Illegal - Tom's Guide

My father, Lt Col. Kenneth Mueller (I'm actually the II), passed away today at 3:15 PDT. He almost made his 90th birthday, which is May 29. He had a great life, cheated death many times and died quietly at home, as was his wish. He was a veteran of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I would just like to ask HCers to send some good thoughts his way and for the drinkers to drink something in his honor. Thanks. See you at CanJam.

For those of you that are familiar with the area, I would love to hear some feedback. The wife and I are looking to go to San Diego for a little trip in the summer during break. A couple of days, nothing crazy. My wife loves the beach and is a stickler for staying in a "clean" area, whatever that means:palm: I was thinking Mission Bay area. Thanks for any thoughts you can share.

You know, sometimes their descriptions are just plain daft, but I particularly enjoyed this one. I mean, instead of getting all technical, they just took what was going to be the definitive misinterpretation of things, and embraced it.

I'm going there this fall for U of C's MA program, and I'm just wondering if anyone here knows anything about the neighborhood, like where it's good to eat/drink, which areas to avoid. Really, any knowledge is appreciated.
