I went out to the mailbox today, and heard a little rustling in the bushes next to the house. Knew immediately, and visually verified it was Momma Rabbit, who is a regular in the hood. I see her out grazing every night, and it makes for a country feel in the middle of Dallas... along with the squirrels, hawks (that love squirrels and rabbits), and the occasional bobcat, who loves anything furry, including household pets. Well, I step into the bushes trying to get Momma to move along, but, I think the babies were close by, and, perhaps her burrow (or one of) is next to my house - haven't yet checked. So, Raoul, http://home.swbell.net/pabbi/Raoul1c.jpg, goes out late …

Hey guys, just felt like bragging... some of you might recall i've been searching since I graduated in May. i just landed a pretty decent job doing software development. The company provides email hosting sort of similar to Gmail and has some pretty good clients. It's a very small startup (5 years old I feel). They are very enthusiastic abotu having me aboard, and hired me mostly for my personality (more so then my non-existant pro experience in coding). I am so dam psyched u guys got no idea... After like 15 interviews this summer I just about had it. I've heard just about every excuse for No, lots of people just refusing to call me back, and idiotic head hunters t…

The boy wants to be Dr. Horrible for Halloween and of course waited until now to figure out the costume. The "Howie" lab coat below is the preferred style, although buttons would be even better than snaps apparently, but to get it in time will be over $100 of shipping. Any of you scientific type 'Casers have access to such a coat that you could FedEx to me? Willing to pay but thinking that $100+ for shipping is a bit much. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.

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 …

It's true. The passing of a legend.

Have a phenomenal day!

Have an incredible day Renato!

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.

This will sound damn cheesy, but I love this country. Those of you who know my story of why/how I came to the States will understand my sentiments a bit better. My life would have been much different had I not come here. Happy 4th, everyone!

Congrats on being vintage, my fiend!

Parasound has amazing Customer Service. After a google search I was unable to find a schematic for my Parasound DAC. Failing that, this past Saturday, I sent an email to their service department. Within minutes Richard replied that he would look when he got into the office on Monday. I was surprised at the quick response, and on a Saturday at that. Today, Sunday, I received an email from Tony with the schematic attached. How's that for customer service?

How is it that we have gone this long without a thread for puns? Was it oversight, or simply good taste? I thought this kickstarter campaign was a little fishy and wanted to share with you: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2078545510/the-salmon-leather-project

Happy birthday, you elusive bastard! @nikongod

I hope the two of you have a fantastic time!

Man! Just started playing around with Drupal ... what a friggen cool tool. I really can't believe such a powerful piece of software exists for free. And it works, too. Anybody else feeling droopy?

I just accepted an offer at Capcom Mobile (Burlington, ON). http://www.capcommobile.com/ It's my first gaming job, woot! Biggie.

Donor has been pretty active in the "for sale" areas on Head-Fi. Well, turns out our boy donor is pulling a fast one on us. He runs the headphone product review site www.headphonesrock.com. He talks to manufacturers to get review samples and then turns around and sells them to folks here. We just caught him red handed. He had the gaul to have us ship the unit directly to the buyer saying the buyer was a reviewer ... which of course he wasn't. Un-friggen-believable! One wonders if he was going to just steal our product copy writing and print it as his review, after all, he was never even going to listen to the amp. NEVER EVEN GOING TO LISTEN TO THE AMP! He's not even a des…

because i said so.

what's up, guys -- mjg gave me an invite to this place, because i need a break from head-fi... i am ready to speak my mind and to show you guys what the real deal is. i don't really know what that means, but i wanted to say it! scott
