<rant> Could they stop with the freaking downtime every day or so? It always seems to happen when I'm right in the middle of writing a long PM or post, or when some Google search that I really want to see links there. I mean seriously, with all the advertising and donations, they should have nice servers, right? </rant>

Drop a few classes so I have a better chance of transferring to Curtis or Juilliard? Auditions are coming up in about a month. I'm currently taking 8.

Where do you guys get your packing stuff? I don't have any from stuff I've gotten, which is what I normally use, and the post office is way too expensive for the tiny amount of stuff you get.

33? Dom, I think it's about time you join the ranks of a responsible adult. Let me have your stash and I will make sure it is diposed of properly. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday! How did my post become #1?

I was playing around in the User CP a couple of weeks ago and came across a page where I could edit the custom title below my username. So I entered "Baby Elephant" because I'm a baby elephant. Now, I'm thinking of changing it, maybe to "Awesome Baby Elephant" or "Super Cool Baby Elephant" or something cool-sounding like that. But I can't find that custom title editing page anymore. Where did it go?

Hi! Brand new to this forum, found it after being on headfi for 4 years. Curious as to what makes this forum stand out over headfi? Can we discuss cable DBT here?

Happy birthday Tao and James. I just realized I missed Tao's b-day on HF and tried to correct that but Old Pa had picked it up. Server was too busy to post though. Anyway, hope you each have a fantastic birthday. Cheers!

As usual, the New York Times has an excellent obit... Andrew Wyeth, Famed and Infamous Artist, Dies

Circuit City couldn't find a buyer and is shutting down. Read about it here.

Ricardo Montalban passed away at 88 years of age. Here is the info on msnbc. I'm sure that somewhere he's sitting on a sofa made from rich, Corinthian leather.

Sadly, the Rover must have finally caught up with No. 6 Patrick McGoohan died today after a short illness. I hope he finds out who is No. 1.

Do you guys remember that desktop thing that seemed to abound in the 80s that was filled with blue and clear liquid and tilted back and forth and when it did the blue liquid separated from the clear and created a "wave" effect? Well, what the hell was the blue liquid? I ask because my son just broke a water filled thing that had the same liquid combination, and the contents have a very strong smell. Almost like industrial strength bathroom cleaner, but without ammonia. Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm giving thought to selling my touch.I haven't used it in about a month, and daddy needs an exhaust for his (pending) new bike. I have my mac with me all day at school, and I'm probably going to pickup a shuffle for workouts. I don't know if I need my touch anymore.

I hope the system isn't playing some tricks and it's true it's your day. Have a great one

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!

Well I'm not going to run a HFer of the year thread this year. I'm not on there much, and someone else can take on that role if wanted. I would like to continue the tradition over here however. I'd like to build a stand for the winner, just as I have the last two years over there. However due to my screw up with Voltron last year, I think it would be much better for someone else to take nominations, start the poll and take care of keeping track of the votes. Once decided I'll contact the winner for input into their trophy. Anyone game to take this on?

I imagine you'll be busy tonight setting it up, but keep us posted Mike. I doubt the sandbox will arrive today, but I'll cross my fingers anyway.

Happy birthday Jacob, all the best man!
