Since using Windows 7 ... about two years now, I've been mostly happy (I've been on the same original install since Jan of 2011, when I built my current 2700K music/gaming machine and things are clicking along fine thus far). But one process I've always wanted to streamline was the switching among various audio devices (since Windows 7, and I think that trash heap that was Vista, introduced a more granular approach to audio channel management, which, in the long run is a good thing but it also brings with it some tedium). Typically, one must right click the default Windows 7 speaker icon in the task bar, then select "playback devices" and then select whatever pl…

Let the whisky flow! Have a good one.

Have an incredible day Adam!

Have a fantastic day!

I hope you have a great day!

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | The golden age of infinite music Interesting article, pondering on the change from a situation of Artificial scarcity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to a completely infinite online jukebox, where the limiting resource is no longer your money (or lack of it), but your time. Given that you could listen to "anything ever recorded", what would drive your selection process? Familiarity? peer pressure? marketing? social networking?, statistical patterns? "Other people who listened to this, also listened to ..." Indeed, when faced with The Tyranny of Choice: Scientific American do you yearn for a benevolent celstial DJ? Charlie Brooke…

Shades of Rodney Dangerfield. I have an opportunity to get Java programming certification starting this fall. I haven't been in a classroom for I dunno how many years. Of course, I'm less worried about the time away from yardwork and housework, and more concerned about being away from inhaling solder. I'm just finishing the never ending parts list for my Bijou. Gah! Oh well, I guess pc boards don't spoil in the back of the fridge. Actually might be fun, though. I'm in QA, so now the devs here will be less likely to try to sneak shit past me.

Sorry for the lengthy post to follow, but I took the 2008 Outlook in today for a noisy power steering pump, and ended up test driving a 2008 Infiniti G35x all wheel drive that I really liked. I'd really appreciate some advice from you level-headed people about maybe buying it, or not. I didn't want to clog up the "last thing you bought" thread with this, but that was where we talked a little about a "next car" recently and got me started. The G has 31,450 miles and has most options except navigation, and very nice new Michelin all season tires that look like they'd be good on the occasional snow we get here. And I got them down from $28,988 to $27,500 + $2,000 cash-…

Happy Birthdays!

Congrats on being vintage, my fiend!

Happy birthday Mikey! Cheers!

I'd love to be a part of something like that if it exists but does it? I tried a google search but came up with zilch. do you know of anything?

This has to be the best thing on the McDonalds menu, and also the only thing that probably won't lead to an early death. What you have is a reasonably sized small meal or snack (about 300 calories, similar to a large bowl of cereal) consisting of sliced apples which have been dipped in some preservative to keep their color and crunchiness, salted or sweetened walnuts, and a vanilla yogurt. I like to dip the apple slice in the yogurt, then stick a walnut on top of it, then eat it. It's a good combination. Also, each fruit & walnut salad is wrapped in plastic so you can stock up and keep them in your fridge. Hard to beat at $1.90 each (offer not valid in AK or HI) Mo…

Happy birthdays!

Matt the Younger is another year older! Enjoy the new Transporter if my understanding/assumption is correct. I quaff my last bit of Racer 5 in your honor, and will try to work a Pliny into the day tomorrow somehow. Wish you were going to be here for the music festival this weekend. Should be epic. Cheers! Oh yeah, and don't get all excited and go parasailing in a hurricane or even a tropical storm.

Sennheiser just tweeted this: http://app.e2ma.net/app2/campaigns/archived/25524/ebcb50cdb65b1b5d52d152eea24929e5/ Most interesting.

Happy 23rd Birthday! Damn you're gettin' old!

Greetings Head-casers, I was just wondering if anyone here had sold or posted any of their gear using Audiogon auctions. I'm in a bit of a situation because I need to sell my preamp as fast as possible in order to fund some textbook purchases for school. I have a standard listing up at Audiogon, but was considering taking it down for an auction to speed up the sale. What do you guys think?

Just found this funny somehow Monks brawl before religious ceremony - CNN.com I wonder WWJD

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.
