Have a good one Julian. Are you still thinking about making it up north for the August 8 meet? If so, I'll buy you a beer. Cheers!

Have a phenomenal day Ryan!

So are you just as good at keeping your birthday a secret as I am or did I miss something? You and the wifey going out on the town to celebrate or are you staying home enjoying the new pad? Well, whatever you do I hope you have a good one.

I just got spam email from CEntrance. They referred to HF to help sell their product. The only place I can think of where they could have gotten my email addy is HF. Has anybody else received this spam? I guess it's time to delete my account on HF.

Happy Birthday! Hope your day was warm, dry, and full of good music, food and drink....

Happy Birthday, Ken!

Happy Birthday Chris! Hope it's a great day, and life is going well!

Hey all, I am flying this afternoon and am planning on bringing my portable headphone amp in my carry on bag. I won't have any full size cans, just my IEMs with me (which might make explaining what it is even harder). Has anyone had problems getting through security with one? It does look rather odd if you don't know what it is, especially when tethered to my ipod and there is a LOD between them.

today is 7/11 -- 7-11 is offering 1 free 7.11 oz slurpee per location. if you live near several 7-11s, you could drive around and collect several slurpees.

How come the register button is disabled? Trying to get gopher registered here and it just isn't working.

I always find this day sad, but this year is more poignant to me due to the 30th anniversary attention, etc. Growing up, I lived on the 22nd floor of the building next door to the Dakota. We saw John and Yoko with some frequency. I later went to grammar school with their son. They were unpretentious, unassuming, and decent. And for the most part, it appeared that most in the neighborhood gave them at least some space. I was in my PJs getting ready for bed the night John Lennon was murdered--I was 8 years old. I heard the shots. I didn't know what they were--amazingly I had never heard gunshots even in NYC through the 70s. They went "crack!" not that enhanced ec…

So looks like I will be working in DC next year, and now I have to start thinking about where to live. I prefer to be in DC, where there is easy access to the metro because I won't have a car, and my work places is near the Hill. Basically I am wondering if any of the DC/MD area folks can give me some advice, like where NOT to live if I don't want to be shot and so forth. Thanks.

Happy Birthday, man.

In my case, Before I automatically started ordering an isolation platform with any disc player. Before I lined up several portables in a level-matched (to sub-0.5dbs), blind-switch test. After all, if you're going to do it, you might as well do it properly unlike the fanboys. Before I could quite breezily say spending $10K on a used headphone was not entirely unjustifiable. Before I knew what word clocks were. Before Geekophilia. I think I might finally be approaching that phase.

Considering getting one (Bosch brand) as an upgrade to go with the soon to be installed completely new furnace and AC system. Sounds awesome. Energy savings, save money after several years, current rebate from ComEd, and we have wind sourced electricity. Especially concerned about reliability and durability due to Chicago winters. Also a new model and apparently the first that can be used with any other brand AC/furnace. Anyone have experience?

So last Friday I get a notice at my apartment that says they're checking everyone's fire extinguisher to make sure they're all up to spec. No biggie. Cleaned up everything, left the extinguisher on the counter just like they asked... no problem. I get home about 6:45pm tonight. Never guess what I find in my lock? Their copy of my key... on their keyring... in the lock... my door unlocked as well. Guess I should consider myself fortunate that no one grabbed any of my stuff. Unbelievable. I'm gonna play stupid and let them think they lost it.

Happy Birthday Mike!

It was great to spend a few days with you Doug. Have a phenomenal day! You are officially old.

Have an incredible day!

There is a beep coming from somewhere in my house that I can't pinpoint. It's 3 beeps about 1/2 a second apart with one silent beat between them. It's high pitched like a fire detector but with beeps and not a solid tone. It's been going on since I got home form work today and I"m going to kill myself if I can't find it soon. I can't enjoy my beloved hd650's with this donkey fucking beep boring a hole in my brain. There's never been a worse time to be an obsessive compulsive than right now.

Hope you had a fantastic Birthday Bonnie!
