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.

One of my close friend's companies was nominated for a "Green Log Award". You can go to go greenlogawards.com/nominees-2008/cabinetry/ (to vote) And check out Young's Furniture. They're a really great group of people. I've known him for ten years and him and his dad have put a lot of work into the company. He's a pretty selfless guy, and they've done countless things to give back to the community. Just as an example- one of their older employees was diagnosed with throat cancer and the founder of the company (my friend's dad) is continuing to provide for him and his family and has promised to help out financially long after this gentleman has passed on. This sort of ge…

Hey everybody, I'm looking for an invite to Pedro's BTmusic tracker, which has a great amount of music, I think mostly in lossless; a friend told me that it was maybe one of the best trackers for music... I had an account on Oink but since it's dead I can't really find rare music in good quality. I'm a music addict, and I really want to join that BTmusic... so could anyone invite me on that tracker? Thanks, Tim PS: I'm french, so sorry if you don't understand anything...!

So, I have tickets to see jazz legend and really old guy Charles Lloyd tomorrow night. He is playing with Jason Moran, Eric Harland and Reuben Rogers, a killer quartet. He is not and all-time favorite of mine, but he is great and, as mentioned, really old. I have seen several jazz greats shortly before their deaths and I try to see the old guys when they are around for this reason in addition to their music. The dilemma arose today because a buddy just sold his guitar to a guy who works on the Ray Davies tour. He offered him tickets and possibly back-stage passes for the Ray Davies show tomorrow night. Because my buddy cannot go, the guy said I could take the tickets. …

Where you go? Is this hide and seek?

I've decided after reading the "i guess i listen really loud" thread that I'd temporarily donate my sound level meter to who ever wants to use it. That way anyone that wants to determine safe listening levels can do just that. You won't have to worry any more if you're destroying your hearing. Here is what I propose. I'll ship it to the the first person that wants it. After they're done they'll ship it to the next person on the list, so on and so forth until it gets shipped back to me in the end. This is presuming that anybody is interested.

Well, you're both old, and since you've had years of practice, you might as well celebrate right. Hope you have a great day!

Seems like some bright spark decided it would be a great idea to move all the sponsor panels and other shite to the left of the pages instead of the right. Now I have to scroll over for every page I look at because you can't collapse them. Fucking place was bad enough before. I give up.

It's true. The passing of a legend.

Its my junior year of college and I've been thinking of either grad school for biomedical engineering (which is what my major is right now) or medical school. In terms of requirements, I'm pretty set in either direction, but I need to study for the MCATs if I decide to apply for med school. I'm pretty set for GREs. I'm not fantastic in bio but I'm decent enough to scrounge a B+ in it So if youve been to med school (ojnihs, deepak) and can give me some advice, or if you know any awesome doctor jokes, please post them

Here to celebrate is a trifecta of videos from my city of Mobile, AL! First, the original newscast: Second, the hip hop version: Third, the drum n bass version (nice intro here): Note that the leprechaun was sighted mere blocks from my current residence!

I need a new desk/office chair something sturdy and very comfortable. Any suggestions?

Just curious? I ran across a pair I had from 6th grade in some old boxes at my parents house.. still wondering why they went out of style. Also got to ponder why there are so many zippers, yet so few pockets. Beat Street II, Electric Boogaloo - saw it in the theaters.

Dammit, don't you hate when you get to work (after a weekend of not shaving) and realize you missed a huge patch somewhere on your face? Bleh. Monday's suck... and worse yet, am hour was stolen from me this weekend.

Ok, so I think I've found my new apartment [will know for sure on tuesday], and I've been thinking over what I want to do with regards to my home theatre. Here is what I am considering: 1. Get a LCD or Plasma or whatever [flat screen, at least 40" WS and wall mountable] that has wicked upsampling and lots of inputs. Make sure that my DVD player either has no upsampling or that it is defeatable. 2. Get a LCD or Plasma or whatever [flat screen, at least 40" WS and wall mountable] that has no upsampling or defeatable upsampling and only requires one DVI input. Make sure that my DVD player either has no upsampling or that it is defeatable. Purchase one of these: http://…

So, on the day that my damaged transport is picked up (yesterday) I find out that UPS has decided to play kick-ball with the beta22 that I shipped out last week. Now today I hear back about the damage claim to the transport, which of course they denied sighting "insufficient packaging" and "no damage to packaging". Oh, sweet. I guess that custom cut 2" thick foam inserts and double boxing are now deemed insufficient packaging in their mind. And the entire corner of the box crushed 1" (through both boxes) qualifies as "no damage". I hope the guy who sold this to me is a good lawyer... Now, onto the beta22 that I had professional packed. Evidently they managed to treat t…
