Off Topic

Hey guys, New guy here, just found this place recently. I was previously on a *ahem* other forum of the similar nature. I don't have much in terms of setup, with a Sony PCM-D50 as a portable source and a vintage Luxman CD player as desktop. The MDR-EX1000 are probably my "only" headphones. I also have the ER-4PT in a drawer but I rarely listen to that. Don't know what else to say... Anyone else played Fate/stay night here? Have a nice day y'all!

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

Hello my name is Drew, as you all can see I am a new member. I heard about this forum on Head-Fi so I wanted to take a look. How is everyone doing today?

Hello Everybody, My name is George. I have been lurking here for a few months, and have finally decided to join at the suggestion of Guzziguy (Ken). Guzziguy, Fungi, and I live in the same town and have had a few local meets. I have been a HF member for 2-3 years, but I am tired of the same inane debates and fanboys. There is just way too much noise for any real info. A bit of personal info about me: -32 y.o. -PhD in applied physics -Cancer+chemotherapy survivor -Father to a 1.1 y.o. daughter Being a scientific-type, I am allergic to audio snake-oil and psychoacoustic phenomena (e.g. "my tomahawk sounded good at 159 hours but at 713 hours it sounded soooo …

Please post below how you discovered Head-Case. Thanks.

He's arriving on Tuesday via special bus from Alabama. I met his brother, who arrived this past week, and fell in love. I've never had a dog before, but passively wanted one for years. After meeting Henry, his brother, then contacting the breeder and seeing his little guy's pics, I knew he was my dog. I don't know how else to explain it, since I'm as surprised as anyone. He's a Cavaton, half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and half Coton de Tulear. He was born on June 24. This breeder likes to keep them longer for socialization and health checks. He was raised in a house with two kids, five adult dogs, and his litter mates. Supposed, he's the mellowest of the li…

Now I've seen everything. I just received a call from a (800) number to my Verizon cell phone with a pre-recorded message telling me to claim my Verizon wireless reward by logging on to Verizon18.com. I had my doubts, but the website looked identical to the real Verizon website, and when I clicked on certain parts of the fake website such as "customer service," it brought up the reall verizon wireless customer service page, so the scam is designed well. What gave it away was it requiring you to type in the ID, password, then the last 4 of social security number. This now appears very dangerous, and I called Verizon, they confirmed this is not a Verizon website or …

I told the wife I just have to have a Harley Soft Tail. Ed across the street just got one and Bob on the side street just got a Kawasickie. And Mo, down the street just got a Miata. Dear, I need to save face here. The man who dies with the most toys WINS. Ya know? She said "NO". You got ten bad discs in your back and bad hips and knee joints plus at your age you don't belong on a bike. Then she said your John Deere riding lawnmower (RX75 rear engine rider) is 17 years old. Why don't you just get a nifty new lawn mower instead? Doesn't that count as a "Nifty boy toy". I said get rid of my John Deere, oh Lord no. She said "just get a new John Deere, a bigger one or somethi…

The ride is called "Toy Story Mania". This ride looks absolutely awesome. The rendering of the characters and special effects and the interaction from you by shooting targets on the screens as you ride through the attraction looks great I definitely want to check this out one day. http://news.cnet.com/1606-2_3-50002682.html?tag=rsspr.6242048∂=rss&subj=news

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!

I hope I diden't put anybody off from the hobbie at HeadFi with my post. http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=195180

My new kitten arrived Friday night, welcome Kara to the head-case family

I clicked on a link in a google search and found that I can now access the head-fi page after about a 4 month IP ban. It makes me want to create a new account a reek some more high-jinx.

I accidentally ran into this while surfing websites for threaded rods to build my flexy: The H.P. Friedrichs (AC7ZL) Homepage Look at the photo galleries linked at the bottom of that site, some very interesting-looking material there (not necessarily hi-fi, but nonetheless intriguing!). I might look into this sometime in the near-future.

Seeing as the GOP and our President have such low approval ratings these days, and that even elder GOP personalities have warned about a rough election for the Republicans, I was wondering if anyone here, who may have voted Republican in the last couple of elections, is planning on voting differently come November?

So folks really want to work there? No kidding!! Just hope my staff doesn't get any bright ideas!! #1 place to work....and for good reason!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHu3hXSl7M4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHu3hXSl7M4

I have been out of the loop for a week or so. I got to work today and was greeted with this: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/multimedia/os-remembering-chris-hondros-20110421,0,4525593.story (Chris Hondros remembered) Chris Hondros took Joe Raedle's place in Libya. His work, along with Joe's and Carolyn Cole's has always stood out and made me look at the wires, even when I'm working on local copy. Thursday before last, just before I started my time off, one of Hondros' pictures stopped me cold. It was a beautiful (if such a thing is possible), iconic image of a rebel fighter. I switched it to full screen and showed it to the photographer sitting next to me and made a c…

Well I'm heading to NYC (September 24-25) to hang with my favorite west coast lawyer. Any takers for a few pints at Barcade in Brooklyn

Got to see him speak tonight. Unfortunately it was a concession speech, but gg it was still awesome.
