Happy Birthday, Ken!

So last night I went to my wife's office Christmas party. There I met her supervisor and the supervisor's husband who also works there....yeah, he and his wife work together. Turns out she was his assistant until she got pregnant....then she was promoted and became his wife. ANYWAY.... the husband is quite possibly the biggest douchebag I've ever met...nay, he's a meta-douchebag. He is the douchebag from which all other douchebags are determined. Everything he said was awful, awful to his wife, awful to his mother (who owns the company), awful to other coworkers (not my wife though she she doesn't work for him). After the evening was through I thought o…

Any suggestions on how to properly clean out a battery compartment that had a minor battery leak? There's not much residue, but was curious what my best options are.

So a few days back all of my analog channels up and vanished leaving me with only the digital channels. I thought perhaps the cable was just screwy with the weather but now it has been a few days. I know in a few years that they have to go all digital but this does not appear to be a step in that direction as the channels I lost are not back in digital form. Any ideas? Cable people are worthless here.

So, this happened on a different headphone forum to go unamed... I've been looking pretty hard for an RS1 for a while..And I see one pop up so I immediately shoot the guy a PM saying I definately want them. Explain how hard I've been looking for them and so on. So, he replies with his Paypal address. I shoot him one back saying I'm waiting on a refund to come back into my account and if he would mind waiting for me to send the payment until tomorrow. (This whole time I'm talking to a friend of mine from the same site over AIM..he's been trying to help me find an RS1 also.) So the friend I'm talking to says he'll lend me the money to just pay in full tonight, so the sel…

I was cleaning out my ears and my sink in my second bathroom doesn't drain well and started to fill up. I foolishly had my Zen on the towel rack right above the sink and of course in fell right in. I was only submerged for a second or two but that was enought for it to start flashing primary colours and then settle on the color pink for a while and then switch to blue and then black. I immediately opened it up and dried out all the water I could see. I put it on one of the air induction vents for the central heating in hopes that it will dry out all the way and work in a few hours. We'll see! This could be the excuse I've been looking for to buy a new portable. The pr…

I think it's time to retire my crappy digital watch, so after some light research it seems an Omega should be a decent middle ground watch for the mean time. But I still don't know much about its movement, and I don't really want to start poking around on watch forums Is it possible to get an Omega (basic stainless steel) for around $1300 new, preferably from an AD? How frequently will they need to be serviced? How durable is the watch face? I should add, that I prefer a conservative look, one that will go well with slacks/shirt and tie, scrubs, jeans, etc. Any other recommendations or advice about these watches or any others in my price range? Thanks guys.

Looks like head-fi is back in business. I've got all my parts intact, but I went from a Headphoneus Supremus to a 100+ Member! Oh well... Doesn't look like I'm alone in that boat. In the end, this has worked out great, cause now I found another great headphone site!

I know most of you guys don't care, but I was wondering if anyone knows why head-fi is down and when it might be up?

Question that doesnt deserve its own thread: What programs do you guys use to download podcasts? I tried Juice and for some reason it doesnt work with my computer and I'm too lazy to try to fix it and I dont really want itunes on my comp

Okay after finding this place just recently, and then jumping back and forth to the other forum (HF), I am starting to loose patience with the other place. Does any of those fuckers know how to use the search function. Surely by now everybody ought to fucking have a pretty good idea of what the "best closed headphone under $100" is, or even the "best portable amp under $150" is.

is it that you are that vain and shallow? is it what defines who you are? or some other reason? mjb [requested edit for mjb] it was an assholefacish thing of me to do... i appologize to anyone i've offended and/or pissed off. sorry. p.s. i'd put this in the first post if i could edit... mjb

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/arts/music/25tomm.html?pagewanted=1&ref=music Every time I read an article in a mainstream media about sound quality, it inevitably gets the whole thing wrong.

I was inspired by an old group buy thread here http://www.head-case.org/index.php/topic,171.0.html For a laugh, here are some of my ideas.... Gimme' head-case.org Last night I got online at head-case.org My wife gave me headphones for my birthday. Read about it at head-case.org I give great head-phone advice at head-case.org These were created using http://www.uberprints.com/

PJ's Magick Kingdom Adventure, OR the big TGiving Disney World Trip Catching my connecting flight in Hotlanta Joja atm. Saw one of these pay terminals and thought I'd get on to say hello! The metal keyboard on this bitch is badass, I want to have stainless keys at my home. The big news is I got to test out my ER4P on the flight up, and it was a fantastic experience! I listened to several dead jams and was very impressed at the sound. Really everything was in its right place, PERFECT highs, nice bass, neutral mids. All in all the whole shuffle -> er4p experience was strongly reminiscent of the HP2 out of a home amp, only with less detail, more soundstage smearing…
