Hope you have a great one!

I just had to re-install windows after a harddrive failure (thank christ I had my music backed up on another drive). I really don't want to set foobar up again. I'd like to steal your components folder and any other file I'd need to have your setup. All I am looking for is and setup were the music is organized by artist and album I don't care about anything else. It would be nice it it looked pretty but I just want foobar back. Thanks, aaron. It was about a year ago that I looked everything up and got it just how I like it but now I've forgotten everything and really don't want to go through that again. P.S. it can be sent to my gmail address which is; aaronco…

I have a pair of two year old, Sennheiser HD650's with the usual flaking enamel around the headband. There is also a piece of enamel that's flaked off on the back side of the ear cup joint. Pricing this is pretty easy. Here's the part I need help with. It will also come with a 1.2 meter Zu Mobius cable terminated in a mini. Sick I know but I just wanted to see if I liked the mobius sound and at the time my only amp was the SR-71. The mobius came up rather cheap and I decided to buy it. I will also be shipping it with the original cable, mini < 1/4 adapter and original box. I even put a fancy latch on the box for transport. How the hell should I price these?

Always liked watching NFL games with him and John Madden doing the play by play. Much preferable to Cosell, Meredith, etc., at least for me. Not mentioned in a couple of articles was his announcing of the Masters golf tournament for 20+ years, always (IIRC) with Ken Venturi. RIP...

Have a spectacular day!

TRUE STORY (HAPPENED LAST WEEK'S FRIDAY AT WORK). : "Alright guys, see ya around, and enjoy your lunch!" I picked up after myself, heading out the door with my carry-on lunch bag. My colleagues waved good-byes. As I opened the door, I saw her figure a few feet in front of me: Christina was walking down the hall. Christina is an unmistakable young little beauty. She is one of those women you simply just look at and do not want to touch in fear that when you do, she will forever vanish in a puff of smoke, leaving you wondering why the gods played such cruel jokes on us mortals. But this was no vision: there she was, walking down the corridor towards her cubicle.…

Have the best day!

Hey guys, anyone of you live within driving distance of SAN RAFAEL, CA (94901) ? I want to buy a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1 book shelf speakers from someone who lives there, but the buyer prefers local pick up over international shipping. Does anyone mind helping me pick them up and then shipping it to me? I'd be really grateful if someone here could lend me a helping hand. You can have fun with the speakers in your system, and then when you're done with it, all I need is for you to help ship them off to me. I really, really want these speakers, have been searching for some time now; its impossible to get them over here. Any help you guys can throw my way would be …

... cannot believe all these other sites discriminating against me for how far away I live or how fast I want something.

"Tell me there's a girl outside right now waiting to tounge my balls!" I'm so pumped for this new season. I plan on getting all excited and shooting holes in my walls with a 9mm tonight Also, who can identify the quote?

Hey, I sort of got donated a hp pavillion flat panel (actually I had to buy the AC adapter, but still not bad). I want to use this as a tv in my bedroom @ parents house... I rather use it as a dedicated TV since I already have another 2 flat panels on my machine... I've been trying to research these units and can't find any real info/reviews. I got some decent info on this viewsonic unit http://cgi.ebay.com/Viewsonic-NextVision-N5-TV-Tuner-FOR-ANY-LCD-MONITOR_W0QQitemZ8814322618QQcategoryZ99228QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem anyone familiar with this viewsonic nextvision n5, or n4 ??

Gun backfires as car-repair tool Who's the lugnut here? I guess heightened wisdom and advancement in age do necessarily correlate.

Just read the following interview of the founder of Dwolla - an online payment company that has a very simple fee structure. Twenty-five cents. Transaction for $50? $.25 fee. Transaction for $5000? $.25 fee. The catch? No credit cards. But read the article. Those of us who have sold or bought high ticket items have been through the PayPal fee shit, and these guys seem to want to beat that. I have zero affiliation with them, other than I just opened an account after reading the info. So take a look - it might be very useful. I saw it originally on BoingBoing. http://www.businessi...w-years-2011-11

Happy Birthdays!

Too bad about his passing yesterday. I can't believe his wife, which he was in divorce proceedings with, actually tried to tell the judge that he wasn't as sick as he was making out to be. If you saw him on Hollywood Blvd., you could see he was pretty frail. RIP Dennis.

Holy shit. It blew my mind. The best movie I've seen in a long time. I have to see Shaun of The Dead and all that other stuff now.

Anyone else been kinda interested in todays Dominique Strauss-Kahn reporting? http://media.nybooks.com/strauss.html (seems to be getting hammered and can't find a cached copy - summary: http://t.co/NZ4rbwHl ).

In case you guys missed it, here's an interesting interview/breakdown of the case. Video is priceless.

If so could someone mail me a copy? I don't mind burning a few and sending them out to whoever wants one.

Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, Australian media said. He was 44. The guy was over the top but man, I enjoyed his enthusiasm! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/ap_on_en_tv/obit_irwin

http://www.techthefuture.com/technology/swarm-of-quadrotors-performs-awesome-laser-show-video/ I saw this today and thought I would share it. I think it is pretty cool. The second video is of them doing the James Bond theme and is just as cool.

It's hard for me to pick but I think this one takes the cake.
