One more KGSShv onboard that I made for a friend

The problem is the fucking ugly-ass headphone jack. [emoji35]

There are a few Ikea hackers making spherical-ish speakers out of bowls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJVOJk3F2r0

i have this and have been meaning to read it. total tangent, but this is maybe the best feeling physical book i have. the texture and density of the paper, the way the cover folds out (its orange on the inside of the cover, becomes 4 pages wide). it's art. it feels so amazing in the hand. i can totally picture my professors spending an entire class talking about this back at UMBC.

i know it isn't the same without the driver, but someone needs to make an open source version of this box http://www.voxativ.com/en/loudspeakers/ampeggio-due-2/ it could be done with two hundred bucks worth of wood. i think. plexi version which shows the simplicity of recreating the design. http://www.voxativ.com/en/loudspeakers/acrylic-due/

Just finished How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea. It's set after the Newsflesh trilogy, and it's very good.

Or as good as some are claiming.

It was a Jolida integrated (JD102B) and Spendor S3/5? speakers -- my first audiophile system. I added my own subwoofer, because I was too cheap to buy theirs (I think theirs was a Bag End Infrasub, mine was a Sunfire Sub Jr., which worked just fine when it was between the CD player and the integrated, plus tiny room). But honestly, I think it was just that my old system had deteriorated so radically, and it was such a large step to a full-frequency-bandwidth system. Plus, the recording was fantastic -- I think it was some straight-to-two-channel jazz thing. Plus, tubes.

One time, a long time ago I used to smoke and work retail. There was this cashier who would smoke like 5 packs of cigarettes a day. He was NOTORIOUS for bumming cigarettes off of others. I'm not saying I'm a saint, and I eventually took to buying PACKS of cigarettes for others to hold (no joke) to stop but this guy was a menace. So, at this job you got 2 10-minute breaks, one before lunch, one after. Pretty standard, I guess. This guy, the cashier would show up to work early, CHAINSMOKE like 4 or 5 cigarettes, and then take the absolute first 10-minute break. He would regularly smoke 2 cigarettes in 10 min, and could probably do 3 if nobody was looking. Anything he could do to get another cigarette - he was on it. Need someone to gather shopping carts when its like 50 degrees below zero, and windy as fuck - he would be happy to go. Anyways. One day, I'm out there having my lunch, sitting on a fire-exit, having a Marlboro Red cigarette and lunch with one of my other co-workers. And, wouldn't you know it but this guy walks over and asks "what you smkoking" Just like that while holding a pack of (some green who knows whats) and we tell him "Marlboro Reds" to which he replies, in one single breath: "Uggh, Reds? Those are disgusting! Can I have one?" Yea, we gave him a cigarette. The story above about someone telling you your shit is fake, and in the same breath asking to buy is made me think of this. I apologize for not being as good of a story teller as Alex.

This is at home, fiber for the fucking win!!
