Not quite. I have a Shapeoko which is the less automated predecessor to the Carvey that Inventables helped develop, and I use their Easel software. And Zach, who owns Inventables, is a friend of mine.

I am about 50/50, but if I go it will be as a civilian. Nate (and Todd & son, of course) you are welcome to crash here.

Strong recommendation to make a bushing from Delron instead of steel or aluminum. Or at least use a Delron rod. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-acetal-homopolymer-rods

I generally like the underdog, and I definitely like small ball, but I am still bitter over 1985

My cousin has been re-added to the Oriole's roster. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-orioles-add-lefthander-brian-matusz-to-alcs-roster-replacing-righthander-ubaldo-jimenez-20141010,0,2529743.story

Sorry for your loss, Todd.

There is likely a current source amp in the future. It is not first in line, though, as I am always hesitant on it as it is in the realm of probably too weird to sell. And I just got some crazy custom made (amorphous) iron from Lundahl which is part of the next project. I am hoping to have a prototype of that one at the NYC/CT meet on Nov 15th ... maybe.

Yup. Great combination. The one I've been playing with lately is tube, but I also did one using Gary Pimm's solid state "pentodes" which was fun.

I've been using mine with an amp with an output impedance of around 40,000 Ohms ... I tend to think it is lack of feedback and not high impedance that matters more.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I took it as a sign that it was time for this year's flu shot.

From reading a little, it seem like you can, but this does not strike me as particularly secure. For instance, if you allow Program X free access because you trust it and Program X turns out to have a security issue, then Program Y can take advantage of that by utilizing Program X to send its data with neither you nor your firewall the wiser. So you still have to be vigilant as to what is running on your computer.

Are there any Windows firewalls that don't do this? The built-in firewall in Windows 7 will work at the program level, as will pretty much any off the shelf ones I have seen.

Pffft. I have an old half frame that shoots vertical. Awesome camera.

Happy Birthday!

Interference here would mean crosstalk, and since you are summing them, you are causing 100% crosstalk anyway. I think you are fine. And, if there is nothing inside the subwoofer to dissipate a bunch of heat, then the Zin is likely high. You can most likely resistance measure across the input to find this out.

Happy Birthday!

Other than the prototype. I assume I'll sell it off at some point, but for now I am using it
