I love some of the things that pop up. I had to go look up some of my favorites and Machina Dynamica seems to be having site issues? They're not too far from me, maybe I should go check on them... Kerry told me about "quantum wood" that I cannot seem to find anymore. That one was in the category of ornaments (in this case a small piece of wood) you put on things to make them "better". EDIT: it was Bybee's "Quantum Signal Enhancer", I should have known. Years ago, at some event, I remember seeing Justin at his booth and he had a pretty nice metal bowl on top of one of his amps. A guy came up and asked about "what does it do? how does it improve the sound quality?? where do I get one???". Justin just went "it's a bowl. for almonds. want some?"

I don't use mesh but I will definitely also recommend Unifi. I have a Cloud Gateway, a U6 WAP and one of their switches. The whole system was a dream to setup and piecemeal upgrade-able should I need it. No required subscriptions or cloud BS either for the security-minded folks.

Guess I need to get a pair of K1000s and start walking around with them. I'll be cool then, right?

Sorry I missed this, I was out of town last weekend for a family wedding. Way less fun.

Yeah, such a weird juxtaposition going on in these images. For some reason the single power cord going straight into the outlet is what hits me as the weirdest.

Corn and leeks on pizza sounds utterly amazing, I am also going to need to try that now

On this past Sunday we saw Kodo during their tour and they were incredible. Taiko drums in a symphony hall are something else.

Friday we saw the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Choir perform Beethoven's 9th. So far the only live music event I have been to that made my heart race. When the choir and soloists all stood up in unison to perform the fourth moment, I was shook.

Sign me up, probably be cheaper than paying for heat in the winter.

It uses AAs??????? What a fucking find! I'm not joking, proprietary batteries that will all eventually die on you eventually, and be expensive to replace make me very sad. Especially since I think Sony just locked out all third-party batteries too.

I used Ref ormed Film Lab out of Florida to mail some rolls of film not too long ago. Price was reasonable, turnaround was quick and their in-house scans were pretty good to my un-tuned eyes. This was some Fuji 200 that expired in 2012 I think, on my Dad's old OM10 with 50mm lens.

I think the first album I bought was Dear Science and the first and only turntable I bought was JP's old Sony PS-X7

I got my Walkman back from repairs. The muting module had issues and it needed a new belt. Sounds great again.

Simple miter joints. Took a bit to set up on the table saw just right but glad I did. All the corners are 90 degrees. Going to cut splines in next weekend for strength. Trying to decide if I want 2 or 3 on each corner. Will be using more walnut to match the inlay.
