I wish I had slept through! I went to bed super early thinking I'd be fresh in the morning only to be left wide awake at 2:30AM after the quake woke me up.

Happy birthday, KD!

This popped up on Netflix. It is magnificent.

Curb Your Enthusiasm. Try a few episodes and see if it works for you.

Green Mars - Kim Stanley Robinson.

For what its worth, I had an older generation of the 16s and hated them because they are bass-boosted. If you like neutral I'd rule out the 16s.

Happy Boxing Day, everyone!

The Psychedelic Furs - Talk Talk Talk

Sorry for your loss, KD.

Ike and Tina - Live and Dangerous

^ Very fun read! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, Doug!

RIP Ed Lee, the mayor of San Francisco. Died last night of a heart attack at 65 while he was out shopping for groceries. He was a civil rights lawyer before he became a career civil servant. Not everyone loved all his policies, but I think damn near the entire Bay Area thought Ed was a good guy. Very sad day.

The 2017 Game Awards VOD. They did a brilliant job with this. Deserving winners and amazing reveals throughout! https://youtu.be/Bs5Ml7_2wT0

Happy birthday!

I agree with everything Purk has been posting. That being said, some people really just don't like the 800/800S. Their loss. Different people like or are sensitive to different things. I don't think there is a "one size fits all" choice in this hobby. I personally think a well amped 800/800S stands toe to toe with just about anything that isn't a 007/009 on one of the mega KG amps.

Happy birthday, Tom!

New stuff from Bonovox and co.

Happy birthday!

Another vote here for makemkv. I've used it for years to rip my dvds and blurays to a plex server.

The 6ths, Wasps' Nests. 2017 Grammy Award Nominations are out. Goodness... I'm so out of touch.

This is a very fun read about the hardware inside the old Power Mac G5 towers and the state of the Mac/tech landscape in the early 2000s. http://women-and-dreams.blogspot.com/2017/11/apple-power-macintosh-g5-flame-on.html

Happy birthday, B-man!
