Smeggy

Yah, I've tried Dvoraak a few times over the years but always ended up back with qwerty. It's a good idea in theory but my typing memory won't let go of the system I started with.

Woodworking go faster things... Drill press Drill press safety planer Milling vice (mine's biggeer than this one) Spade bits, Forstner bits and a circle cutter plus 2 sizes of microplane rotary shapers. Fun fun fun!

Indeed, RIP is pretty sweet for shaving off the excess crap on H-F

Foreign language teaching books were never that cool in my schools.

Fuck! I think I just popped an aneurysm reading that, Ouch

For anyone interested, there is a set of Koss ESP 950s for $400 and a Stax Lambda + SRD-7SB for $300 on the Seattle Craigslist http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/684598829.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/682387125.html Not mine. Sadly I'm broke, I'd love to pick up the 950s at that price. Have at 'em.

I'm taking Friday off to extend the long weekend so that should be fun. Busting my balls for a demo deadline right now so it'll be a welcome relief.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

They are a vinyl set from a old supply I got a year ago from ebay. They're big enough to go around the ears, not very deep though.

Pah, I'm not allowed to have a motorbike these days as wifey thinks I'd kill myself.... and she's probably right Anyway, to console myself I went out and bought an expensive little modelmakers saw table. Really cute and very quiet. Dead accurate too. Precision German kit.

Ack! No Omegas in '08

Congrats!

Never!!

Happy Birthday!

That really does look neat and tidy in there. It's nice to see the insides at last, very impressive indeed.

very, very nice. Are those done with a router?

I tend to use a minimal amount at any one time.

Wait, whut? Didn't he just have a whole bunch of birthdays? Oh well, what's one more

Mmm, that thing is pretty! I've still never owned much hi-end anything so I'm happy in my ignorance or I'm sure life would get expensive very fast. Glad you finally found a sound you like.

That sounds like a very painful pain in the ass. I hated crutches last time I sprained my ankle and even that hurt like a mofo. Hope it all goes well for you and don't rush it.

That's why I already have all my vintage Stax. Every time there's a damn 'stat flare-up a whole new bunch of people go on a Stax rampage and drive the prices up. I'm fully stocked with all the vintage gear I need less maybe an ortho.

Yeah, I can spin it any way I like and still come up maximalist.

KITTEH HAS FIVE SECONDS TO COMPLY OR KITTEH WILL BE EXTERMINATED!!!
