It has been a long time since I've made a blog entry, but I had such a nice, interesting weekend (the weekend before last), that I thought I'd blog about it.
First of all, Jack Roush Jr. had a great day in his Grand Am Cup race at Barber Motorsports Park yesterday. (Jack is one of my best friends, a business partner, and like a brother to me). Jack races in the Grand Am Cup GS (Grand Sport Class), and started the July 19, 2008 race with his #59 ROUSH / Valvoline...

To say the least, the last couple of weeks has been rather busy for me. As if to make me pay for the fun I'm about to have at Can Jam '08, the task demons struck a last-minute blow to my pre-Can-Jam rest-up plans. I was working last night until about 0400, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water before finally going to bed, but dropped the glass on the counter from a good height; and the glass did its best Death-Star-explosion imitation, shooting shards and bits from one end of the kitchen...

As some of the long-time Head-Fi.org Members know, there has been an ongoing joke theme at Head-Fi.org that started with someone creating a poll about pretzels versus churros. Long story short, this theme carried itself into many a thread. As it got a bit out of hand (to say the least), it irritated many folks, myself included; and so now any pretzel versus churro posting almost always gets deleted from the Main Forums.
That being said, I can't believe I'm about to post this photo,...

Check out the press release for (and renderings of) the Wadia iTransport iPod Dock.
I want one. Bad.
I have been considering putting together a media server (primarily a music server) for some time now. When John Schaffer told me, back in September, that Wadia was developing what would become the iTransport iPod Dock, I flipped, as I knew what they were developing was something that would be ideal for me (and countless others) in my pursuit of a music server. With iPods...

I celebrated New Year's Eve over here with a small dinner at the house with my wife, my son, my father-in-law, and my wife's cousin (who was kind enough to bring with her a case of Sprecher Root Beer from her home state of Wisconsin).
To bring in 2008, my wife, her cousin and I watched a DVD movie, and then a wonderful HD replay of Live From Lincoln Center: New York Philharmonic New Year's Eve Gala with Joshua Bell some time after midnight, toasting with the aforementioned Sprecher...

So I get an e-mail and a call from Sennheiser, inviting me to attend a product launch they're holding on the night before CES officially starts. They'll set it up, they say, and give Head-Fi.org the scoop on the new products, if I'd go. Okay, let's see....I'm a Head-Fi'er; Sennheiser is inviting me to a launch of some new products, and offering to fly me out for it; I'm a Head-Fi'er; my parents live in Vegas, so I don't see them very often, and I can stay with them; I'm a Head-Fi'er; it's CES;...

I'm not sure exactly why I'm posting this, but something pretty amazing (at least I think it's really cool) happened to me yesterday.
I sometimes wear a silver necklace (under my shirt) that my wife gave me on our fifth anniversary that has two charms hanging on it: a crucifix charm and a tag charm with an engraved message from my wife on one side, and the date of our fifth anniversary engraved on the other.
I had been running errands before going to the office. Once...

As many of you know, Head-Fi.org suffered its worst outage since its 2001 founding, on November 10, 2007, remaining down for about two weeks (coming back online early in the morning of November 25, 2007). Long story short, a storage appliance's malfunction (both hardware- and software-related) corrupted a lot of data, primary and backups. The two weeks of downtime was a result of the time it took to reconstruct the data as best we could, with some difficult decisions to make along the way. One...

Click on the photo above for a larger version.
Before it heads to New York for the Official NYC Fall Regional Meet (2007-11-10), a Ray Samuels Audio Predator USB DAC/portable amp prototype arrived for a brief stay with me. It is uncased (see the photo above), so I just have it sitting on a white index card. (Ray Samuels made sure to make sure that I understood...
