So my father, in his version of a midlife crisis, has accumulated quite a bit of vintage hifi gear by pillaging the basements of friends.   So now he has a working Scott 222C (approximately 1962 vintage)   and a pair of Klipschorns (approximately 1987 vintage)   And he wants a DAC...

A fair guesstimate... the flight tracker feature on the IFE says 34,146ft and 530mph at present. About 1200 miles left to go. I have a speedtest: Picture 5 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Taking the annual christmas trip on Virgin this year, and they've got free inflight wifi so... I'm posting this from 34000ft above Milwaukee, while going 543mph. It certainly makes flying a lot less sucky to have the internet! Merry christmas everyone!

My Mini3 is done! Mini3 Project - a set on Flickr I have more pics of the build process coming. I made a few changes...instead of the standard boring ones on the AMB build sheet. Enclosure is a Box Enclosures BEX Series one, model B1-080. In order to make the PCB fit, solder lugs...

I'm 22, single, yes I'm a girl, and I like it this way for the time being. I've always found that as soon as I decide I don't WANT a relationship, one will fall into my lap. So, for now, I'm happy doing whatever I want. I am looking forward to someday getting into the kind of relationship where...

I guess I'll be the one and only person to point out that unless the mobo in an a320n was replaced at some point, there is no way it will play the Sims3 regardless of how much Ram you put in there-- it has an integrated 64mb graphics card that is about on par with the GMA950, and will not run...

Well, my resistance failed and I ordered a pink sailor sapporo demonstrator. Now I'm coveting an Aurora Optima demonstrator. screw. I cannot spend $600 on a pen but the chrome/red is so COOL looking.

Can someone who has better luck getting in touch with Sam PLEASE ask him if he can remold ADDIEMs? I have sent several emails...he responded to the first one 2 1/2 weeks later, but nothing since then, and I can't catch him online as I am on the east coast and am therefore always asleep when he...

Well I have a bunch of the Hi-tec C gel pens, and to be honest I think at the same price the Pentel Slicci is a better pen...but the multipen function of the Coleto is fine on mine, at least. If you're getting individual pens I'd get the Slicci instead of the Hi-Tec C.

I'll be donating a laptop sleeve to the auction. I sell laptop sleeves for chiefly apple laptops though they will fit some others. If potential bidders want to check out the site and tell me if they have a potential color/style preference, I'll bring a small assortment with me so the bidder...

There are TWO moisture indicators in the iPod touch. One is in the middle of the dock connector port and one is in the headphone jack. The dock connector is the easiest to trip and to read, so we apple techs always check the dock connector first.

well, you can get a power supply that's airline compatible, however airline power regulations prohibit the use of the power ports to charge the device--you can only use it to power them. I have these for some HP nc series workstation laptops and the charger explicitly states the charging...

Sorry, Kuru Toga, it's made by Uniball. The lettering has rubbed off on mine so I was going from memory.

I'm on a similar quest for a decent fountain pen...I'd like to keep the cost for the pen and a bottle of ink (noodler's??) under $50 if possible. Price wouldn't really matter for a perfect one, but with no way to try them first, I'm having trouble spending that much for a pen. I tend to like...

I think my issue is that I write in very, very classic Getty method italics, and I need an italic nib, which isn't the stock configuration on anything that costs less than my headphones Jetpens has the Sharbo X Multipen: Zebra Sharbo X Multi Pen System For multipens I actually really like...

Actually the sensa cloud 9 takes a very specific refill since it's pressurized and kind of an odd size. Some pens that might meet your fine-point needs are the Hi-Tec C Cavalier, and the Zebra Sharbo. I'm a connoisseur of needle-point pens, tend not to write with anything over .5mm...

Oh, also forgot the Kuro Tuga (i think that's what it is?) the premium edition is very nice for $15.

For which ballpoint pen? I have a number of ballpoint pens that are .5mm or thinner (most are .4 or .3) but the refills are very specific to the pen model. PS thanks a lot to whoever started this thread, I just bought five new pens and a handwriting manual, I am going to renew my knowledge...
