    Seattle Micro Meet (Oct 18, 2009)

    This was probably the shortest meet in HF history -- 40 minutes. A little background to the meet if you can call it that... James (guy in the pics below) was over at my house on Friday, and I found out that he lurks on Head-Fi. He's a starving college student, and he told me that he hopes to...

    Boolean search photo tags

    I tag my photos using Windows Live Gallery. Is there a program that allows for boolean searching or filtering of tag values and then displaying them? For example, I want to find all photos that contain "Jacob" AND "Caleb".

    Headroom brick-and-mortar store?

    Is there a Headroom brick-and-mortar retail store in Bozeman, or is Headroom strictly a mail order business? I'm asking because the family is considering a trip to Yellowstone this year, and a little side trip to Bozeman for head-fi shopping would be very fun for daddy.

    Windows Vista: Computer view does not show drive space

    When you click Computer, among other things, Vista displays the hard drive icons and shows how much free space is available on the drive. Mine stopped doing this a while back, and I don't know how to get it to display the free drive space again. Any ideas?

    arm band for nano in clear case

    I recently bought a Nano for my wife to use while she works out. The Nano is encased in Contour Design's iSee Nano v2 case. Is there an arm band solution that can fit the Nano encased in a case like this? I saw an arm band at the Apple Store but it could only fit a naked Nano.

    messing around with "portable" home rig

    I thought I just share one newbie's fun with this hobby. I've recently dabbled with using universal players as a home source. For those who don't want to read the long gibberish I've written, here's the Cliff's Notes version: - Sony DVP-S530D makes a good transport. It's an older universal...

    experience with MoMA's Music Mug

    Has anyone heard the Music Mug sold by MoMA? I think it might be nice to use bedside for some quiet listening. It's powered by the headphone out so I don't know how good it will sound, and perhaps amping it with a portable amp will do the trick.. I dunno.

    My first vinyl rig - Pioneer PL-12D (56k warning)

    After much deliberations, changing my mind multiple times within a given day, I finally put an end to my madness and decided to go for a cheap vintage turntable. The idea behind the decision was that I didn't want to invest so much money (I had been looking into $350 to $900 new and used...

    Economically storing vinyl records properly

    I understand that vinyl records should not be stacked horizontally, and should be stored vertically straight. I'm looking for a cheap way of storing records until the time comes when I can buy a nice storage solution (I like the Boltz LP shelves). Currently, my vinyl collection is about 40...

    Tattoo Artist Sued Over Penis Tattoo Prank

    PopPhoto 2006 Annual Reader's Picture Contest

    I was looking through the Jan '07 issue today which has the results from the Annual Reader's Picture Contest. For the Candid/Humor category, there is a photo of a chick (as in baby chicken) with a tiny headphone on its head staring directly at the camera. The results haven't been posted to...

    Digital photo frames

    Any recommendations on digital photo frames? I'm looking for 6"+ and 4:3 preferred. I've seen some for sale here and there, but they're always made by unfamiliar manufacturers. The Ziga 8" one looked promising.

    iRobot cleaning 'bots

    Anyone have any experience with iRobot cleaning 'bots? Do these things actually perform as advertised? We live in a 4000 sq ft house and some automated cleaning help would be good. My wife says she's heard good things about them. We're considering both the Roomba and Scooba models.
