At one time I used to build amps for others. I would estimate in my building days I probably built in excess of 400 amps that I sent all over the world. Unfortunately, I did not keep any pictures of the builds and would love to have an album of sorts....just for memories. If you have any of the...

If you have ever heard Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" or Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" or "Bitches Brew" or Maynard Ferguson's "Live At Jimmy's" you have heard the work of Columbia Record's legendary producer Teo Macero.   http://www.playthatteo.com/trailer.html   No release date yet though.

I posted this over at the Hoffman forum, though you people would find it interesting; Abandoned Places In The World Here is a sample: Hashima Island near Nagasaki

Fry's exec accused of stealing $65 million What some people will do.

Thought this was cool (I hope it's not a repost). 50 Strange Buildings of the World I've only been to #11 (Chapel in the Rock - Sedona, AZ) and #39 (The Luxor - Las Vegas). Both are on the first page.

Jazz | JazzTimes Magazine > Columns and Features > News There is much speculation on his condition, even unconfirmed reports of his passing. I choose to believe that these reports are not true and that he is on the road to recovery. One of the greats!

If you are a fan of any old Motown, you are a fan of Mr. Whitfield's. - Papa Was a Rolling Stone (Temptations) - Just My Imagination (Temptations) - War (Edwin Starr) - I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Marvin Gaye) - Smiling Faces Sometimes (Undisputed Truth) - Ball of Confusion...

I just moved all of my music files to my external hard drive (drive F), but after reimporting all of the folders into iTunes, it still says it cannot find the files. Is there a way that I can direct iTunes to all of the files on my F drive rather than each of them individually? I did make the...

Since my home network IT guy (my son) moved out, I am on my own for all of the computer stuff. Unfortunately, I don't even know enough to be dangerous. So I apologize in advance for stupid questions. Our home computer is old, around three years, and has a small internal hard drive (around...

My trusty Canon A-6something camera finally bit the dust. I found a company locally that will diagnose and repair, but the diagnostics are $75 (deducted from the repair bill) if I go that route. Given that my old camera is only 3 megapixels, I think I'll just buy a new one. I have looked at the...

I received this e-mail at work. The 10 year old daughter of one of my wife's co-workers had this as a homework question. There are 7 girls in a bus, each girl has 7 backpacks. In each backpack, there are 7 big cats, for every big cat there are 7 little cats. Question: How many legs are...

If you thought the ukulele was just for playing "Tiny Bubbles" or "Tip Toe Through the Tulips," you were so wrong bubble-breath.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=N_QNrGvdFIU Incredible.

It lasts about 5 minutes, but watch it till the end. Well worth the time investment. Paintjam

I have been trying to transfer some music files I have in my iTunes library and my Windows Media library to a flash drive so I can play them in my car. I am doing so simply by copying the files through "My Computer" to my "F" Drive which is the removable media drive. Some of the music files have...

Since my Pioneer Premier headunit is not compatible with my 4G iPod, rather than buy the adapter from Pioneer I figured it was as good a time as any to upgrade my portable player. Then I started thinking about alternatives to the 5G iPod Video (30GB at around $250). Aside from the iPod, what...

My stepson is an electrician and recently moved to Houston to be with his fiance. He got a job pretty quickly with a local company and is currently working a contract at an amusement park in Galveston. He is doing some of the electrical work on a new roller coaster being built and took some...

If you bore easily you might want to avoid this long post. Sometimes it’s good just to step away. I started this hobby back in 2000 when I was looking for a way to enjoy my music late at night and not disturb my wife and kids. I had headphones in the past and used a pair of Nakamichi SP7...

Michael Brecker passed away yesterday at the young age of 57 after a lengthy battle with cancer. You can read about him here. It saddens me that we have lost so many influential artists over the last few years. If you have not heard any of his music, especially those albums he recorded with his...

Has anyone ever taken Amtrak (or any other rail carrier) on an extended trip? I don't fly. I have flown in the past, had a bad experience, won't fly again. However sometime in March I will be attending my son's graduation from the Air Force basic training near San Antonio (I am in Northern...

There are some great music related videos that have been posted on sites like Youtube and Googlevideo. I thought it be a great idea to dedicate a thread to those. If you post a link, please ensure that the video does NOT violate Head-Fi's Terms of Use and that it is related to musical...

Does this mean he won't be able to purchase "boys" bicycles? He should have invested in a holster too.

An appreciative shout out to all Veterans, all those currently serving and protecting us, and all of their families for the sacrifices that you make. Although today is the official day to honor you, I hope eveyone honors what you do daily. JMT (a father who's son reports to Air Force basic...
