So I sold a small Chipamp to a nice gent on Audio Asylum. He was using it for (one of) his horn systems, and he said it worked out real well. He sent me some pics of two of his other speaker systems:

RIP to an old High School friend of mine, Mike. He was chaperoning a Scout trip with some other parents, and they hit rough waters on the Dead River in Maine. Raft apparently flipped, everyone rescued but him, couldn't be revived with CPR.... Two kids, I think teen/pre-teen....so fucking sad..... It's been many years since I saw him, only e-chats; we had him to our house with another friend & family when he just had one child. But it still hits pretty damn hard.

Happy Birthday!

The model #..... Likely some boards/electronics within, but if specs are the same (5V, 1A) perfectly fine to use

Free or Paid? Free, I use AVG Free in several places, and Avast also gets high ratings often. Paid: ESet NOD32, Vipre are two of my top contenders, combination of protection and lightweight resources I'm sure others will have just as good recommendations, but those I've had direct experience or know folks who do (and who's opinions I generally trust)

Happy Birthday!

Sorry Dan.....I wanted to Caps to go farther, or all the way, this year. I wish Mark-Andre Fleury was still in net for the Penguins, I have this feeling that with him in the Pens would have lost this series.....the new goalie isn't the second-coming of Ken Dryden, but he's playing pretty well, and the defense has been over-achieving too.... I don't see Tampa knocking them down, so they likely make the finals.....

Happy Birthday!

I have somewhere a neon green 7" with Pocket Calculator and Dentaku (Japanese version) on the back. Need to find that.... And indeed, great album!!

Happy Birthday! Don't be a nudgenik, come back and see us sometime!

I think we're all just fans of niking.

x2. Sometimes fast is good, but indeed it can be tiring!

Ha! Thanks! We have a WHOLE lot of "isms" as I'm sure many a family does, but we do come together well for wonderful occasions!

Whoa....RIP Tomita. Was listening to some of his Pictures At An Exhibition last week....

Went to my niece's wedding last night. It had to be moved because the original venue cancelled with <2 months left, but the new place came through in spades! And it helped being closer to us. Many highlights, including seeing some cousins I hadn't seen in years. The new family is a blend of multiple cultures: we're Jewish, my brother married into an Irish family, and my new nephew is African-American. A simple but truly amazing ceremony, and a great party. Perhaps the oddest but greatest highlight: my nephew (bride's youngest brother) playing Hava Nagila for the Jewish Hora dance....on the bagpipes! This morning, we take my mom and Karen's mom back to the same venue for Mother's Day brunch.

Happy birthday Shelly!

Happy Birthday!

Second round shaping up to be intense and pretty nicely competitive. Caps/Pens is getting a bit ugly, hopefully it settles a bit but I still want the Caps to win it. Pens have 3 scary good lines for scoring, though, and their defense has been better than I thought it would be. I think lots of credit to Coach Mike Sullivan is due for their surge.... Blues are looking interestingly good as well. Dallas starting to show their (relatively) weaker defense, but still a fast and exciting team. Don't have a dog in the race for NYI and Tampa Bay, I guess I'd like to Islanders to go ahead because it's been longer for them (and ex-Bruin Johnny Boychuck is there, miss him on the Bruins!). Sadly, I don't se either team beating the winner of Caps/Pens, unless that series causes excessive wear and tear.... Anyway, go AnyoneButPenguins!

Wow, very sad and sudden.....RIP Michelle. And RIP to Phil....reading the Wikipedia entry, saw something I don't see everyday: "...Jewish farm boy from Saskatchewan..."

I usually get up before my wife in the mornings. Go into the bedroom today, she's up and looking a bit down..... "Morning....what's the matter?" "...my toilet's clogged, the wi-fi is down, and even cellular data doesn't work...." Maslow's updated hierarchy rings true....

Happy birthday!

I heart the Sharks as well, even though each series they win makes the Bruins' first round pick worse. Anaheim losing again indeed likely means some changes coming, Boudreau for sure but maybe players too. Hoping the Bruins can do some trades for some better Defensemen, ours pretty much sucked this year, and Ducks have some decent players ready or upcoming. B's have some potentials coming up in prospects, but they still may be a year or so out.

Happy Birthday Ryan, hope it's a great and musical day!

Well-stated Bryan. Next year is another year where the Hawks will need to play some games with personnel to keep under the cap, but they have consistently shown great drafting and development, so their reign at or near the top should continue for sure. I'll admit I wanted to see the Blues go on, if only because Chicago (and LA as well) have won multiple times recently. I just wanted to see someone new, no dislike for either team. At this stage, the only team I DON'T want to go on is Pittsburgh.....hope the Caps eliminate them, but they (the Caps) will need to step up a bit to do so. They let Philly get too close too often in round 1 IMO.
