eye fatigue
I actually do have a CRT, but only one, and they're impossible to find for a reasonable price new, these days. And considering they fade, I wouldn't want to get a used one. EDIT: And as Dan mentioned, I'm not sure they're any better. PS Are there options when buying glasses to have them specially treated, does anyone know? I do need to get yet another prescription (in less than a year, I believe), I'll be asking when I go. I was just curious if anyone had any experience with it, or if it's not worth it.

eye fatigue
Anyone have any solutions for the eye fatigue that results from staring at an LCD all day? In the ad from buy.com today, one of the items was a $50 pair of glasses designed for exactly that, that I'm actually seriously considering. Also, there's an overlay that one can put over one's screen. Anyone use any of these things? Are there other options ("go blind" does not count -- I'd rather not) that you prefer?

HD800 and GS-X/BUDA?
x2...or so I suppose it is. Please do report back with impressions.

What did you do today?
Just gives weight to the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Hey, the house next to where I live now is for sale. You'd love the location.

And it's only a 4-way design. They have something smaller called a "mini ultimate", but where's the conspicuous consumption in that? I wonder how it's loaded. Looks to be just open baffle.

No, that was actually pretty good -- sounds like they isolate about as well as the Sony MDR-7506/-V6's.

Yes, please do report on impressions, what amp you use, how well they isolate (which is what I care about more than leakage), pics, and whether or not you still have your wisdom teeth.

Yeah, the more I think about it, that has to be fake. In addition to the comments both here and on YouTube, he should hit the far side of the kiddy pool hard enough to destroy either it or himself. And yes, I mean the Tiddy Bear, not the waterslide jump. The waterslide jump's real, man.

Schematic for Frank Cooter's amp
Yeah, really. I mean, I realize that the power supply has a lot to do with how good an amp is, but it's only part of the equation...just substitute a different -- albeit at the same level of quality -- power supply.

Just two dogs playing, but read the write-up -- the one had previously only been given two days to live. <3

Great news from North Korea
This is pretty much where I am. I have to admit to thinking only about the hostages being released when I wrote my initial response, but I don't think very highly of ambassadors -- they're mostly power-drunks on boondoggles -- and I also didn't see a whole lot of validation to what he wrote -- it's mostly speculation (batshit or otherwise). I mean, I see how he could have a point, but it's not like we made a press release saying "hey, they're legitimate now". It's like a hostage negotiator going in to a hostage negotiation and coming out with the hostages. I stand by, "win".

I was going to ask if that was walking or driving, but then I remembered what part of town you work in so...same, right? Or are you not counting traffic? Good luck!
