Post the last thing you bought!
I ended up turning down my invitation (maybe you got mine???) but I'll still be curious to see how it goes for you. Seemed like their forums were pretty full of glitch threads which scared me off plenty given that my D-link is still working just fine.

Battlestar Galactica
Damn I've got some catching up to do. I was at the gym yesterday and unfortunately caught the first three seconds of a commercial for Season 4 which served as a semi-spoiler since I'm so far behind.
- Happy birthday mulveling!

Buffy and Angel and other Whedon stuff

Buffy and Angel and other Whedon stuff
I finished Season 3 of Buffy last night and I think now I'm going to try watching the remaining seasons alongside Angel, which I've seen very little of, so that I can get the crossover material in proper sequence. I will say that having re-watched the first 3 seasons again I fail to see a show on TV right now that's as well written and performed. Damnit, it was just great.

Why not a Touch? I mean, if you're going to spend money on an Ipod why not get the one you want?

What the hell should I buy?
Yup, not sure they're worth half the going rate but since there are plenty of people willing to pay it that's what they're worth.

No need to take offense (at least it sounds like you are), you're tagged as an MOT which I believe you requested and I have no idea what you do or don't do, I can only speak for me. $30 sounds more than fair to me not that my opinion on the matter, matters.

One half is the not-for-profit arm of suckitalo. Dude, don't you like know that connectors like only mess with the signal and that it's always best to use a direct connection? Sheesh.

Lathe question
I think you'll need at least two chisels, one rough gouge and another facing tool. Otherwise you'll never get the faces of the cups flat if you just have a gouge. Basically I'd go for at least the first three on the left hand side of this image.

New ICs.
Hard to price something that doesn't exist. Seriously though, outside of doing a few cables for friends I have no plans to produce any products under any names. You should talk to GE about a Senn cable, he's much better at this stuff than I am.

Headfive or soha?
If I'm not mistaken the Headfive circuit and the PIMETA are actually pretty similar.

New ICs.
I may have coined the phrase but it's not my website. Although I suspect that it's my cables that John is talking about.

Tell me about your Home Theater Setup
How big is the room it's going in Vincent? Is this going to be a hybrid HT/TV room? Basically I think the first thing that you need to figure out is what is an appropriately sized TV. If it's a HT only room then you'll only be dealing w/ high-def content so you can go larger. If this is a dual duty room my experience is that it's better to err on the slightly smaller side so that regular def material doesn't look awful.

Apogee Duet Kicks Ass
If you email Apogee they'll send you the pinout, at least they sent it to me. I don't have it with me or I'd post the pinout.

Please help me with my PPA
Glad to hear that everything seems sorted out but I'm not sure that I had all that much to do with it. The PPA is a great amp, don't be fooled into thinking otherwise.

I wouldn't use an FM transmitter for anything other than audio books.

Great work, Steve. Should take you about one week to exceed my abilities.

Just bought ~$80 worth of mounting hardware for upcoming projects. Man, nuts, bolts, washers and stuff can really add up.

Concert dilemma -- please help!
In my experience "back stage" passes are pretty worthless if you're trying to meet an artist. I know when I worked the back stage the artists were pretty secluded and it was definitely the exception when they did a meet-and-greet.
