Aural bliss...
I don't normally effuse about power products but if you are looking for the one thing to make a huge difference in your high-end audio system check out the parallel power delivery systems from Richard Gray's Power Company. I recently acquired an RGPC 400 Pro and it's made a world of difference in my two channel system that I use for my turntable ( Read more... ) -
Nothing much...
I picked up a little pocket portable digital camera to be able to take some pictures of where I go to share with the girls. Should be interesting. It's a cool little thing, a Canon PowerShot SD1000. It's quite small and takes very good pictures. I'll try to post some of the more interesting pictures as time goes on. Given the number of cities ( Read more... ) -
Never ceases to amaze. . .
It never ceases to amaze me just how many stupid people there are in the world. Case in point, yesterday driving from St Louis to Chicago I was stuck behind a motorcycle trooper for about 15 miles. There were five of us all biding our time waiting for this trooper to turn off into his trap or an exit or something. Well, one twit couldn't wait, ( Read more... ) -
I'm a lazy spod
Well, I'm in Pleasanton, first time in the Bay Area in 6 years? Something like that, can that even be right? Maybe only five. Six hours in a plane in coach blows. A direct flight from BOS to SFO sounds like a good idea at first blush, don't believe it. Luckily my flight back to Chicago on wednesday night is first class ( Read more... ) -
The joys of headphones
What is it about listening to favorite songs in headphones? I tell you nothing sends me into aural bliss like good music in headphones. I've spent a decent amount of money on home audio systems, but Rhapsody, my laptop and my Bose QC2s bring me real bliss. Great way to shut out the rest of the world. Now if only I had a nice Eames lounge chair ( Read more... ) -

At last
Well... it's been awhile since my last posting, but things have been pretty busy. And pretty good I might add. I finally got my promotion and have been busy with a bevvy of new conference calls and assignments to get into the swing of things. I have to finish the project that I am currently assigned to before I get to do anything more fun, but ( Read more... ) -
Joca Bonito!
I was reading an article on SoccerNet when I saw an intriguing ad in the side bar stating: "Don't let liars and cheaters make a fool of our game". Now, I really detest a lot of the nonsense that goes on these days with diving and wasting of time so I clicked on the ad, even tho it was for Nike (I am an Adidas bigot). What popped up was an ( Read more... ) -
It's only Thursday!
One of the worst things about working a boring project is the way time just drags. It is ridiculous. It doesn't help that I am on pins and needles awaiting news next week about my bonus and my promotion. I was passed over six months ago, they had three slots, I was the fourth rated person in my organization at my current level. . . >damnit!< ( Read more... ) -
A serene evening
After an annoying day at work I took a walk along Park Ave and drank in the sights of the Seagrams Building by good ole Mies. It's interesting to think that he inadvertantly started a trend for architects creating public gathering spaces along with their skyscrapers. There are several buildings right around there that show the different ways that ( Read more... )
