    Has anyone else seen this new show? I stumbled upon it when my TiVo recorded what was supposed to be some early episodes of Top Gear, and immediately got hooked!

    McConnell's Waterloo-Gate?

    If you've been following the news today, you'll know that obstructionist GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who is running for re-election, has been complaining far and wide about a "Watergate style" leak of a meeting where his staff discussed the dirty tricks that they planned on using against Ashley...

    Yes Founder and Prog Rock Guitarist Peter Banks Dead

    Peter Banks, a co-founder of the band "Yes" and a notable progressive rock influence, has died at age 65. Although the later Yes guitarists stole the limelight, this guy certainly deserves some recognition.

    MoodyBlues' Mother

    Our friend MoodyBlues lost her mother this morning at 9AM Pacific Time. She passed after a brief illness, under excellent medical care and with her loved ones by her side. Needless to say, MoodyBlues is broken-hearted and completely occupied by the things that must be done when a loved one...

    What kind of headphone amps do you use?

    Now that we know what sort of headphones we use, how about sharing what you use to power those 'phones? Obviously a low-power cellphone is less than ideal for listening to music with the high end cans that many of us have! So what have ye? At home I use a Linux PC as my music player, with an...

    Need Some Aviation Themed Novel Suggestions

    "The title says it all." But in case it doesn't, I'm looking for fictional stories that have aviation at the center of the story. Books like Runway 08, Airport, No Highway (In the Sky), Airframe, Mayday etc. Civil or military aviation is good. Just looking for titles that I haven't read yet...

    Help 4G Comes On By Itself

    I received some updates from Sprint over the last week, and now my S2 is constantly turning on "4G" and borking my Wi-Fi connection when it does it. There is no WiMAX service of any kind in my area, BTW. My settings still show 4G as "Off". Has anyone else had this problem? Model: SPH-D710...

    The New Beast

    I've had the TV coverage of the Presidential Inauguration and just noticed something new: the new Presidential Limousine. It has door handles! The last few iterations of what is known as "the beast" by the Secret Service (it's really a heavy truck made to look like a regular car) have...

    Favorite football (NFL) teams?

    I spent most of my life in the Chicago area, and was there for the 1985 season, so I'll always have a place in my heart for da Bears. But I don't live to lose, so I've been a Packers fan long before I moved to Wisconsin. I liked 'em so much that I bought 'em. OK, I bought just one share, but...

    NFL 2012 - What do you want to see?

    That play was the last straw in a more literal sense. The officials made several bad calls that had an equal effect on giving the game to the Seahawks. The news tomorrow will be all about the dramatic last play, but the pass interference calls against the wrong team played equal roles in...

    NFL 2012 - What do you want to see?

    What do I want to see in the 2012 season? I want to see the NFL step up and nullify every "regular season" game with the incompetent officiating. The total failure of the phony NFL officials during the Packers/Seahawks game is the last straw. This is NOT NFL FOOTBALL, PERIOD. As a team...

    Galaxy S2 SD Card Facts, Please

    After buying a new Android tablet (ASUS Infinity) and boosting the storage with a new 64GB microSDXC card, I've been looking at beefing up the microSD storage on my phone (Galaxy S2) and maybe even my Roku 2 XD, which has a slot in back, but no mention of what it's for. So here's the deal. I...

    Shooting in Aurora, CO

    Another senseless mass murder. I don't know what else to say other than to recognize that this tragedy has happened, and to wonder why.
