Interesting finds in the news or site news.
If you like Deadmau5… who doesn’t or Lights, the two of them got together and put out “When The Summer Dies” it’s f’n awesome. Driving beat, the deadmau5 electric sound and Lights on vocals. Highly recommend if you like either.
Some Chinese English for you to ponder… 😬
Hope everyone had a nice 4th. BBQ’s and fireworks! I was able to watch the fireworks from LIC and enjoy some pulled pork Ying made for me. The security around here was crazy, FBI and tons of NYPD. Today was a lazy day for us, just walking in the park and farting around the house. NYC seems to be almost back to normal.
Anyone want to take some sporting clay classes at Orvis Sandanona shooting grounds? Should be fun. They can help fit you with the proper gun and teach the sport. Hit me up if your interested.
Been awhile so I figured I should make a quick post.
Building a pair of bookshelf speakers. Cabinets are done, still deciding on the wood to finish them in, leaning towards ebony. Crossover is done, not as neat as I would like but nobody will see it.
Also put up some lights in the living room. Yes, I know now that my Chinese New Years decorations are wrong… It’s the laowhy way… 😅
I’m thinking about putting up two rows of the same lights in the kitchen. They are a bit of a pita to put up but I like the end result.
Not much else new with me at the moment. Been busy with work and life. Will check in again a bit later.
Wishing everyone a happy holidays and hopefully a much better 2021!
This year the holiday season didn’t really hit me until recently when I noticed decorations in the lobby at work! I do have a few decorations up at home this year but not bothering with a tree or lights. 😅
Oh, on another note I was able to get my hands on 2 personal grails! Signed by the band as well! Limited pressing of 300 each! Been hunting for them on Discogs since I got into the VC.
Nothing else new to report. Hope everyone’s 2021 is better then 2020… I know it’s a low bar!
December is here and this crazy year is finally winding down. Wow… Pandemic, elections, riots, toilet paper and hand sanatizer hording…. you name it 2020 had it! Anyway hope everyone is still safe and employed.
I’m back working every other week. I have been to NYC a few time for work and it has a crazy diffrent vibe. Totally nobody in the Google building… Kinda creepy when you figure how big that place is. Just waiting for the zombies now! 🤣
Been working on little projects at home. Getting lots done, latest one is a RO system for my drinking water. I don’t really like plumbing so it will be a challenge for me… Hopefully it will not sit around in the box for months. 🤣
I spent Thanksgiving here in Frenchtown. I was away from family for the first time ever during this holiday. I was exposed to a contractor that tested positive at work. I couldn’t really risk going even with my negative test until I waited. I’m clear now but I will be back at work next week.
Not much else going on… Just waiting for things to go back to something more normal… Doubt it will ever fully go back to how it was but something closer would be welcome.
This is what happens when you let tree hugging idiots push wind and solar over nuclear and traditional power
The CT Mirror: Energy policy is rendering Connecticut a third world country.

Had a covid scare at work. I had to get tested… Negative… I can recommend people avoid needing a test… 😅 Very unpleasant, not as bad as I thought but still good to avoid.
My daily driver noise cancelling headphones just kicked the bucket. I decided I would spring for the Bose unit as a replacement. Bose has the reputation of being the best NC headphones on the market. I work and take calls in super loud environments so I figured I would give them a try. As an audiophile I’m usually repelled by Bose but I can totally give the NC 700’s high marks! The noise cancelling is amazing, works as advertised and alot better then I was expecting.
The audio quality via Bluetooth is super base heavy and via cable it’s kinda lifeless. I’m feeding it from a THX 789 so it’s not the source. So as a music headphone I would say pass unless you like boosted base and only listen via Bluetooth. For my intended purpose however as a noise cancelling headset for calls it’s bar none! Highly recommend!
