There's no particular logic behind this particular purchase, except that I had fond memories of a similar 3-tube amplifier I once owned: Just a few watts of power, but that older amp sounded decent, and didn't radiate too many BTUs into the room, so using it in mid-summer was an option. It may...

It seems like hardly a day goes by that a Wall Street Journal doesn't publish new content about an alleged 3000 USD Apple mixed reality (VR + AR) device resembling ski goggles. Here's an example: But even if the rumors turn out to be 100% true, I gotta wonder: Huh? Aside from entertainment...

No joke, but whether we finally get to see Hitler on ice after a 30 year hiatus..?

I guess they decided "Why not give film a try?". Because who knows how sustainable their digital camera operations are. The bare camera chassis shown looks like a circa 1985 Pentax P3/P30-series SLR, but the top cover and stubby wind lever shown briefly at the end are unfamiliar to me...

For some time I've been wanting to see if there was interest in a topic like this, about pretty much anything that makes people feel good about life! Not my original idea at all, I borrowed (OK, stole) it from the now-defunct Giant Robot forums. While I didn't have music, much less drums...

Season one covers the first Reacher novel, Killing Floor. Impression after watching episode 1: Great! Achieves the balance between cerebral and butt-kicking which made the novels so popular, in an episodic form which allows the story room to breathe.

Got any good advice for building wealth from books or other sources, please share! Me: After years of neglecting my retirement accounts ("no time, too busy") I found myself unemployed at the end of 2019, so I had no more excuses for not tidying things up. By sheer dumb luck, I put my money into...
