We just got a set of one of my favorite speakers in! They're actually the big brother of the ones from this article (we have the floor standing version called the SL-280EX)
I'm going to enjoy listening to these two until some lucky person takes them home with them.
Time to play every Beatles album in the store!

Audio journalists tend to wander the corridors of a CES in a minor state of shell-shock. There are no carnival-barkers outside the rooms enticing one to enter (not yet, at any rate), but the sounds and reputations oozing from the open doorways yield little to the "hurry, hurry, hurry" crowd. The Sig...

This seems like great news

Once renovations are completed, the owners said the venue will offer “diverse entertainment options to the community.”

I gotta say, I'm a little bummed out.
I really thought that this was an actual pen and ink.
I took photos and blew them up to see if I had the dots, which would give it away. I didn't see any. Just thick color.
But, once I pulled it out of the frame, it seemed obvious that this was just a really high quality print. A giclee, it would seem.
So, I have been duped.
DAMN!
I really wanted to do that King Kong piece on real art! (yes, it would be a bit of a travesty to take such a lovely piece and ruin it, but... it's what I do!)
As it was, doing this in permanent marker was a little nerve wracking because this format makes it pretty difficult to fix mistakes. Other than his head being a little oversized, I think this piece works fine, and is a lovely addition to my King Kong art collection.
Know, if he can only find his way to the drug store to get some SQUIBB'S DENTAL CREAM, so he doesn't have bad breath on his honeymoon.

No art was harmed in the making of this... art.

If you get one of these from Sheldon Whitehouse, it’s a trap!
(In other words, it’s not from the senator)

I know, Autumn is just beginning but isn't it time to start thinking of Christmas?
And what's more Christmasy than painting Jack Torrance chasing our bear into a covered bridge on a snowy evening, onto a work lovingly put to canvas* by L. Peachy?
I'm sure when Jack catches up to the little guy, there'll be some ice cream, they might just share a hot toddy and have a few laughs as our ax wielding co-star preforms his famous Johnny Carson** impression.
I think this is a shining example of what can be done if you have a few colors of paint and a snowy canvas in front of you.
Just peachy.

Any film makers on here needing a prop for a film you're making about the late '80s?
Doesn't work well, but would make a great prop.

A customer just turned me onto an app called Radio Garden which allows you to stream any station (that's streaming) around the globe, and has a cool Google Earthesque interface where you spin around the planet and see all of these green dots that represent all of the radio stations.
I spin around the planet and see these totally remote stations in the middle of Russia, isolated by hundreds of miles in each direction, so I need to see what a station like that plays so I click on it.
First song I hear is Aerosmith, then comes The Pretenders. Now, i'm hearing some Russian pop, but I found it interesting that the first things were western.
Cool app!
