https://www.etsu.edu/cas/biology/eagle-cam/cameras.php Looks like the third eaglet could hatch at any minute. (It's the Johnson City cams. If all you see is adult eagle, she's probably sitting on her kids.)

So, this is my daughter's current alarm clock: Whenever it goes off, everyone in the house wants to punch someone in the face. It is the most irritating, evil alarm clock ever devised, with a piercing staccato cartoon voice screaming "Time to wake up! Let's! Get! Moving!" and singing the...

NewEgg Flash has the KEF M500 headphones for $149 with promo code NEFPSAH151. You might have to sign up for NewEgg's spam list to get the discount to apply -- not sure. The headphones are super comfy, solidly built with an aluminum band and soft ear pads, and they sound nice for the money...

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this. I thought I might recommend a few apps I often use for audio stuff on my Android phone. I'm interested in seeing others' recommendations as well. Neutralizer Neutralizer is a 10-band global EQ app. What sets it apart from others is its...

I've been curious to try a pair of open back over-ear headphones, as well as a pair of planar magnetics. To kill two birds with one stone, I just ordered a pair of the MrSpeakers Aeon Flow Open. Tyll Hertsens put them on the InnerFidelity Wall of Fame, and I've read audio snob forum threads...

If there's an "Amazon error in your favor" Community Chest card, I just drew it. I was browsing Amazon's lightning deals on my phone. Came across some wireless ear buds on a lightning deal, regularly $37.80, on sale for $15.99. Thought that might be a nice gift for someone. Tapped to read...

tl;dr: It's bad. Spoilers follow. I first saw the banners for the live action version of The Tick and thought, "This ought to be both awful and amusing." I was half right, anyway. From the opening theme song I was disappointed. I'd hoped for a reprise of the iconic "Daht dehweee daht daht...

I was just aggregating CEA-2010 data from various sources and making a spreadsheet. Thought you guys might be interested to see it. I've got the spreadsheet attached to this post. The Dayton SUB-1500 and both BIC subs are actually pretty impressive for their cost. Although the SUB-1500 was...

Sonic Visualiser is an open source application available for Windows, OSX, and Linux which allows the user to view and analyze audio files. It is extremely useful as-is, and is extendable with Vamp plugins. A valuable use for Sonic Visualiser is to create a spectrogram of a section of audio to...

Thought I might upgrade my center channel with a horizontal Cohesive 893 from DIY Sound Group. I based that decision partly on limited availability of 3-way horizontal centers with available cabinet flat packs, but mostly because of the 893 center's impressive listening window response graphs...

My wife has a birthday coming in up in a week. I'm thinking of buying her a pair of great sounding earphones for when she's doing yoga, playing with her flower beds, or working on her Pinterest projects. I bought her a pair of KEF M500 on-ears a year or two ago for her iPod. She loves them...

So, I tend to use a common login and one of a short list of passwords among all the websites for which I'm required to log in. And damned if a forum provider didn't get breached, rendering my most common password useless. Logging into both AVS and HTS, you're greeted with a lovely "your...

Looks like Britain is leaving the European Union, according to predictions from the BBC. GBP is declining against the USD, down around 10.5 - 11% since yesterday (according to Yahoo! Finance and Bloomberg). EUR is also declining, down a little less than 4%. Scotland voted overwhelmingly to...

Yep. Google seems to know nothing of this phenomenon as far as I can tell. It seems that at least portions of the IR signals used by my window A/C unit also trigger various color changes on my LED strip. But not the other way around. My backlighting remote doesn't trigger any changes to the...

So, I'm not sure what to set my DVR to record this fall. True Blood is getting ready to end on Sunday. The current season of So You Think You Can Dance ends soon. The Sing-Off won't be on till November, if it has been renewed at all. I'm out of Games of Throneses, Sherlocks, Downton Abbys...

I built a Creative Sound Solutions SDX12 into a 3.0 cubic foot sealed enclosure. I bought: this clearance cabinet this sub and plate amp combo Poly-Fil, foam gasket tape, and other miscellanea. Bob and Jim of Creative Sound Solutions were great! They tested the amp to make sure it wouldn't...

Treacherous weather yesterday evening. This video was taken in a neighborhood about half a mile from my house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7KM28chL14 I'd been keeping an eye on the Doppler weather maps a few hours before this hit. It was a fast moving cell with a pronounced hook on the...

Equalizer APO Documentation Wiki In short, it's a system-wide parametric EQ for Windows 7 and newer. Finally, there's a reason to upgrade from XP! :D Anyway, Equalizer APO's configuration is based on text files. There's no GUI. It's not exactly user-friendly, but the genius is that you can...
