Turn LPs and cassettes into digital media files
Well, we’re finally moved out of the old house, and man, I didn’t know so many vinyl LPs existed in the entire world, let alone my house. And that doesn’t count the six — yes, SIX — old, non-working record players I found in the garage. So I think it’s time to turn Sarah’s LPs [...]
US military plans terror attacks at home
First, sorry for the incendiary headline. Just seemed appropriate. Someone very close to me insists that the 9/11 attacks were planned and supported, if not actually executed, by the Bush administration. I keep telling that person they’re going a bit too far.

Scientific paper heaven
Someday soon (meaning in the next few years) I’m going to go back to school. I never did get that Ph.D. in Physics, after all. Anyway, I’ve found an archive of recent scientific papers on all kinds of branches of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, biology, all kinds of things. Man, I wish I [...]
The new place
I know, I know, it’s been a month since I’ve said anything signficant here. It’s been a month since I’ve said anything significant anywhere. I have moved. No, not the site, the site’s exactly where it’s always been. I have physically picked up my family and moved to a new location, and it’s been quite [...]
