My b-day party is coming up at our place, not sure of the date. This weekend will be too soon for folks to make it, and I don't want to book the same time as plumbob's party.

We're going to to see Black Crowes at Wolf Trap on August 25. Any takers?

You Are An ENTP

The Visionary You are charming, outgoing, friendly. You make a good first impression. You possess good negotiating skills and can convince anyone of anything. Happy to be the center of attention, you love to tell stories and show off. You're very clever, but you are not disciplined enough to do well in structured environments. In love, you see everything as a grand adventure. You enjoy taking risks for love. And if things don't work out, you're usually not too much worse for the wear! You would make a great entrepreneur, marketing executive, or actor. At work, you need a lot of freedom to pursue your own path and vision. How you see yourself: Analytical, creative, and peaceful When other people don't get you, they see you as: Detached, wishy-washy, and superficial

I have some stuff I'd like to get rid of, perhaps my trash is your
treasure. Please help save the following items from going to the dump:

- Free- 2 Sun Sparc LXs- one working, one not. Loaded with RAM, running
RedHat 6.2 (and I don't mean Fedora), additional 10baseT ethernet card.
Used to be my home network firewall. Baffle your cyber adversaries by
running an OS on an arch nearly everyone has forgotten about.
- $30- Sun Sparcstation 20, dual Ross 150MHz, Redhat 6.2, 9 gig Cheetah
drive, 386mb RAM, CD-ROM, floppy, upgraded 24bit framebuffer, 10/100
happymeal. Still highly capable machine, dual proc goodness.
- Free- Spare Sun type 6 keyboard and mouse to anyone who takes away the
rest of the gear, and/or an external ultra SCSI enclosure. I also have
a 13w3 to HD15 adapter to work with normal PC monitor
- Free- Pair of Dell/Sony P1110 flat screen 21" CRTs; the last best CRT
ever sold; matched pair, one is in excellent condition, the other has
maybe a year of operation left before the tube goes. I've got HD15 and
power cables if you need them.
- $20- Hafler DH-101 preamp, tone knobs not working, otherwise fine
- Free- Older Asus mobo and 1.2GHz processor- I can probably scrounge up
enough stuff to build a complete computer, or at least some RAM to go with
- Free- box of professional film (slide and print), about 20-30 rolls in
all- Provia, Velvia, TMAX, others... been sitting in the freezer (and
later on the shelf) since I went digital

Doing some early spring cleaning- I've bought too many toys and need to
get rid of the old stuff to make room. I'm too lazy to post to eBay,
but would rather not throw anything away if its use to anyone else.

So here's an interesting fact I never knew... Lysol was the most popular contraceptive* in the US from about 1930 to 1960.

Amazing what you learn by reading Wikipedia.

* And by contraceptive, I mean a crock of shit.

Is anyone on Boxee (I'm looking in Doug and Brent's general directions) and can they invite me? Thanks!

Anyone planning on going to the TJ98 reunion next weekend, the ticket sale cutoff is this Friday (the 21st).

Hooray!
