  1. Finally, real footage of a Nickelback recording session! http://bit.ly/sanbP (via @bshermcincy)
  2. @MrGuilt Congrats!!
  3. @CliffOnKeys I finally learned you can release the Excel COM object (don't remember exact method) and call gc.collect. That gets rid of it!
  4. Attack of the blindingly obvious: when photographing fireworks, it helps to bring a tripod.
  5. The Onion: "As a regular Burger King patron, [...] I don't give a flying $%&? what I put into my body." http://bit.ly/uDP9K
  6. One dreary 4th in Cincinnati.
  7. Just received an e-mail from Barack exhorting me to "celebrate and aspire." I was thinking more "fornicate and perspire," but whatever.
  8. Every time somebody mentions Degrassi I think of acoustic guitarist Alex de Grassi.
  9. @_iheartzombies ...not sure why I didn't buy some @amandapalmer then, must've gotten distracted :-) Think I will now...
  10. @_iheartzombies Listening to @amandapalmer now on MySpace. Great stuff! Feel like I've heard before, maybe via link of yours...
  11. I have only just discovered Losers Of Friday Night On Their Computers. (Is it more or less pathetic when it's a holiday?) #LOFNOTC
  12. Cincinnati-area weather outlook for Saturday evening fireworks is not so great.
  13. I receive an astonishing number of political e-mails thanking me for things I did not do.
  14. But please don't replace a ballast unless you know what you're doing.
  15. Ballasts aren't terribly expensive. If your fixture has an annoying buzz, upgrading to an electronic ballast may fix it.
  16. The label on the ballast should indicate compatible tubes, too. Don't just go with what was in there; they may have been the wrong kind.
  17. Just found a damaged ballast--at some point in its 30+ year life it had spewed black stuff, apparently from overheating.
  18. Inspecting the ballast is a really good idea any time you replace fluorescent tubes, even if you have to open up the fixture.
  19. I fired (unfollowed & unsubscribed) a longtime useful-info provider. Inserting his opinion is one thing; insulting my intelligence, another.
  20. @nogginblender I think of Batesville as a local company...Michael Jackson is one swanky client!
