home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

I've done a lot with my Unraid server since I've last posted. I got a promo price for a Plex Pass recently. It has a few neat music library features (enhanced bios, lyrics) and would allow me to use their DVR if I upgraded my ATSC tuner. Probably not worth it, but it was half the normal price. I spe...

home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

It sounds like the NFL is going to allow streaming to phones and tablets (not sure about PCs) without a cable subscription. Smart TVs and STBs seem like they will still require you use the CBS or Fox app and then sign in through your cable company. I'll be curious to see what all is possible on Sund...

My wife and I went to the Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Nothing More, and Bad Wolves show last night. Shes huge into Breaking Benjamin and I have a few Nothing More songs on my running playlist, so the $20 lawn seat offer earlier this summer seemed pretty good. We missed Bad Wolves bec...

Jaleo keeps showing up on my searches. We are going Friday and will do the zoo and maybe Holocaust museum that day. This will end up being the main bar day day. Saturday we are hoping for a White House tour (I won't find out until a few weeks out) and will do a few museums that day. Sunday morning i...

about 95 when I found 104.7 The Revolution was when I decided that my favorite type of music was "alternative"

Ended up with the ESP. I've had it for a few months and really enjoy it. Great compliment to my LP Studio. Finally got around to rewiring it this weekend. It came with not terrible pickups. I already had an EMG Zakk Wylde set (81/85) that have been gathering dust since I sold my first Les Paul 10 ye...

My sister bought me a MoviePass subscription for Christmas that I'd been waiting for blockbuster season to activate. I knew that it was a too good to be true deal, unlimited movies per month for $10. And that ended Friday. They'd already done away with all you could watch and limited to 4 times per ...

We went to a 10:40 am showing yesterday, so it wasn't really crowded. That said, about a quarter of the theater got up and left when the credits rolled. Do they not know how Marvel movies work? I'm at the point where I feel guilty leaving when the credits to other films start, for fear I'm missing ...

Ive never seen so many people sit still through the credits completely riveted. Thank you very much to whoever hired Alan Silvestri.

The head of business development for our division is in town this week. He invited me and two others to dinner tonight, and carved out 90 minutes for me tomorrow. Wish me luck - hoping for a bit of a new role! :scared:

no arguing BTTF being his best, but at least Marvel is trying to make his (in my opinion really good) Avengers theme more iconic by using it in the marketing.

Anecdotally there seems to be interest among some of the institutional investors I work with in moving to passive investments. I've seen an uptick moving to mutual funds or ETFs instead of a customized managed account.

The neck might be a little wider but it makes up for it with a much flatter neck profile behind. Very easy to move around on. I went to Pianos N Stuff where I'd see one of them, and it was gone. They had a similar Jackson but it was for a March Madness give away. Their ESP stock was extremely limit...

ive always had Gibsons and Epiphones, so any wider neck is going to be an adjustment. In general I dont like the Ibanez body shapes and colors as much (though that one looks way nicer in person - very deep finish) but I think if I'm going to try getting my scales faster I might as well do it on the ...
