Feb 23rd 2011 10:55AM I think Pennsylvania is worst at highway repair. And road signs. Pennsylvanians gripe about Jersey drivers, but it's not entirely their fault, Pennsylvania doesn't have a lot of signs, they are lost, and dodging potholes.

Into Vinyl? The Best Turntables Under $400 {Switched}

Oct 26th 2010 8:06AM Last winter I rebuilt my parents 1963 Sylvania console stereo and then the vinyl bug got me. I used my late 1970's Phillips turntable to play my vinyl on (spent $165 on a new cartridge), and if you have the same album on CD and vinyl, it's interesting to compare. I think generally the reverb sounds more realistic on the vinyl. I actually have Steely Dan's "The Royal Scam" on Vinyl, CD and the reissue, 20 bit remaster, and they all sound a little different. The amazing thing is how good records sounded by their demise in the late 80's. Joe Jackson and The Police had me wondering what was so wrong with records that we all went to CD so quickly.

As for my Emerson, Lake and Palmer, I don't think it stood the test of time too well. They were one of my faves, and I saw them in concert 3 or 4 times, but putting on the old records made me wonder, what did I see in this music. Great musicians, but the music is pretty overblown.

I wish I had "Frampton Comes Alive!"

Zapped -- Why Your Technology Is (Really) Bad for Your Health {Lemondrop}

Oct 18th 2010 7:26AM Everyone here is cutting on her because they have enough basic science to realize that cell phones don't produce ionizing radiation, can't damage DNA and don't cause cancer. Check with Bob Parks at the University of Maryland for the details. Just Google Bob Parks What's New for the facts, not just conjecture from a non-scientist.
