Evolution of Home Audio

In the past 100 years we've gone from music-boxes and player pianos to cell phones that hold thousands of songs... from conical amplifiers to bone conduction headphones... You don't know where you're going until you see where you've been so here's the Evolution of Home Audio at WebUrbanist:

There’s no geek like an audio geek - sorry, “audiophile”. So-called sound aficionados were pushing the envelope of obsessiveness long before the rise of computers, gaming and all things Trek. Let’s look at 10 ways geeks got their grooves back - and where we go from ear.

Also, I am drunk. I had a post-paper cocktail or two, and I am imperfect. I meant that grammar and punctuation are on my mind, and I offered a minimal punctuation correction.

For weeks now, the office of my college newspaper had a display which boasted the words "Adherring to the Finest Publication Standards". I didn't want to be the officious jerk, so I left it, but yesterday I broke down and told them. Ad Herring?

PS: quotation marks outside period and comma, or inside? I never get it right.

I just had to submit a paper, so grammar is on my mind. May I offer a correction? Instead of "You don’t know where your going" it ought to read, "You don't know where you're going".

I've seen a lot of write-ups before on people who go all out for Christmas (and I LOVE those in their own right), but wow, this is the first time I've heard of someone doing something like this for Halloween. That comment from that old woman reliving the wonder of childhood in particular got to me =) Good for Ric Griffith, I hope he continues this tradition for a long time to come!

halloween was always a totally awesome event for my children growing up. we had pumpkins and a pumpkin man every year, concluding with a fantastic Halloweeen party. unfortunately some of my friends lectured me on the evils of celebrating halloween, which i never understood. I always enjoyed halloween as a kid and I did not turn out to be some charles manson character. halloween is about fantasy and this man with these pumpkins GETS IT! This would be worth the drive from Tennessee to witness. Way to go Ric!!!!
