I'm enjoying this mini thread about who goes to where for coffee. In Ottawa, we have many choices. I just went to Tim's because it was the closest. Ideally, I go to Happy Goat, or Bridgehead (which was purchased by Second cup). St

I have a bug in my Mazda 5 when my iPhone is connected to the Bluetooth. If I take a phone call, the volume is fine. But when the call is done, and either myself or the person hangs up, the audible "bee boop" sound is ridiculously

I have a pair of ($30) Yamaha NS-BP200 and a 48 year old Sony STR-7045 ($50) and an Onko CP1200A (free). They sound really good to me as the amp is really good at driving these speakers, and my Onkyo turntable benefits from excellent phono

I read that comment as: Nobody is hiring technical writers to do documentation. Side question: Are companies even hiring technical writers, or is it something most budgets don’t account for?

I kind of agree. I'm not an absolute kind of person. For day to day photos, where there is no set up, sure, the camera phones are great because you can quickly take that photo. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you.

This list is very random. You can’t lump in musical notation from the year “1033” and call it programming. They need to pick a theme at least, to make this useful.
