EHX.com | 22 Caliber - Power Amp | Electro-Harmonix
|
The 22 Caliber is a versatile 22-watt guitar head that fits in the palm of your hand. Just plug it into any 8- or 16-ohm speaker, and you'll get a big, sweet musical sound. Crank the 22 Caliber's volume, and it'll go into overdrive -- like a vintage amp with a single volume control. Flip on the Bright switch to add some bite and definition. It's not just a guitar head; it's a shrunken head, with all good voodoo. |

The more things Change, the more they stay the same...
today. (Actually, I put up a series of links I might be interested in
finding easily in the future, along with some text to make it clear I
qualify for an official 'Old-Fart of the Net' badge and a 'I was at
least around and at least some-what participated in he Revolution'
badge... ;->) I Started my blog, oh so many years ago,
http://www.mrgadgets.com/2004/03/ok-here-goes.html and was struck by
how my self-description of interests is just as pertinent today: MrGadgets Almanac of Techie Wizardry & Travel Compendium
A rambling mix of things that interest me (In no particuar order):
Technology,Science,Art,Commerce (Much more than just the interchange
of money. What exactly is money anyway?) Politics,Weight-Loss -
Specifically Low-Carb, Spiritual Paths as Oppossed Organized
Religion,Music,Celtic Music,Bluegrass,Cowboy Music,The latest book I
am reading. (Usually Sci-Fi/Fantasy) The lastest book I am writing.
(Same) Grail Lore,My latest travels & tips,WiFI
access,Coffee,&Everything else... I like to THINK that I have learned a thing or two about these
subjects in the interim time... ;-) More later, be it just links, or bits of drivel to tie them together!

End of an Era OR What happens when the last server goes out of Long-Term Support...
According to this: http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2010/05/usenet.html the last of the Titans is fading into memory. There are few who are around who still remember life on the interNET as opposed to the InterWEBS. It was a mythical time of magic and giants. You could pose a question on UseNet and get a response from THE World-Class Researcher/Programmer willing to impart to you all you needed to solve your Query. It was Nerd-vana. In many ways I miss it. But it was a closed world, of, by and for Geeks. And those geeks were reading things that Ted Nelson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nelson said about how cool it would be to have hyper-linked text. It would be true Computer Liberation. http://www.newmediareader.com/book_samples/nmr-21-nelson.pdf Inspired by Stewart Brand's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Brand Whole Earth Catalog our then paper-based world's guide and reference point for all kinds of before unknown information and tools, http://www.wholeearth.com/index.php we were inspired by Ted's vision of having all this and more in an electronic book you could carry with you! We may not have flying cars, but we do have this.
