Next: The Home Entertainment 2009 Photos

Once again, the page map and table of contents won’t show the new pages while we spend most of today [I hope I get done today] adding about 672 photos of THE Show at the Alexis Park. This is to speed the process both for us and for people looking at the 3100 older photos while we add all these pages.

Then we’ll be [more or less] done. Then I can get back to having a life. Ugh.

The Venetian Completion

Whew!

Not sure about doing THIS again anytime soon.

3100 photos so far. My poor clicker finger.

Hopefully the Alexis Park will be up in a few days as well. Then it is on to the next issue which will be normal sized. Normal being 100 – 200 pages.

Surprised no one has commented on my avatar being Gandalf the White. While he is still one of my favorite characters, I will probably replace him with my own photo sometime. Much as I hate looking at my own face [and I am sure you think likewise about my face as well :-)], I think it will promote a feeling of honesty and reduce that anonymous coward type posts we see on those other boards if at least a few people represent themselves as themselves.

And, besides, I look more like Gandalf the Gray – give me a few years – then it will all be white.

A few notes

I will be adding a lot of photos in the next day or so, and, for various reasons, I am not sometimes going to delay the update of each and every page so that it knows the last page number. What all this means is that you should go to the front page, and it will be up-to-date and it’s page map will have all of the new pages listed.

For those of you who have not noticed – the following browsers, in order of raw speed, are now about 10 times faster than Internet Explorer [the new dial-up]:

Google Chrome
Apple Safari
Firefox

Cruising with the Mouse Wheel really screams.

Hope people are enjoying being in on the beginning of a new high-end audio magazine. I certainly would have loved being part of HiFi+, or TAS, or whoever, in the early days. Able to put in my two cents about what they would do. But maybe that is just me.

Elsewhere – we are doing shootouts here periodically, but requested not to publish the results.

And contrary to the doom-and-gloom, Chicken Little, fear-mongering, ‘news’ ‘media’ – this February is almost a normal February for us.

And if we didn’t have this show encyclopedia, now looking to be 3500 photos, I might be able to get some sleep. 🙂
