Post a picture of yourself

[ericl]

This is long overdue.

We're like a little (dysfunctional) family here at the AR forums, and I've got to know what everyone looks like. Let's see some pictures. If you want, include your stereo, significant other, pets, but lets see what everyone looks like. Should be interesting.

Attached is me at Immedia's offices in Berkeley, trying to be a kool kat. We were spinning some vinyl on Immedia's kick butt system, a mix of Immedia's turntable, some burmester gear, some high-end Japanese gear, rogue audio tube amp, audio physic speakers. I was chillin'!

I'll look for a better picture of my ugly mug. Let's see them folks! Terrence, Wooch, Geoff, Loser, G and JohnMichael, SMOKEY, DeanMartin, Topspeed, everybody!!

Are you assuming where a bunch of joyous , lively, and brillant crowd . :D...but if I ever need any fashion or decorating advice I know where to ask the questions. :)

[piece-it pete]

Great idea!

Here's one of mine, from back in the day...

[topspeed]

Alas, like Pat, I'm not much of a techie either. The closest I got to computer literacy was when I followed a friend's advice to "buy the latest, greatest computer you can find...and immediately give it to your assistant."

However, the next time you come down to your old stomping grounds, I'll gladly buy you a beer :). Consider it an open invitation.

[topspeed]

If that's you, who the hell is that in your avatar?!?

Man, just when you think you know someone...

[ericl]

Well this has been productive. :rolleyes:

None of you have a pciture of yourself lurking on the computer? I forget what an old (computer illiterate?) bunch you are!!

MarkW must be a real cutie if he's afraid to put his picture on the steamy gay bar that is the AR forums!! :D Come on Mark, I showed you mine!! it's only fair! :p

Topper, you've got me. I can't deny it or joke about it anymore, I must come clean:

Gay? Are you saying that we are happy?

[ericl]

Gay? Are you saying that we are happy?
yes, you seem to be a very HAPPY bunch, almost obsessed with HAPPINESS. Even obsessed with the HAPPINESS of other men!

[GMichael]

yes, you seem to be a very HAPPY bunch, almost obsessed with HAPPINESS. Even obsessed with the HAPPINESS of other men!
Add a few more women to the board. I'll be obsessed with them and their happiness too. I like the hands-on approach.

[JohnMichael]

I could post a picture of myself but it would end some gay stereotypes. I will have to set up the EOS 10D and take a picture. After all we know what ericl, Florian and now SVI look like so what the hell. I could not possible get any fewer PM's then I do now.

[PAT.P]

How do you post a pic?Came back from work and wife is already gone shopping.I could re -shingle my roof,fix my car,ect ect but when it comes to computer Im totaly anal.

[PAT.P]

Hahahaha.... I wouldn't get too upset. Well, as long as they come with signs. I wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

[ericl]

How do you post a pic?

First you need a digital picture of yourself on the computer. If you don't have this, and no digital camera, then it will be a pain for you. You'll need to take a photo, connect the camera to the computer, and get the photo off the camera. I guess i assumed everyone stored their photos digitally nowadays.

If you've got already got a photo somewhere on your computer, then when making a post scroll down below the text window and click "Upload/Manage Photos" you can then browse to your photo and upload it, and it will be displayed in the post.

Ericl,

When I go to "insert image" I don't get a menu to browse. It wants me to enter my URL.

EricThanks ,I have digital camera ,digital movie also, but wont put full film :D Now to find one that wont make people sick.

[JohnMichael]

My first attempt at down loading a picture before I take my portrait. This is a vacation photo. I used the small preview size file instead of the full file.

[PAT.P]

Thanks ,I have digital camera ,digital movie also, but wont put full film :D Now to find one that wont make people sick.I'll try this one.

[ericl]

don't use the small insert image button.

when making a post, BELOW the text box you type into, there is box that says "Additional Options" in there there is a button that says "Upload/Manage Photos" click that. then a dialog box will pop up. in that dialog, click the "Browse" button, and you should be able to find your photo.

[PAT.P]

I'll try this one.THat was on a bad day.I'll try again.

[JohnMichael]

I'll try this one.

Sh!t, you do drag one time and it ends up on the internet.

[ericl]

25 responses, 130 views in this thread and not one single actual photo. What are we hiding folks? maybe we'll regret seeing each other?

We are just learning how to do it before we post our images. I have so much to learn about all the things you experienced computer users make look so easy.

[GMichael]

Sorry Ericl,

Once I get the posting part right I'll get on to the picture taking part. I'm not the greatest looking guy but I'm not ashamed either.
Well let's see if I can post anything.

[piece-it pete]

Man, you guys are killing me. My coworkers must think I'm nuts!!

I only have a film camera. I know, I know. As soon as I turn in my next roll of film I will post to the thread (most processors will convert firm to disc for you).

Oh yeah, this ain't a beauty contest! We are MEN, and MEN are supposed to be ugly! I just want to place faces with the names.

Some reason peole are not posting picture .1)Have alot of enemies and are hiding their cover.2)Have an Ex who trying to find them for child support payment.3)Police are looking for them on"America Most Wanted".4)They skip "Bail" and the Bounty Hunter is looking for them.5)They owe money and a Skip Tracing firm is looking for them.

I figured out how to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer. Up to date pictures of my wife and I and a picture of a bruised and battered me. It happened at the waterslides. The KAMAKAZI. I lost control, flipped and landed on my face. Knocked myself out and got 5 stitches. The water park gave me 4 free passes. I guess they felt bad. Next summer I will conquer the KAMAKAZI.........I hope. OOPS, that didn't work

[PAT.P]

Beautiful town with some amazing restaurants (French food, but without the snooty attitude and high prices that you typically find at French restaurants in the U.S.).

You are correct. We stayed there our first year in Quebec. It has become a summer tradition to spend a week in Quebec. I put money aside every month so I can enjoy all the wonderful restaurants. We used to divide our time between Montreal and Quebec but now we stay in Quebec in the old walled city and take the train to Montreal for shopping and lunch. If I have had previous lives one was lived in Quebec. I feel like I am home when I am there.

yeah, it was pretty much an experimental idea i had to try out and play with, and turned out better in some ways than i expected. it played a festival here in nyc, but nothing major and, as usual, nothing came of it (yet!).

and imo, i think the film industry is the hardest to break in to for more reasons than would fit on this server's space haha.

comedy writing is its own niche and incredibly difficult even by film standards to break in to. am not really sure what their (conan, maher, snl, etc) policies are, but they have such a massive stable of writers that they dont generally look elsewhere for material. just check out the end credits of any comedy show. especially conan who has such a pedigree himself (harvard (i think?), the simpsons, etc.) a good friend of mine used to work on the daily show and he did the standup route to get that gig on the daily show, and he and i both have a few friends running the standup circuit now and holy crap is that hard work. its no mistake that tons of standup comics can take on incredibly dramatic roles and do them better than 'dramatic' actors.

Those speakers are from the Onkyo Integra THX-System1 i used to own. Had two THX subwoofers, 3 identical centers and 2 surround speakers. It was a kick ass system and i drove it with a Onkyo Integra TX-DS939 and a Marantz DV4300 DVD player. I sold this system to move from my 1.6 Maggie system to the 3.6 :-)

My house was built in 1960. I believe the previous owners had the kitchen remodeled in the 80's. The cabinets are in great conditions. I would love to put in a new floor and counters though. If you look to the side of me, you can see a little bit of the orginal oven. The original oven, stove and fan are all working perfectly so no need to replace em. The previous owners lived here 40 years and kept the house in excellent condition.

I originally purchased (again) the Advents for nostalgic reasons as my first real "hi-fi" speakers back in '72 were Advents. New Advents (circa '78) are slightly different in that the tweeters are now ferro-fluid cooled and the crossover is simpler. I replaced the electrolytics with Solens film caps. I am continually amazed about two things: the modest amount of power a double pair requires (2 watts gives 85 db or so peaks) and their ultimate resolution capability. The rest of the garage system is mostly hand-me-down from the main one: Threshold Stasis amp, Pioneer Elite CDP and various JPS Labs and DH Labs ICs, speaker cable and power cord. While the Advents still have a touch of "boxiness" absent from most modern designs, the drivers can hold their own. Above all, their voicing is still quite balanced and natural three decades later.

I'd say restore them.

Two words: they disappear (sonically, if not visually). They can truly "float" a voice in front of you. The U-1s also achieve low end response down to the upper 20s unlike most full range 'stats..

Yeah I still gotta bunch of this stuff laying around. I've had my Panny HTIB for seven years and it's still going. I got it setup in the garage with a old Kenwood CDP. It sounds awful but it works.

I managed to talk her into letting the HT stay together for now. But the new stereo rack got packed up. Everything is just kinda here and there with the wires reaching out as far as they can go. It wouldn't make a good picture unless you put it under the "don't do it this way" heading.

[Woochifer]

Did you make those panels yourself?

Yup, homemade! Bought a $16 box of acoustic ceiling panels at a home center just to see how much of a difference they could make with taming the echoes in my room, and I was stunned at how much they tightened up the imaging up front along with subtly smoothing out the midrange and highs. Of course, my wife did not appreciate the look of five acoustic panels sitting on the floor behind the TV and speakers, and the three panels that I had lined up behind the sofa. So, I wrapped the panels with fabric and sealed the fabric to the panels with a hot glue gun. Simple and very inexpensive way to increase the WAF.

To make the panels suitable for wall mounting, I just used two strips of pine along the top of the panel and clamped them together using C-clamps. I suspend the panel from the wall using picture molding that my wife and I installed around the house, and fishing line looped through the C-clamps. The things look like they're floating on the wall, and the advantage of suspending them from a picture molding is that I can slide them around (change the height and location almost at will) without having to poke new holes on the wall.

My next acoustical improvements will probably entail using rigid fiberglas boards, because they are more effective sound absorbers and their absorption does not vary as much throughout the frequency range as the ceiling panels that I use do. I'm also looking into absorption triangles for the upper corners around the ceiling (see link below), and some Auralex LENRD bass traps in the two front wall corners.

Of course, my wife did not appreciate the look of five acoustic panels sitting on the floor behind the TV and speakers, and the three panels that I had lined up behind the sofa. So, I wrapped the panels with fabric and sealed the fabric to the panels with a hot glue gun. Simple and very inexpensive way to increase the WAF.

To make the panels suitable for wall mounting, I just used two strips of pine along the top of the panel and clamped them together using C-clamps. I suspend the panel from the wall using picture molding that my wife and I installed around the house, and fishing line looped through the C-clamps. The things look like they're floating on the wall, and the advantage of suspending them from a picture molding is that I can slide them around (change the height and location almost at will) without having to poke new holes on the wall.

My next acoustical improvements will probably entail using rigid fiberglas boards, because they are more effective sound absorbers and their absorption does not vary as much throughout the frequency range as the ceiling panels that I use do. I'm also looking into absorption triangles for the upper corners around the ceiling (see link below), and some Auralex LENRD bass traps in the two front wall corners.

I was reading about putting panels at the first reflection points and all that good stuff, but why are they behind your front three?

In my case, it's partly because my speakers have rear firing ports and I needed something to help deaden the port noise. Having the panels along the front wall is good for absorbing the front to back reverberation. My sidewalls are not amenable to hanging a 2'x4' panel, so I just have a thick quilt hanging at the first reflection point. Deadening the front wall noticeably reduced the amount of slap echo that I got from my room. My current setup is not as extreme as before; as a WAF compromise, I only use three panels up front instead of five, and as such the imaging is not quite as tight as when I had the entire length of the front wall covered.

yes yes, i have a surround sound system, but it's in the closet at the moment. Generally my emphasis is on music, so i've got the vinyl/tubes/horns thing going on.

Hmm....I have alot more questions but I will start my own thread in the future. I don't want jack this one.

Is there a particular type of music or sound tube amps are suited for vs other types of amps? I'm just curious, a simple answer will due.

Thanks. O yeah, NICE PICS!! You seem to be as neat as I am.

no, they're good with every kind of music. I listen to mostly rock, jazz, hip hop, classical, and electronic music, and they all sound great with tubes. just a different (older) technology.

And you blamed your wife for being the neat freak. Shame on you.

Ditto. I've got a pair of VTL MB-450s. Work equally nice with Madonna or Moussorgsky.

Nice Thorens table, eric. I have that same Motorola HD cable box, too.

Oh, I was refering to keeping my gear nice and neat. I do help with the housework though. I've been married 8 years so I know a few things. Keep her happy and you'll be happy. Nuff said.

With the interest in our employment in a good thread by PS I thought it might be fun to revive this thread. Ericl started this great thread asking us to post pictures of ourselves. Some of the newer members might not be aware of this and have not had the chance to contribute. With our strong sense of community it would be fun to see what more members look like. Of course if you are in witness protection or being sought by law enforcement officers we will understand if you do not participate.

[GMichael]

Wow, what a walk down memory lane. Come on new guys, post some pics. Maybe even our very own FA will toss in a pic. But please, not one from this week. Or, at least wipe your nose first.

[basite]

some of the previous pictures are gone :(

maybe I'll see if I still have a photograph of myself...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Wow what an old thread! This was before my sex change, maybe i should post a new photo?

Interesting thread. I love how it turned from pics of yourselves to pics of your gear. :cornut: And nice pics of yourselves for those who posted them. It's cool to see what you look like.

As for me...if I were to reveal my true identity to you, I'd have to kill you. And this place wouldn't be any fun if you was all dead. ;)

Such big words from such a tiny lass. Are you going to beat us all up with your 98 pounds (soaking wet)?

Don't get to the site as much as i used to, but I found this thread interesting. Nice pics by all.

Here is me with Jocelyn camping last summer. And one of the whole crew before Christmas. Hope they come out ok.
