    I Should Move Where??

    Nothing new, really. The BA is friggen expensive. SF prolly the worse of the worst. I can't ride, 'cause I can't * also * pay for a garage in the City and things are eating up all of my money. The job pays OK, but doesn't pay like the tech job I had. At least during the time of...

    This Day in History

    I just happened to run across this and since it's a favorite... In 1888 the 36-inch refracting telescope at the Lick Observatory near San Jose, the largest in the world until 1897, was used for the first time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lick_Observatory

    R1200ST from Alaska

    A friend of mine's brother left his appx 2006 BMW R1200ST in Alaska and I was just presented with the idea of my riding it back to the 48 for him. Such a trip is pretty long -- in distance the same scale as riding to the East Coast. Would you do such a thing on this sort of bike? How...

    Helmet Cams

    I'm on two wheels again, but a bicycle for now. Hopefully, I'll be on the moto and I will want one or two cameras... mainly for evidence should something stupid happen on the road. What are people liking nowadays?

    Small LCD and Large LDC and LDD and VGA and XLR :teeth

    I'm gathering gear to do a very special music recording project, and well, BARF is BARF so you never know what someone may have lying around that they want to get rid of for pennies. I'm looking for free-to-cheap, so old and beat up (but functional) is fine with me. I'm looking for: - 4 or...

    I've uploaded my photos at https://flic.kr/s/aHsmxRC6rS but they will eventually disappear from there. Same photos are here, just slightly smaller versions.

    Amazon Air Clarkson

    http://mashable.com/2015/11/29/amazon-prime-air-jeremy-clarkson Amazon has a video showing, essentially, proof of concept for packages delivered by drone. Do you think it can work? How often do you think they'll be downed by teen-aged pranksters and professional thieves?

    Sourcing Parts

    I'm thinking about making a bunch of kites. Anybody know about good resources for things like carbon fiber and plexiglass rods? How about getting small plastic parts fabbed up?

    Givi Topcase at SF Goodwill on Geary

    Not mine, but it's been sitting there for a week and someone should pick it up. I didn't check for a model number. It says "monokey" on the side. They said they thought they had a key. It looks like it has some mounting equipment with it. (I don't know what it needs, I just saw that it came...

    Suggest a Different Author

    Since bruceflinch created his thread I realized that I need help finding some good books for me. My primary criterion is different though: I want books that have a lot of good vocabulary. See, I'm going to apply for graduate school before too long and I need to improve my vocabulary to the...

    How Music Affects Us

    So, I remember this book I picked up briefly at a record store in Tulsa, OK, in about 1984. It was about Reggae and on a page or two it hypothesized that different parts of the music (and / or sound spectrum) affected different parts of the body. It was something like: - The bass and the...

    How often do you PUI and/or first think, "I'll post about this on BARF"? -- Yes, it's prolly a flawed and non-scientific poll, but :teeth !

    Historical BARF Traffic

    So, I've been off-again, on-again a few times since 2008, but this time of being on-again, it seems like BARF has less traffic than it did a few years ago. Is this true? Do we have data? If it is changed, do we have data and / or speculation why it's changed?
