I lost activity on this forum for quite a while because I disappeared to move to a new city, start a new job, get married, buy a new house, and generally have a very busy year. But I came back because ….well, I just had a story I wanted to tell :D   So my journey through WISdom (WIS = Watch...

I had a rabbit nearly 9 years ago. Her name was Bunny (Yes, we were very creative about that... :P) I miss her :( She loved being a brat and her favorite thing to do was hop up when you were eating a bowl of ice cream and shove her face right into it. She definitely had a sweet tooth. She also...

Quote:   I was in the same boat as you about 2 years ago. I started noticing the shortness of breath and the increasing width of my pants and finally, stood on a scale. I was shocked to realize that in 3 years I had managed to put on close to 45 lbs! (from 180 lb when I graduated from...

26 going on 27 in a couple of months.   Spent the last 5 years working as a Field Engineer/Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Engineer for an Oil and Gas Services company. Will be finishing up my last few days, as I transition to being a Subsidence Engineer for one of the major Oil and Gas...

Quote: If you haven't already, grab yourself a styptic pencil. You can get a nice cheap one for little under/over a dollar at your local Walmart. Works really well at cleaning up nicks quickly!

Quote: I use the same brushes my grandfather uses in India to this date (he actually purchases them for me in prep for my trips to India. They cost Rs 50-60 apiece (Little more than $1). I have yet to have any real problem with them and have noted minimal difference between this one and...

Quote: Tell me about it :P I have a moustache and it really did start growing in around 10-11. I took a lot of crap for it until I graduated high school and everyone realized that the goatees it took them a month to develop sprouted onto my face within a week :D

I use a DE for shaving at home, but when I'm at work, I don't have the time for prep, so I have been using a Fusion that I got free from my Dad, but I'm fed up of the uselessly expensive cartridges and the fact that they clog up so easily. I was looking at 'downgrading' the 5-blade razor to a...

Quote: I think Power Rangers-The Movie beats that one out. I borrowed it from a friend for a nostalgia kick and was surprised to realize that almost THE ENTIRE 90 minute movie is one-liners :D     Quote: Personally, I though Jurassic Park was one of the best cast movies...

I gotta post pictures of my shaving equipment when I get back home, but I did amuse the guys up here at work when I got up a few nights ago and realized that I hadn't bought a can of shaving goo up here for shaving. Unfortunately, per safety regulations, I am required to stay clean shaven up her...

You know, it's interesting - I was in the same spot back when I started on Head-Fi. "I listen to everything but country" That really started to change when I got out here to work. Actually, two things changed that for me. The first was coming to work. I currently work as a field engineer in the...

I'm 26, but I've been using HP calculators myself for the last 10 years since I got out of High School. My High School graphing Calculator was a budget Casio Grapher, and when it broke, I grabbed the new HP 49 that dad bought and was disappointed with and never looked back. But I remember...

Quote: The Keys on the 49 were atrocious. They were put together in some sort of array so that if you pressed on too often or hard enough, it broke and the rest of the keys in that array became loose and jiggled around also. Very happy that they fixed that issue with the 50. However, the...

Quote: Yeah, my mom bought me a tri-foil about 5 years back, and that thing died in under 3 months, while the Hitachi kept chugging on. I imagine sooner or later, I'll have to resharpen the razors, though.

Well, in the Electrical Engineering field, for what you want, I'd push more toward Electromagnetics and High Frequency Communication. I think the information in there will pertain more to Audio and construction of Audio Equipment than Power (which is baseline power generation and transmission...
