Downsizing

Post by Glenn »

We're in the process of updating our basement so the huge shelving for my audio system had to be downsized.

Here's the old shelving, 3/4" plywood and cinder blocks. Built this back in 1975.

I moved the records into one of the closets.

this is actually made from (3) IKEA end tables. I saw this idea on the interweb. You cut the legs to length so your equipment fits.

Agreed. I have an iphone 4s for work, and a Note2 for my personal phone. No contest which one I like better- the Note.

I REALLY wanted to like the Galaxy5, and the HTC One - honest.
I was trying to convince myself to make the jump (admittedly for one app in specific)
But the iphone just has a better feel, fit and finish.
The Samsung felt like it was plastic, and the HTC had SO many options and bells-whistles that it was confusing.

I have a Motorola, alloy frame, Kevlar back. Feels just like ____ in my hand.

You better copy-write that before Motorola steals that for it's logo!

The iPhone and the Note feel the same to me. They're both in otterboxes.
