Would depend on your room of course, and you can get modern marine captain chairs, but these oldies appeal to me [image: 1780992545259-screenshot_20260609-090446_duckduckgo.jpg] [image: 1780992551804-screenshot_20260609-090809_duckduckgo.jpg]

Mark, love it, a joyous photo revealing the essence of a true hobbyist, fabulous, slightly insane I bet you have a spare 1m cable that cost more than all of my 150 juggling balls, and a wife that says the same things to you when you're searching through vinyl on the floor of a thrift store as mine does to me when I start throwing dog toys in a pet shop.

I wouldn't be unhappy about it. I only wish I had the ability to do it.

Did you know that wifi can (and presumably does) provide a 3-D imaging of you as you move around your home? Scariness is abundant!

Holy wow, that’s spectacular. I could totally live there if I had unlimited funds and several full time gardeners for the topiary.

@beelady That second one looks like it's right up my alley! Thanks!

@Axtremus I scanned a few pages just to get a feel for what's in that bill. Very interesting and a good reference. Thanks for posting it!

@AdagioM said: I sold my digital piano several years ago. Roland FP something or other. I like the way sound runs through me from my acoustic piano way better. Same! When we moved from Japan back to the U.S., for a long time (7 years?) a digital was all I had (apartment life). After I finished grad school, I kept the digital even though I had two different uprights (not at the same time), both were kind of crummy, but I always played the acoustic pianos, even though they were not the greatest instruments. But when I bought my grand, I finally sold the digital. I knew I would never play it.

@AndyD Beautiful stuff!
