I thought the concrete computer was a gag gift for someone... I couldn't figure out why you were trying to get it to boot (I'm fairly certain that it would overheat in seconds) and then ripped the faceplate off it.

Can you program the CNC machines to play music?

[Physicsduck]

@ambrandt420 Yes, and that will be happening in an upcoming video. :)

A nice G Scale around the MDH would be pretty sweet. Just too bad G Scale tends to cost a fair bit more than others.

@amfan12 I grew up with G-Gauge live steam (My Dad's layout). I started with stationary steam engines and moved to HO as an adult. Dad just went up in scale, his are big enough to ride on now and the layout fills his yard. ;)

How are you going to get a fiber channel to GH5?

46:23 Someone should make that into a message tone :D

[Physicsduck]

@isashach It's only a few blocks.

As one year gone on the Leonard St. Labs, we, as a collective geek group (no pun intended) have seen many wonderful, surprising, exciting, funny and informative things from The Geek Group. And I am probably joined by others in saying: "MANY MORE GEEKY AND WONDERFUL YEARS TO COME" Thank you: (forgive me if i forget anyone) Chris, Moose, Dave, Batman, Eakin, Kory, Steve, Liz, Red, Gibroni, Dave, Bill, The radio Guys, OMNI and EVERYONE else at The Geek Group. THE GEEKS SHALL INHERIT THE UNIVERSE!

@BTTF07KD that's an interesting story that I will tell in today's episode.

What was the emergency run to Thumper in the middle of the night?

I've been watching geekgroup vids for i think a year to 1.5 years, and captain's vlogs for at least a year. I've watched almost all the captain's vlogs in existence and i've gone back to watch the available geekgroup vids from time to time. You guy's are absolutely amazing! I would love to visit sometime, but i really don't need a tour, cuz i know the building quite well. :) Can you believe though, i've yet to become a member and have never visited the forums? o.0 Here's to another year guys!

$7.10 locally for a 3/8 eye nut... You actually got a decent hardware store! Hard pressed to find one for much cheaper, even online.

Welcome to the wonderful world of H4N ownership. It's a fun place to live.
