I am so glad my parents forced me to learn how to read. It’s so cool.

Here I just read an article on some research that was done to increase the understanding of how humans can use sound waves to place object positions, shapes, and sizes when visual cues are not available.

I am the Bat.

This should make audiophiles over the world excedingly happy: proof positive that we can all hear these very subtle differences in sound shape. Those who claim one simply cannot differentiate between a $50 pair of speakers and a $5000 pair of speakers are shown to be simply flapping their lips. (Not to say that all speakers are priced appropriately according to the auditory experience they will give, but you get the general idea here.)

So, to all of you who said I was an idiot for spending what amounts to a down payment on a first home on theater gear—bah! Science is my friend.
