I built the ball machine because I thought my dog
Jerry, might like it and that it would be
something fun for me to build. So after two years
of on and off work, with many safety features such
as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my
son from the machine, I finally complete.
Far from being a replacement for me, I was always
right there with him enjoying his fun. And with
all the troubles that I went through to build the
ball machine, I still end up throwing more balls
than that the machine could count! According to
the computer, he played with the machine by
himself only 3 times in his life.
I recently put this video on YouTube to keep alive
my earlier memories of him and (hopefully) provide
some "humorous distractions" for anyone that might
drop by.
Please enjoy the video. Tags :daschundminiwienerdogballmachinetennisballmachinejerrydogstupidpettrickscontraption

Rachmaninov was of course the brilliant virtuoso
we all know, but as a genious composer he has as
well his place in the standard classical
repertoire. Here we hear him play the adagio
sostenuto from his second piano concerto. This
unique recording with the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra directed by Leopold Stokowski was made
for RCA in 1929. Tags :SergeiRachmaninovpianoconcertoNoStokowski78RPM

Utterly destroys him. Colbert never breaks
