Get better soon Buddy. It seems as if Tyll is in the Hospital with some sort of bug.

Alright, so I recently found out that Manga released a dub of this in the UK -- does anyone know if Dreamworks has any plans to negotiate something similar for the US? Or should I just go ahead and get the UK version? Also, according to the Wiki page, if the DVD says "V4" on the spine, then the subtitling is corrected (I.E. it's no longer the closed captioned version). Hirsch, you should do this. Then, you'd at least get the non-intrusive subtitles, for free, no less.

Shout out to any other Girls & Corpses magazine readers? Okay, I have to give Oddee their due.

www.gizoogle.com It's like postjack started a website that translated everything into jive

Anyone ever get this message before, when logging in to Gmail? The page sits in a state of constant refresh. I had no problems accessing stuff from work earlier today

After like a month (stupid ups) I finally get my Almarro and after turning it on one of the 6c33c's arcs... feel sorry for me.

Naaman ships out tomorrow, back to Iraq. Just want to wish him the best of luck, and a safe deployment! We're all wishing you a speedy return, and we want you home in plenty of time to be there for your new daughters birth! Keep your head down!

I used to love visual brain teaser like puzzles when I was a teen and want to pick up a few however I can't seem to find a good resource that separates the wheat from the chaff. Are any of you into puzzles? Can you recommend some of your favorites?

Here's hoping that hurricane Fay doesn't hit SoFla (or anywhere else for that matter) too hard. Good luck guys!

I'm staying in National Harbor and I'll have a rental car. I wouldn't mind driving up to an hour for a good cd/vinyl record store. Also wouldn't mind recommendations for a very nice restaurant, preferably with a set menu with a good seafood entree.

My dog Denver passed this morning. She had been declining over the last two weeks to the point where I had to carry her outside to go to the bathroom. We found out she had cancer in her spleen and liver so we decided to end the suffering today. She was 10 1/2. Here are a few pics. The one with the headphones is from the first meet I hosted:

The ex and I had to have the last of our greyhounds put to sleep today. Gypsy was a mischievious girl who always grabbed your heart and made you smile. A little brindle girl, she was always my favorite. In recent times kidney disease took over and in the end she stopped eating and was slowly wasting away. So today we ended her pain. My great comfort is that, due to staying here helping my ex convalesce from her accident, I got to spend the last two weeks with Gypsy. Several times during those days there was a glimpse of that mischief in her eyes that made me so happy. If ya got a dog around the house give 'em a ear scritch for me. It's awful empty in this house to…

This could get interesting. Official Google Blog: A new approach to China [url=http://rawstory.com/2010/01/google-no-longer-continue-censoring-chinese-searches/]Google

Google's shut down a number of music blogs, making the whole blog's content and archives inaccessible not only to readers but to the blog's authors themselves. The issue seems to be accusations of DMCA or other infringement that breach Blogger or Blogspot's Terms of Service, but bloggers are claiming they had permission and encouragement from artists and labels to post the material. More details in the article. The Twitter topic is #musicblogocide2k10. (Yes, it's normally Ric who posts these things, but at this hour I'm assuming he's sleeping the sleep of the just. Hope he won't mind my stepping in.)

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/send-money-to-friends-with-gmail-and.html Interesting that Google has made it so easy to send money. I do have to wonder just how many folks are actually aware of Google Wallet to begin with? Paypal has such a stranglehold on the market...

Some of you may be aware that in mid April I had Gastrointestinal bypass surgery. It appeared to go really well. I was recovering/responding better than anyone I've ever heard of. Then in May A Gout flareup started (I'd never been officially diagnosed with Gout, but I might have had 3-4 brief (2-3 day) flareups over the last 15 years), it was misdiagnosed at the ER which directly resulted in my having a severe G.I. bleed. I ended up almost dying, spent six days in the hospital (where I received 12 units of Plasma and 9 Units of Whole Blood). To make a long story shorter I'm still fighting the same Gout Flareup. 3 Fucking months and on-going. The last month I've been on…

Diddy calling Bjork made my afternoon at work, thanks for that.

Saturday was one of those days. Listened to music on different systems from 10:00 til 7:00. Started out at the Zu Audio demo here ATL. Got to Here the new essence, definition and a prototype they are putting out shortly. The Defenition was a very good speaker, (they all were really) Listened to them with Pass XA30.5 and pass new preamp. Also with a 2.5 watt tube monos, and the Peachtree Nove. (also used as DAC w/laptop). Other source was an Esoteric, I think he said XA-10?? I prefered the Nova as source. Two things that really impressed were the package deals Zu is offering. They are offereng The Essence, Peachtree Nova, and all cables (he said around $1K worth of ther…
