Dunhill sits here much more than I do. Those are special babies!

And does Dunhill like the Sennheiser's? 🙂 Just a lovely kitty, looks a bit like one of my previous cats, Gryphon. I really like tuxedo coloring.....

I see what you did there, Mr. Lawyer.

Frontline takes a look at the rise of Amazon. This was very good. It is also nice to see that Amazon took it seriously and made most of the top echelon of execs available for interviews. We are in totally uncharted waters going forward as it feels impossible to think of any historical analog to what Amazon is today. I've definitely been re-thinking some of my own Amazon shopping in the last year as I don't think the company really shares my values. https://www.pbs.org/video/amazon-empire-the-rise-and-reign-of-jeff-bezos-xpco5j/

As far as I know, he has never listened to them! Silver likes Bossa Nova, though. I like Tuxes, too: I've yet to meet one that wasn't a sweetheart.

so I have to say I absolutely love the niche at this point. It's a very well thought out grinder, especially for espresso.

got my es1a yesterday. need more time, but first listen, they sound great! i also bought the kaldas rr1 out of curiosity. I might like these es1a more then my sr009 and sr007mk1

iPad + y-cable

Maybe a cheap DAC streamer is the go, something like a iEAST Sound Streamer. You’d need a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable, the Android tablet should work fine with an existing wifi network. I agree consolidate the music files onto a single (wireless) hard drive, then a media player of sorts installed onto the tablet.

This looks awesome. Too rich for my blood, but I bet the combination sounds incredible. I have a pair of T+A Criterion floor standing speakers, and they are a great sounding pair. This company knows what they are doing.

What's the Naim of that record?

Because - reasons....

"T+A stands for “theory and application” in all areas of audio technology." Yah. Right.

TL;DW.

Tried to get some ice fishing in before the thaw...Found ice fishing to be pretty damn boring.

Took Mary and Lance to the airport at 3 am for their flight to Columbus OH. This will be Lance's last Junior Olympics. It has been a good ride all these years but the next phase of his life is about to begin. 🤨 A season of "last's" tournament wise. Hopefully this one will bring great memories and a whole lot of fun as national points and standings do not matter at this point. Glad I have a place here to unload because fencing is stressful...for the parents. Hah!

I work in an office in a building where there are also 3 or 4 other companies. Yesterday, our doorbell rings. The people who normally answer were out in a group meeting, so I and one other went to the door, to find a flower delivery man. My colleague is saying that the name doesn't sound familiar as I'm walking up. But he's newer, and may not know everyone, so I ask the name. Flower man tells me, and I say, "Hmmmm, not here, but I actually used to work with someone by that name....." [though it was a different spelling for first name]. Anyway, flower man checks one other company on our floor, not there....so I decide to help, and check it out on LinkedIn. Ah, OK, she works in the company downstairs....and then, I realize it IS my old colleague (and I had the spelling of her first name, Stacey, with no "e" in my mind)! So I went down to see her, but she was stuck in meetings. She contacted me online, we'll get together next week.... Haven't worked with her since 2002/2003, and then last saw her maybe 2.5 years ago at a concert during a Summer Folk Festival in Lowell MA.....and I find out she's been working on the floor below me for over a year! Small fucking world......

Aww, cute! Here are my kitties. They are about 6 months old - we got them in November. They are super loving.

Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Asante's adoption already! When she first came home she was so scared she hid in the corner behind the bookcase and refused to come out other than to eat or drink. Now she follows me around like my shadow, at least when she isn't playing or resting on her heated pad.

Do watch this then... Amazon selling shit that will probably give people cancer.

All weekend without being able to leave home ... fucked in the dust
