Jim is wise. I owned the 12inch pro but thought it was too large to be really portable. I sold it after a year and got the 10.5 pro and I am really happy with it. I know some people who love the 12inch since they like to use the split screen feature a lot. The Apple pencil is great; the writing is much better than most (all?) Windows tablets out there including the Surface Pro IMO. https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht207582

Yeah, I would guess they would not. Is there one I can attach to the computer via USB or bluetooth?

G3 or is G3 Flex sufficient? Thanks, I thought about using my own router but I am not sure how I could set up a router in the office. Even if you use the ethernet, you have to log in to with your netid and pw here. I think I tried and failed to do this in the past.

I am thinking of getting a security camera for my office as I think that the cleaning person like to hang out in some of the offices with couches here. May also get one for the house since we have a dog and it's easier to check up on her that way. Any recommendations? I am not sure how the wifi with the camera might work since we have to log into the wifi here to use it (not just put in a pw). So maybe bluetooth may work better? I have a Mac at home and in the office. I was looking at Nest.

Wow!

This!

Sweet! Would love to hear what you think. I’m really enjoying having the HomePod on the kitchen island.

Having an infrared side burner on the grill is pretty fucking awesome. Thanks for the tip Marc. Indirect heat @225F for 30 minutes and then a 30 second sear per side on the infrared burner.

Happy birthday Raffy!

Thanks! The infrared burner seems really cool!

The thing that seems useful about the Napoleon or Saber is the fact that they have infrared burners which should be able to make a better seal.

They don't have the S-310 at the place where I am buying so I'll probably get a Napoleon or Saber. Any recommendations there?

Ok, I think I am going to get a gas grill for now and separate smoker later. We have a natural gas outlet in the backyard which is nice. Going to stick with stainless steel. Will look at, at least the S-310. I am going to check this place out tomorrow since they are highly recommended. http://www.texasstarfoods.com/gas-grills.html They seem to only have the higher end Webers. They also have Saber and Napoleon? Anyone know anything about those?

Haha, well this doesn't mean it will never happen, just might take a long long time and I need to store the CDs until I am done.

Thanks Brent.

^And when it breaks and the CDs are stuck inside???

Started ripping them all to a drive but never finished. So, no that is not going to happen. The only reason I am not just chucking them and using Tidal/lossless is because sometimes I just want to put a disk and listen to music. How would one store them without jewel cases so that I can keep them alphabetized and be able easily browse through them? I did binders/pages/sleeves at some point and hated it. Plus, t was impossible to keep organized.

I need something besides IKEA bookshelves to keep my CDs in. Do any of you have anything that has a high WAF? Can be mounted to the wall or stand alone. I think I'll probably keep about 600 CDs. The other option is to chuck them all.

Thanks! The Memphis May be out of my price range. I’ll look into the MAK.

It's summer time and I have a house so it's time to invest in a grill. My girlfriend is Korean and likes to grill ribs a lot so that is a priority. Would also like to be able to smoke brisket/ribs and sear a steak. Traeger or MAK?

Thanks guys. I will check the conductivity and then use them.

There is an option to have the cable terminated as 4pin XLR or 1/4”. I chose the XLR but why do that if not balanced?

I just got my MrSpeakers Aeon headphones yesterday. I ordered them with an XLR termination on the cable terminated assuming this meant I could use them with the balanced/XLR output on the GS-X. Then I opened the box and saw it said the headphone was a “single-ended planar magnetic headphone.” I’m confused. Is it fine to use with a balanced output? Is there any benefit? I can order the cable with a SE termination which would be better for portable use anyway.

Happy birthday Ari!

Thanks guys! I had a great birthday with Yumi and other friends. Started with brunch, then golf, and finished with bubbles, wine, and a trip to a new steakhouse here. Will be back in the Bay Area at the end of June!
