<rant>I just signed up for a 30 day trial of Spotify (not attached to my FB account) and so far I hate hate hate it. (I was hoping that it would be reasonable since there is an app on Logitech Touch.) The desktop app keeps trying to connect to all kinds of weird sites on weird ports like "Spotify wants to connect to 98.220.235.210 on TCP port 52655" (according to Little Snitch). In this case, it is just Comcast (either an ad or getting information from Spotify). In either case, it is just annoying. Also, I hate the layout of the desktop app (too much crap on it)!!! </rant> I guess I might end up using BeatOff after all.

Just finished Season 1 of a True Detective - liked it a lot and looking forward to Season 2!

I thought the best streaming you can get was 320 mp3. I just glanced at the results so maybe his test is flawed.

I really like the Lagavulin 12 cask. I have the Glenfarclas 21yr but it isn't really my thing. It is growing on me though.

I am interested in this as the CD player in our car does not work properly.

I want to accidentally buy a Black Diamond.

Sounds fantastic.

Gotta agree with Jack here!!!!!!! I am very interested I how the HA-1 performs as a DAC. It would be sweet for the office.

Shit... why didn't I get HBO before. I've been paying for Netflix disk (and waiting for disks) when I could've had HBOgo all this time to watch everything instantly.

I just added HBO (at least for a couple of months) so I can finally watch this.

Happy Birthday Justin!

A home cooked Indian meal (Tim's grad student's mom who is visiting from Calcutta). Nimki Peas Palao Dal Methi chicken (my favorite) Lamb curry (Tim's favorite) Raita Payesh

I still really love the Bihn stuff.

Sorry Brent

Sorry Brent

Happy Birthday Ari!!!

Bummer indeed!

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes! I got my senior grades in late this afternoon and have been celebrating ever since.... Cheers!

That must have been an expensive cake! Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Unfortunately, I am grading all day today (grades for seniors are due tomorrow) so won't be doing any real celebrating until tomorrow. I should be able to find time for a drink or two though.

Happy Birthday!!!

That does sound like a good plan. I'll have to look into the details. It maybe difficult to do because I wont be paying for the flight.

Sorry Grahame!

Hmm, I will be flying to Wisconsin in September... maybe I can get a layover in Chicago.

I've never been there.

Very cool Jim
