While at The Analog Room today took a look and listen to the new RP8. Sexy.

Hate to say, but especially when on the road McD is still a stop. Probably not surprising it's mostly about speed and when no other better options are around, but I will say you can still get a double cheeseburgerish (McDouble) for $1 in most towns. As all drink sizes are also a buck, you can basically get two double cheeseburgerishes and a large Coke for near the price of just a soda at the last deli I went to. Course quality, calories, etc. are a separate discussion. Although you can escalate the price (post-McCafe original intro), it's still easy to keep things cheap. Not sure how price plays a part in all this, but just realized my Five Guys normal order ends up usually being near twice the price of my In 'n Out normal order, which is twice the price of my normal McDonalds order, which is about twice the price of a soda from a convenience store.

In UAE there was a restaurant with the slogan "Home of the Whooper" and whose speciality sandwich was the "Big Mag." I recommend that place. If you have difficulty finding, it's near a pizza place where all pizzas taste like marshmallows.

Thanks. Will look into. Was at a lecture last night on the 100th anniversary so all about the Rite.

Plowing through all the Rite of Spring versions around the house. DSD.

LUV YA!

100 years on: Igor Stravinsky on The Rite of Spring http://feedly.com/k/13VtnoF "It is scarcely believable that The Rite of Spring, and before it The Firebird and Petrushka, were written by a composer still in his twenties, and that this was only slightly more than a decade after the death of Johannes Brahms."

Atlas of True Names The Atlas of True Names reveals the etymological roots, or original meanings, of the familiar terms on today's maps of the World, Europe, the British Isles, Canada and the United States. For instance, where you would normally expect to see the Sahara indicated, the Atlas gives you "The Tawny One", derived from Arab. es-sahra “the fawn coloured, desert”.

I haven't seen it since the original airing, but does the ending also seem much less nebulous now? Requiem For A Heavyweight And Remembering James Gandolfini: 10 Great Roles

Maybe, but looking at some of those guys around Mr. Plaid, I suspect there were equivalents.

Very nice. Good choice. A Timbuk2 case arrived today. Now just need something for inside.

Mainly because of the Blue Note Spotify app, I'm considering jumping ship from MOG. Anyone have a good reasons not to?

Just think how much longer a heavier 13" MBA would have taken.

Speaking of analog comebacks...

Maybe that's why their Head Amp One and Two are MIA.

Anyone heard this thing? "For electrostatic + magnetostatic + dynamic headphones." Just showed up on a Todd email.

One DAC for PCM. One DAC for DSD. Solved.
