  1. Certainly curious! Interesting that it's upsampling. Between this and the NWD, are we seeing a revenge of the upsamplers?
  2. Curious about the sound, but also on how you plan to stack?
  3. Oh iPhone 5 owners... http://goldendreams.ch/english/all-collection-i5.html
  4. I hadn't had PopTarts in at least a decade and a half until recently. My fave, unfrosted cherry (now that's porn name), seems to have disappeared (at least on the West Coast). To the detriment of American society, strawberry seems to have bumped it off the selves. Not long ago I saw a frosted cherry box at a drugstore. Good enough. Was so great after so long. A few days later I bought another box. Big mistake. Stomach and teeth hurt. Need to wait another 15 years I guess.
  5. Happy Birthday!

  10. Just a few more minor thoughts on Catcher... Although HC's 'fight against the world' likely reads best at a certain point in the readers life, the book still can work later when said reader is likely more critical of HC's POV, no? I'm not sure we're to read his telling of his recent past from a mental hospital bed as entirely pro-HC. Then again. And even if we are, look where Salinger heads next - Franny & Zooey. If Catcher is read as the big bad world teardown (or connected personal break up), F&Z is the resulting personal build up (and a much better book - or two connected shorts). Probably the reason Catcher is found in so many murders pockets and F&Z is not. Course by F&Z we're introduced to the Glass family and the world gets a whole lot more complex (and Salinger begins his slide to checking out, drinking urine and watching non-stop Andy Griffith Shows). Also, as Jacob hinted at above, how you approach Catcher fresh when it's become so culturally saturated? Everyone's already seen HC's POV repeatedly if they've several dozen movies, hundreds of pop songs (even genres?), who knows how many novels/shorts, etc. Does it read like it should be banned now? Did its success make it irrelevant? Unfortunately, someone else fucking liked the name too. The real deal.
  11. Catcher's often ignored first and last chapters give context, no (22's location also)? I may be bias as named our daughter after a character in a lesser known Salinger short. And well most of his stuff seems best at a certain age (though I do have a soft spot for the last ~75 pages of Franny & Zooey). I definitely need to reread Catch-22 again too.
  12. ^ This. Rinse and repeat.
  13. The former can be irritating, but yes I meant the Parasounds (or any 16/48 limited DAC). Never found a satisfying solution (they were rarely connected to computer so couldn't downsample on fly, disliked dual libraries or files, didn't trust older Squeezeboxes cutting at 16/44.1-48, was having dropped frames with Airport Express and mother router. etc.). If I had a decent on-the-fly solution the Parasounds sound, well was to my taste. Fingers crossed. Really curious how it and NWD will compare.
  14. If it's easier just scream compliments... with a sarcastic voice. Or better yet confuse them and just scream compliments.
  15. I regret selling my Parasounds also (though preferred the 1600 and didn't have the 2000 long enough to really know). Then again dealing with high res files were starting to get irritating.
  16. Just saw one myself (at Valley Fair mall where they're right across from each other). Most strangely Microsoft doesn't have it's name above the door. Just an icon. At least that's square and currently no bite out of it. http://www.flickr.co...lad/7449319650/
  17. The only dealership I've ever seen is a couple miles from Google. Are they Trekkies?
  18. It's not mentioned, but in case you're interested in alternatives...
  19. I'm guessing that was the original sticker peel (and they occasionally print).
  20. I'm drunk. I get one freebie, right?
  21. Thank you YouTube!
