  3. F*%k it. Just ordered the JH13 too for DSP-free listening. Time to dismantle the K1K rig.

    Good one today (from 03/09). I know a few of us have the book.

    After getting the iPad I immediately bought a few ebooks and have yet to complete one. Hell, I've yet to finish a sampler. Between the eye strain and the draw to check RSS feeds, etc. this is the one area the iPad hasn't been a complete success for me. Well, the other areas successes might be the problem. Although I wish the Kindle had native ePub support like the Nook, converting non-DRM files seems simple enough (and DRM ones I could care less about format). Every title I've checked has Kindle editions cheaper than B&N, iBooks, and Borders ebooks and all, including Amazons, paperbacks. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I haven't come across one in the last couple weeks (admittedly have only looked up a dozen titles). Audiobooks to me is all about commutes. Increase or decrease that and their use adjusts accordingly. I listen to about a tenth I did five years ago. Well, that and podcasts have nudged them aside a bit - that damn This American Life app! Tack on the weight difference with the iPad and I hope this is going to be a solution. Fingers crossed. if not, at least it will be a way to share ebooks with others. Toss them the Kindle/iPad while reading the other.

    Longform

    Any other Longform readers here? Just found it a few weeks ago and coupled with Instapaper makes a nice break from the regular interweb ruts. Longform.org
  15. At least his gel seems to work for pool. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biWEm2V1y3Q&feature=player_embedded
  16. Probably not the quantity, but the timing. I doubt streaming a podcast over an hour versus downloading one over two minutes has the exact same network impact. Especially when grabbing bunches of podcasts, that at least I do. AT&T or Apple though bumped it from 10MB to 20 last year, which at least helped.
  17. Finishing off a hot weekend with Jackie McLean's 4 5 and 6.
  18. I don't get the fascination, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1jS59uJ3PA&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apcv0EgsuwU&feature=player_embedded
  19. Fun silhouette.
  20. Thanks to faust3d's reminding, and a quick find on the interwebs, The Lounge Lizards' No Pain for Cakes.

  22. Damn, forgot about them. Used to run a bakery and ended nearly every night for six months with red wine and their No Pain For Cakes blasting.
