  1. A sad, sad day for our state. We are all in shock, anger, disgust, & overall mourning. It's clear from the news coverage that the rest of the country shares in this in a very personal way.

     

    Hopefully we will get more answers in the coming days & weeks. In the meantime, as you all have said, our hearts & prayers go out to those most immediately affected - the victims & their families.

  2. Nice pics from all the NYC riders - congrats!

    Ari - do not call, email, text, or communicate in any way with this girl. Ignore her. She will interpret this as you having more important things to do, including other women in the wings waiting to pick up the slack. She will either:

    1. Contact you within a few weeks, casually asking what you've been up to, in a thinly veiled attempt to get find out if you have a new girlfriend.

    2. Send you a text at 2am on a Saturday nite asking if she can come over.

    3. Call you crying on New Years Eve telling you she misses you.

    4. Never contact you again.

    In any of these scenarios, you come out ahead. Trust me.

    Cheers buddy.

    Ok, so I first have to fess up that I "music-stalk" Haj's posts, as his tastes align quite abit with mine. So, I've had this recording on my "to-buy" list for a while now. It's easily available online, but never popped up at any of my local brick-&-mortar stores. Yesterday, while perusing the music section (CD's, vinyl, tapes) of one of the nearby Goodwill's, I came across a cassette tape of this & thought I'd pick it up for 50 cents.

    Currently listening at my work desk out of my old Panasonic Shockwave RQ-SW10 walkman & cheap Sony earbuds. Dunno if it's just this particular recording, but I don't remember tapes sounding this good.

    Thanks Haj!

  4. Not streaming Luther via Netflix last night because my PS3 (fat 160G) required yet another fucking Sony update which coincided with said PS3's subsequent crap out, vis-a-vis the dreaded red blinking power light on restart. From what I've been able to cull from the Internets, this is likely a motherboard issue requiring a repair. Shutting off the main power switch overnight didn't help. Damn, less than four years of extremely light use as soley a Blu-Ray player/Netfix streamer (never had a game played thru it). Seems to be the average lifespan of electronics these days. angry.png

  5. Netflix via wi-fi connected PS3 works pretty well these days. It used to be kinda buggy, but lately works with minimal babysitting. Even Sony's updates have quieted down lately.

    Hi-Def content (music or video) over wi-fi is not a good plan. But the PS3 does allow connection of external USB storage devices, including hard drives & even USB sticks, from which to play media content just as if it were stored locally inside the PS3 itself. This has worked pretty well for us too.
