Sigh... me too.

Happy birthday, big head boy!

Indeed. Size 8 is sometimes tight...

Break in?

Assuming they don't run out of them just as he's about to order...

This is kind of fun... at a busy train station in London.

Totally agree. First of all, 36 is just a horrific age to die. So much left to do and see and experience. Sad. But if he had to choose just one project to do first, I can't imagine he could have chosen a better one. Fantastic story, awesome music, and amazingly well constructed documentary. RIP. Wow.

Kaner!!!!

$1,249 now. Dammit, Ric!!! Thanks, but no thanks, but thanks, but... urgh!

That must be why I liked them, because I've always been a big fan of left-wing politics.

Happy birthday, Ari. Hope to see you out on the circuit again sometime soon. Haven't made an NY meeting in a LONG time, but should do so again.

Cool. Sometimes I step on toes without meaning to. Probably what annoyed you more than anything was the product itself. When I first read it, the idea seemed good, although not terribly novel. But I also found it annoying that they didn't provide much substance (like what kind of drivers, and maybe some specs) and instead relied on the "goody goody" recycling angle and then filled the entire webpage with the typical fluff (as others have pointed out here). I'm actually glad that others here pretty think they will be crap, because I was a bit tempted by the Grado-like simplicity of the design.

Geez... had no idea there was such a thread, or thusly that I violated protocol. Had to do an advanced search (just now) on the word Kickstarter in thread titles only to even find it. If it annoys you that much, just merge this thread into that thread. Assume that's within your moderator powers, no?

But eventually you do break down and buy some fricking ice cream! What the heck else are you going to do when you have to wait for so long?

Kind of interesting. No sense of what they will sound like, but the project is a go at this point. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/plpl/rock-hard-canadian-maple-headphones?ref=thanks

Happy birthday!

You might be right, but I'd imagine he's doing quite well. It's just that he no other plans. It's like he just wants to get away from it all, which sort of suggests that he's financially comfortable and now just wants to do a little more of "nothing" for a while.

I can never understand these kinds of things from a business perspective. You're making money hand over fist. Just have other people run the place for you, for fuck's sake. It's not that hard.

Best line was "wake your ass up early, put the fucking dumplings down..." This man knows Jamaicans! http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhX0W3wT7D1vDosH3b

Glad you didn't fall asleep at the wheel. I would have felt guilty, even though I kept telling you last night to get some sleep. Then boom, another message from Brent...

For Tyll. Some of these made me chuckle a little. http://www.backcountry.com/explore/the-top-10-reasons-not-to-visit-montana-ever?cmp_id=sm_fcbkexp37

^ I mean, sure... if you're not into scotch, eh Mikey? But bacon, oh ya that works!

Me too, Al. Really hits home. You've got to make it count every frickin' day, man.
