No shit! Doug Aguilar was one of the guys that I knew there. He was one of those guys that worked there for a crazy number of years. I lived at the Upstart Crow coffee house in the Pruneyard across the street (actually married one of the baristas from there).

RIP Russ! The first records I bought were from the North Beach Tower Records in the summer of 1968 (I was 13 and lived in Georgia). Alices's Resturant and Trout Mask Replica. Three years later I was back there (without my parents this time on a pot fueled trip from New York state). I had a few friends who worked at the Tower in Campbell Ca. It was a great place to hang out and some of those guys were lucky to have a place like that to hang their multi colored, multi pierced hats.

RIP David Ogden Stiers!

RIP Rodger Bannister! One of the legends of track.

Happy Birthday Nate! Hope you had a fun ride and excellent day!

Happy Birthday Craig! Get out and enjoy that spring weather!

There's some crazy temp swings happening in the arctic too. Not a good sign IHMO.

Happy Birthday Naaman! I hope Dr. Naaman will give you a few minutes to do a little celebrating.

I Can't Stop Watching!

Happy Birthday Dan!

Bear in mind that when I mentioned Bad Robot Studios, I used that as an example of someplace with the unlimited budget to jump on these as they're being released. I think we're talking over $10k while it's on the bleeding edge. But, it will apply downward pressure on the rest of the market. I paid about $700 for a 2T Evo 850 not too long ago and OWC has Micron (Crucial) 2T ssd's on sale for under $400.

Samsung has unveiled the video studio's dream storage unit. How many would Bad Robot need? https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/2/20/17031256/worlds-largest-ssd-drive-samsung-30-terabyte-pm1643

Happy Birthday and get well soon!

Mikey, I can see that these folks aren't impressed with our puny NW snow. Me, I was dancing around on my deck when it really got going! Don't worry, the old girl should handle it just fine. Just keep an ice scrapper in the trunk.

Gotta admit that I'm not familiar with these (in any format). I'm hoping for a thorough review Peter?

Very sad. Condolences to all.

Woke up to the first snow I've seen in a long time! It only stuck around for a couple of hours but it was exciting for someone who lived in San Jose Ca for the last 35 years.

Happy Birthday Colin! Hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday Steve! Have a great day! (in California!!!!!!!)

Happy Birthday Ed! I hope your cardio issues have responded to treatment. Don't be such a stranger or just post here more often. Enjoy the day!!!

Yup, that's right up there! I started looking at the surface it's sitting on. Basement floor would be my guess? And, aren't those real sutures? Maybe this freak is helping to pay his way during a surgical rotation?

That is awesome Brent! I did look at this last night and went away pining for the Janus Collection. I use a lot of storage for stuff like sample libraries so I keep an eye on the prices of SSD's. I've been stoked at the way the price of these devices has been dropping the last couple of years and it looks like Crucial/Micron is going to turn up the heat. 2T Micron 1100 for $387.99 at OWC! I bought a 2T Samsung Evo 850 about a year ago for around $700 and that was a great deal. The Crucial was around $600 at the time but I went for the extra 2 years of warranty (5 vs 3) on the Sammy. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micron/DAK20T0TBN/

Yoo-hoo Calling Trice. Happy Birthday Stephen! I hope things are going great for you.

Just finished Altered Carbon. Loved it! It did have a couple of episodes that were pretty schizoid but IMHO confusing the reader/viewer is part of the genre (there always seems to be an undercurrent of distain for the casual viewer/reader but that is part of the "punk" part of cyberpunk). I'd like to go back and really look at the visuals and listen to the sound now. But you know how that goes!

I just use the app. I've used browser integration with some of the downloaders but they seem to work better as a standalone app. Pretty simple. Just copy the URL to your clipboard and launch the app.
