The Monkey

Piled the family into the car and drove to East Hampton. Vacation. Good.

Finished Treme. Solid.

They had champagne at the party god bless them.

Just played with the iPhone 4. Very nice. Looks great. Screen is outstanding. The one call I tried to make was horrible, so that part may continue to suck. I could not fully replicate the angry antenna, but i paid attention to how I hold the phone in my left hand while browsing. The antenna issue will be a pain in the ass for me. Other than that, well sorted.

Heh, that music will send you crazy, boo.

About to head to yet another 4-year old's birthday party. Easy to beat.

The Ayre stuff is sexy time.

Great suggestions here so far. I'll throw in: The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo Gram Parsons - GP/Grievous Angel Little Feat - Dixie Chicken The Amazing Rhythm Aces (early stuff) Bob Dylan - Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (soundtrack) Ry Cooder - The Long Riders (soundtrack)

I like the direction(s) this thread has taken. Would a taser do the trick on the raccoons? I've fought with them over the years. They are tough creatures. Not to be trifled with. My grandfather tried to beat one to death with a shillelagh--he was unsuccessful. The raccoon killed him. That last sentence isn't true. Also, perhaps we've finally found a use for this?

ugh, that's a big fail. Can you cut the case so that it can fit?

Now THAT^ sounds good.

Dealers are taking orders for the bridge now or in the very near future. The price will be $599 for people who bought and registered a PWD already. Not sure what happens if you buy a PWD between now and when the Bridge actually comes out. The normal price will be $799. I emailed Ron from Liquid HiFi and he get me the info right away.

Heh, that sounds ominous. How did you, um, remove them? Didn't that woodchuck end up in Haj's car's engine?

Posts on Macrumors seem to indicate otherwise.

I need to go to the Apple Store for something other than an iPhone--exchanging an iPad keyboard dock for the blue tooth keyboard. Will I be able to do so with minimal hassle or will I get lumped in with the iPhone crazies?

Flamethrower or nothing. I want to buy stuff today.

Todd, you rock.

I've been watching. Just have the last episode to go. I've loved it.

I think I'm done with Burn Notice.

Wow. Good luck!

Treme.

I seriously can't understand the people who wait in line for these things--reservation or not. Ha! Fucking Arrogant Apple. But that's probably the response I would have advised...

Ric, I have a Kindle in excellent condition if you're interested. I'll give you a good deal.

The Macrumors thread suggests a pretty widespread issue, although self-selection in posting about it could skew the #s.

Thanks. An email response from Jason said the same thing about the heat distribution. According to him, the Valhalla runs hot too, but the top gets hotter than the bottom.
