The only possible way the 1.5MM is correct if this is a full acquisition is if they took on some massive amount of debt, too.

Yeah, or "say hello to your brand new SR-60!"

There's no way it could be only $1.5MM.

"Thought leader" is one of the most despicable corporate-speak terms. That someone can use it about themselves seriously (and I've often heard it used as such) is one of the reasons this country's economy is in the fucking toilet and will be for a long time.

The HF-2 is on its way back to me from Grado. When I asked, via email, I was told "believe the transducers were replaced." I wonder what exactly that means.

Hot damn! That thing looks sweet! Congrat, Al, and beautiful work, Kerry.

Me too! My bank seems to be trying to drive me away. EDIT: How long does it usually take for an appraisal to come in? Now THAT is nerve wracking.

By the way, I like the Whistle Pig rye that I just got (present from Pop), though I suppose that's kind of like a mouse saying it likes cheese.

lol, I had the exact same experience. They are really papering these things up now.

Appraiser came today. Wife not optimistic. Neither am I after looking at some comps, though there aren't that many to work off of. It is what it is, I guess.

I thought those toys were for me.

Well, now, I like that interface much better. Is this resolution improved? (Sorry guys, I don't know shit about photography.)

I hate Flickr.

Here's a snap from the lobby of my office with the S95. Leaving aside the composition, is the IQ ok? Untitled by Head-Fi Monkey, on Flickr

right on, Shelly and crew.

Al gives good advice. I drank it.

Spent the day telling my business people why they shouldn't do stupid things while also assembling the fucking library of materials the bank requested for the refi. Which also led to the inevitable arguing with the bank. I won that battle but will surely lose the war. Pounding headache now and no happy pills with which to combat it.

Happy Birthday!

Right now there's a Canon EOS XS w/ 18-55 for $399 (New). That seems like a pretty good price after a quick search.

Want.

Good point. I think a lot of us can say that.

Happy Birthday!
