another 12er of 5-hour energy.

woke up, still sick (something sinusy), studied accounting, went to store, bought oranges and romaine and roses, presented to GF, who isn't a rose kind of girl, but I figured every once in a while what girl doesn't like roses on Valentines? (her other present was some PortaPros for her Zune) friend came over, helped him with his accounting homework, the three of us watched this gnarly Bernie Worrell documentary, watched cartoons on fox.

awesome CD, actually made me start a Boards of Canada Pandora station that day. a bunch of great stuff came up.

Mike, how was Furthur? is Bobby keeping it together? I caught Drive-By Truckers two weeks ago in Mobile, last weekend it was Umphreys McGee, sold out show at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. great energy, great music, worst fans I've ever encountered. no respect, totally selfish. I've seen jackasses at other shows but nothing like the douchebaggery I witnessed at Umphreys. Trey band in two weeks!

do they have pinch and zoom capability in the web browser? thats all I need.

Boards of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country EP

so glad to see multitouch has made it to a non-iphone.

happy birthday man!

love that one. 23 Skidoo - Urban Gamelan man this is awesome. its wonderful when I try out a new record and it just fits right where I am.

Public Image Ltd - Second Edition

Ween - The Pod

great game. awesome it was on CBS so i could flip back to the simpsons, family guy, and cleveland show. i hope new orleans doesn't burn to the ground tonight, i was really looking forward to jazzfest.

again, the 80 only outputs PCM over analog, the 83 does DSD over analog. this is the biggest difference for audio types.

hippie!

yet another generally beloved sci-fi classic I didn't care for. a little bit too "lets all have sex and everything will be fine" for me.

I have yet to finish Snow Crash, to cyberpunky for me. As I've pontificated on before, I don't like VR in my sci-fi, and for that matter I despise lengthy descriptions of dreams in any literature. Having said that I am a huge Neal Stephenson fan. Diamond Age is superb, as is Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle, and his newest, Anathem. So I guess what I'm saying is don't be afraid to skip Snow Crash if you get bored with it. Another beloved author/series I dislike is Stephen Donaldson's Covenant stuff. Sorry Dusty, I'm all for an anti-hero but Covenant is a little bitch, and Donaldson's world-building is dull. Neil Gaiman's American Gods is a classic piece of spec fic, as is Neverwhere. Anansi Boys is great fun for fans of American Gods, but not quite on the same level. Let me go ahead and recommend my favorite spec fic author, Jeff Vandermeer. City of Saints and Madmen is a weird series of interconnected short stories, histories, and interviews. Required reading before picking up his masterpiece, Shriek. A beautiful and horrific world he has created here. Speaking of beautiful and horrific: China Mieville. Perdido Street Station and The Scar are required reading for those interested in the subgenre of authors referred to as "New Weird". When you want to check out the roots of these authors, pickup M. John Harrisons Viriconium. Its weird.

so will my 3D glasses work with Avatar on this thing or what?

in the words of Sick Boy from Trainspotting:"beautifully fucking illustrated."

I think it looks cool as hell. I am shocked they hit the $499 pricepoint.

true, I have never listened to the variable outs of the CDP-2.

yeah I definitely want some 12L actives for the computer rig before it's over with. still not sure why I sold the ones I had. I want to pair them with a, you guessed it, CDP-2. it's the perfect digital source for me in terms of sound, features, and budget. where else can you get a cd transport, multiple digital inputs, a 24/96 DAC, fixed or variable outputs, and a remote for less then $500 used?

sweeeeeeeet!
