ha, yes I do indeed have an obsessive personality. However, I am a collector of small press spec fic, and the above is a good deal. since it's obvious Powers is rapidly becoming one of my favorites, this was a no brainer. Actually I had just bought the Subpress of Last Call from Amazon for $55. I'll be returning it now.

Friends of DIY have invaded my thread!

I hate that 3G is $75/month. I'm quite happy with Edge and $64/month. :/

thanks guys, I already worked out a solution, with a little help from my friends, of course. Minimax is on it's way to me ad we speak.

thats what enticed me, and made me think of M. John Harrison, or Gene Wolfe. I love Gene Wolfe.

Really? I love Stephenson's characters, and find them totally believable. Moreso in the Baroque Cycle and Anathem, but I loved my Cryptonomicon folks as well. I admit I didn't have any fond attachments to the characters in The Diamond Age, though I loved the book. The only Gibson I've read was Pattern Recognition, and I have to be honest, it was a snoozer to me. Not just boring, but fucking boring. Definitely put me off the rest of his work. Love the cereal eating analysis. I've already addressed the character thing, but in regards to the pacing/storytelling criticism, I agree with Peter that the burden here is more on the reader. Though this will make me come off like the Stephenson fanboy I am, he's fracking brilliant, and if his brilliance pours out in a manner that isn't exactly Great Gatsby-readable, thats OK. It makes it a harder read, sure, but more rewarding. can you recommend me a Gibson book? This sounds cool and I'd like to give him a second chance. Any M. John Harrison/Viriconium fans here? Anyway, I'm continuing on with my building Tim Powers obsession with: The Anubis Gates, a present I received from a Mr. H. Stretch at Canjam. Absolutely loving it! Fantastical but still frighteningly real.

if the OS truly moves faster I'll pick one up in jan when my contract is up.

yes, i am. probably late summer/fall.

poncho.

so how does everyone feel about the new grado cable? I like the feel of it, soft and malleable. I'm not going to venture into any sonic impressions, but fit and finish wise I think it's an upgrade.

welcome wayne!

happy birthday!

ok, i don't keep up with this thread as much as I'd like to, so I'm sorry if this has been posted. it probably is like a really old meme but i'm slow to come to these things. hopefully its new and exciting to you! i cried and almost peed a little the first time I watched this.

I heard the pre production retaining pin is made of a much denser plastick, which greatly contributes to the pre production model's sonic superiority. blacker background, speedier transients, more silvery trace elements, cleaner debris vacuum, more well rounded Arclesian factors, and svelter midrange wounds.

my wd green has been fine. only a couple months ownership and very little writing though (filled it once and pretty much left it).

you mean "not impressed with whatever his raffle prize was-gd"

same goes for "fart in a bucket".

ladies and gents, its another head-case pile on at HF. loving it, although it makes me (delightfully) nervous.

i want to read there! link link link!

well put. I think its more fun to draw from mark's past behavior and blame his HD800 reaction on craziness, but I would bet he's just bullshitting to drive his business.

suddenly i'm dying to get a silver HD800 cable.

hey matt, welcome to head-case!
