Happy birthday, Justin!

Caught up on episodes 5-8 of Twin Peaks. This show is fucking nuts! I honestly have no idea what anyone must think who isn't a huge fan/very familiar with the earlier show. They are moving fast (on a million different story threads) and not slowing down for anyone. The bands at the Bang Bang to end each episode is so sick and is probably my single favorite thing about the new season.

Chicago needs a rebuild of its front office. What a robbery. Levine and Dunn don't really project out to be starters, and for the two of them plus #7 they traded one of the best two-way wings in the game? Jeez. EDIT: Nice take on the trade (as usual) by Zach Lowe: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/presents-19712292/zach-lowe-jimmy-butler-trade-future-minnesota-timberwolves-chicago-bulls-nba

Agreed. It may be Waters' best album in 30 years, but that doesn't make it that great. I was disappointed.

Celebrated Father's Day with my parents in the blazing inferno. The car said 114 and may have been more accurate. I can see Stretch getting in a whole heap of trouble up here on a regular basis real soon.

Happy birthday, Kerry!

The plot thickens? https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/the-official-sony-mdr-z1r-flagship-headphone-thread-live-from-ifa-2016.818846/page-691#post-13547603

Heck, while you are at it, check out the new iPad Pro as well! I am soooooooo happy with it. Apple has just been killing it on the hardware front lately. Yeah, their prices are high, but damn do they deliver quality hardware.

My general advice to anyone is to get the base model unless you know you need/want better.

A little change on the new iPad that I appreciate: they've moved the logic board on the smaller iPad Pro from the right side of the device to the center. The area surrounding the logic board gets quite warm under load, so its really nice that its moved from where you'd place your hands to a spot on the iPad that you don't touch as often. Hard to know whether this was done on purpose or if its just a serindipitous coincidence, but it is a welcome change. Before (9.7" model): After (10.5" model):

Oh yes. Good lord, 120hz on a tablet feels do damn good. This thing is a monster.

Much respect to the Cavs. LBJ and Kyrie are absolutely insane.

Just a tiny snippet of the genius level mind-games going on in the finals.

Gotta hand it to Kobe. These videos he does are great. https://twitter.com/kobebryant/status/873333281311174660

Not the result I wanted, but that was fun as hell. God damn I love the NBA Playoffs. After that drama, I think there is a solid chance g5 is the most watched NBA game in over a decade.

Well.... that was a game. Kyrie is insane.

God I love the internet sometimes. https://streamable.com/h2c06

Well, since you are local if you want you can borrow my prior gen iPad Pro that I have listed for sale here for a day or two and see if it works for you?

Probably an easier conversation to have over the phone. PM me if you want my digits and we can chat.

Hats off to the Cavs. LBJ and Kyrie left everything out there on the floor and just didn't have the gas in he tank to get them over the finish line. KD!!!!!!!!!! Legacy defining shot for him

Bonovox and the boys are in fine form in the Joshua Tree Tour NYC concert on disc 2.

To quote Floyd Toole from his book "Sound Reproduction: Loudspeakers and Rooms": "Technical excellence turns out to be a high correlate of both perceived accuracy and emotional gratification, and most of us can recognize it when we hear it." Basically, all things being equal, gear that measures better sounds better. I'm a believer in this, and I very much enjoy the work done by Mr. Toole, Sean Olive, and the AES.
