I've got holds on the e-books for both at the library, just waiting for the people who have them to turn them back in. Being able to use my library membership to check out e-books from home and download them to my kindle is pretty damn sweet.

Worst meltdown since Chernobyl. Congrats, Cubs fans.

The first book was much better written than I expected. The attention to detail was staggering. I just never really got sucked in to it.

Master & Commander It is very good and quite entertaining. I can see why people love this series, but it is a little to much for me. I'm just not quite interested enough in the subject matter to want to continue into the other books. If you sail or have a love of sailing though, I'd consider this a must-read. 4/5.

Astro, please stop now and save yourself the embarrassment.

Episode 2 is stream-able on HBOGo already. Wow. This show already has me hooked.

Speaking of Oculus, Michael Abrash's presentation at the end of the Oculus Connect keynote yesterday was very, very cool. His talk was about what VR will look like in 5 years. There is amazing stuff in the pipeline. Link to the VOD below: https://www.twitch.tv/oculus/v/93337462?t=01h28m25s If you are at all interested in VR and where it is going this is must-watch stuff. Abrash is also a very good public speaker.

I tried 1 last night and the patch seems to have basically fixed the issues most had been having. It was very playable.

I tried to listen to it last night. With Black Francis' voice long since gone and no Kim Deal I can't say I liked it that much. Listened to half of it and then switched to Bossanova. Much better!

Stereophile review of Utopia. They got it pretty much right as far as I am concerned. The Utopias are a bit of a devining rod. A lukewarm or negative review of them tells me more about the reviewer than anything. I still feel guilty about buying another expensive headphone, but boy do they ever sound fantastic. Apologies for potato-quality screenshots from my phone.

^ is it any good?

Great first episode! I'm excited to see where they go with it.

Congrats to you both!

My favorite album of theirs. I've probably heard it 50 times by now and it never gets old.

Just got this and it seems pretty legit. HC racing crew, I think this is our next game. It doesn't run perfect on PC yet, but it was more than playable for the hour or two I tried it. Wheel support is a nice plus. It also has cross-platform compatibility with the XBox One version in case anyone would rather play on console. Oh, and first thing you need to do when you launch the game is to switch the steering to "sim."

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Mr. Claus!

Congrats!

The Choice: 2016 on Frontline. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/the-choice-2016/ Fascinating and balanced 2-hour bio on the two candidates. Frontline certainly doesn't pull their punches on either. I learned a lot about both Hillary and Donald that I didn't know before. Very highly recommended!

Just got to the airport for a 5 day trip to NY and realized I left my phone at home. Too late now. This is going to be fun. It'll be like going back in time to the 90s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just put a deposit down on one of the aforementioned "announcements."

Just chipped in for the two of you. Go get 'em, Lawson boys!

Yeah sure, why not. In for a lossless sub.
