I love this song non-ironically.

Not a person, but today 2016 claimed a friend of mine for 9 years: https://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/5did4f/its_official_whatcd_is_dead_memorial_thread/ Yes, this affects Test Tone.

#1 Fan! Shiprock, New Mexico. Winchester Mountain, WA. Reine, Norway. Redfish Lake, Idaho. Romania. Sunrise at Vik Beach, Iceland. Boston Skyline @ sunset. New York at Night. Gramvousa Peninsula, Crete, Greece. Venus over lake Ellesmere, Canterbury. The Matterhorn in perfect weather - above Zermatt, Switzerland. San Francisco from Treasure Island. Lac Blanc, French Alps.

That trackpad is yuuuuuge.

RIP David Mancuso, the absolute grandaddy of DJing. I'm out of jokes about how much 2016 sucks.

Clerkenwell, London. "With head like that it's no wonder that Bill cheated" (I'll get my coat.) Leon Russell, 1970. Somewhere outside Perth, Australia. Delta IV Heavy. German V-2 missile fuel tanks on the assembly line in Tunnel "B" of the underground Mittelbau industrial complex near Nordhausen, Germany. Photograph by Walter Frentz. 1944. Autumn in Patagonia. I wonder how that turned out. Chamonix, France. Cape Schanck, Australia. Stockholm this week. Morans Falls, Lamington National Park, Queensland. Vermont. Waterfall in Oregon. Goblin Valley, Utah, USA. Church in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota. Milford Sound, New Zealand. The Last Launch Of Atlantis. Wire wool spinning in Portsmouth, UK. Sunset seen from Key Biscayne.

Kind of sums up the whole week, doesn't it?

Looks like I'm going to be ordering about half a dozen of these things, at $10 a pop. That's still far cheaper than buying a second thin MagSafe PSU. I have quite a stash of the (older, fatter) ones that I've been hoarding since 2008.

I was up until 3AM copying my data over to the new Macintop. I went to bed when, after installing and registering Traktor, it refused to see my entire 3500 track record bag. Tonight after, ahem, reading the instructions online (Native Instruments is a German company, after all) I'm more or less up speed. I still have to test a bunch of things before I go live (and it's already 7:30 as of this writing, FML.) It does look like this will be my first show from the new lappy.

2016: The year that sucked balls.

Lete's have a meme!

Thanks for the input. I'm going to be buying ...something this weekend. Being cut off from my FW HDDs is unacceptable. Currently thinking an AAPL brand adapter in the short term and wrestling with the TB Dock prospect later. Also, this Retina screen is ...something else.

So now that AAPL has officially abandoned Thunderbolt, I'm officially in the market for a TB hub. There are exactly two worth considering. The OWC for $220, an the Elgato for $200. The former has FW800 support, but its performance has ...mixed reviews. The latter lacks FW, but has slightly better scores. I need FW support. If I don't get the OWC, I'll be buying an Apple TB/FW adapter. Supposedly OWC have upgraded the firmware and made some other minor changes to their design to improve its performance. Any HCers have experience with TB docks? Any recommendations?

Let's have a (really sad) PhotoShopBattle: "What the hell is this! I SAID I want it to be at least 60 stories! How am I going to impress Putin with this crap!" "Bitch please, I said gold! Not yellow! " A small lawn of a million dollars. "I don't care that you're the groundskeeper, GET OFF MY LAWN!" This is fine. "There's yuge improvements to be made. Tremendous ones." The Whig Party. Subtle AF. "I bet the Chinese did this!"

I hate this editor so much.

I'm actually not sure who the last two are. Louis Clyde Stoumen - Self Portrait in the Mirror (1956) Isle of Skye, Scotland. Lake Minnewanka, AB, Canada. Na Pali Coast, Kauai, Hawaii by Howard Ignatius. Split rock at night, Mt Sproatt, Whistler, Canada. Maroon Bells, CO. Siilinjärvi, Eastern Finland. The 2016 National Geographic Photo of the Year, by Hasan Baglar. Milky Way and Stars over Nederland Colorado. Along the East River in NYC. Big Bend National Park, TX. 30 second exposure of Moulton Falls Bridge outside of Battleground, WA. Moon Shine- Nags Head, NC.

Keeping it classy. Chocolate Pounds now worth more than a real one... What could possibly go wrong? Three-minute long exposure photo of the Antares Cygnus OA-5 launch from Virginia to the ISS. Autumn at a 200 year old mill in France. Pololu, HI. Lakagigar, Iceland. The elevated monorail system in Wuppertal, Germany, 1913. One Minute Around the Bend at Rowena Crest, Oregon. Shipwreck Beach. Perseids and Airbus A320 over Signal Hill, NL. Star-gazing at Tybee Island. Winter in Estonia. Colorado Stream. Colorado Stars Near Boulder Falls.
