I've spent most of this week being crippled by Martian Death Flu. My reward for working in the filthy city of Holyoke last weekend. Today I'm feeling somewhat better, and I'm going to attempt to do my show tonight. Of course, I just heard from the DJ before me, who's can't make it and hasn't found a replacement. Such is the nature of college radio.

I dunno if this got posted in here yet, one step further from vaporware. IDGAF about the analogue audio I/O, but the FW800, USB3, GBit ethernets, and second Thunderbolt port are exactly what the doctor ordered. The lack of eSATA doesn't bother me personally, but it might affect others. I really like the look of the Belkin unit, especially compared to the weaksauce Matrox DS1.

This will depress the hell out of you. In lighter news, H-C is a tease.

Lucky Luciano in Rome.

It is really sad what has become of the 'Egg. I remember, a dozen or so years ago, pricewatch.com was the place to shop for computer hardware. Then the 'Egg showed up and 'ricewatch became a thing of the past. I haven't had any experiences nearly as bad as the above, but these days I've been increasingly buying my computer hardware and the like from AMZN.

Sup, Heads? My radio show is actually on the air this week, in Case you wanted to listen.

Ted Nugent was a furry(!)

The soundtrack to this is awesome. Nice rack(s).

How about some vintage Yamaha porn? The FX-1 and its speakers (FM synthesis, ca. 1986) This is a very difficult synth to find info about, thanks to a pesky watercraft. The GX-1, a massive, polyphonic analogue synth from the mid 1970s. The rarest of them all, the EX-1. An "Electone" version of the GX-1. Diagram for the GX-1.

This is the first hour of the Giant Bomb panel at PAX East. Clocking in at over an hour, it's probably far longer than what the average HCer wants to sit through. I watched the entire thing last night and I'm pretty sure it's the funniest thing I've seen in 2013.

^ You leave my curtains out of this! It's almost like I forgot to delete that image after posting it.
