That reminds me of something. VBS.tv, an independent online news/documentary site, did a half hour expose on "donk" which is uh, hardstyle (hard house, but worse) meets chav rap. It is morbidly fascinating. Donk - Music World | VBS.TV

Wow. Did you have some trouble embedding the video, Stretch? I had some problems earlier when I tried to embed the BTTF3 clip. I ended up quoting the code from an earlier post and then pasting in the URL and code. I think this is a reap oast, but it amuses me.

...a giant leap forward in the world of circle cutting technology.

This man needs a smack.

This is fucking horrifying.

Sexy. I was considering one of those when I was in the market for a balanced Pre in late '08. I ended up going with an AR LS9 for a bunch of reasons (some rational, some financial, some AR-fanboy-based.)

Salty (and anyone else) I got these: 2-PACK Lexar Professional Firewire CompactFlash Reader - eBay (item 380224418443 end time Apr-23-10 19:48:04 PDT) They were $40 for two when I got 'em, they've come down in price.

If you get a rack shelf, you can mount almost anything in a 19" rack. The shelves are vastly overpriced (what, $80 for a bent piece of metal? I'll take three!) but they are invaluable if one is rack mounting a rig. I used three shelves to hold most of the kit in my system. Of course, I pilfered the shelves and the rack from an old broadcast video rig that was being thrown out. A few suggestions: Hardware 1 Space Utility Rack Shelf*-* Rack Shelves Middle Atlantic Products U317 | Sweetwater.com Mid Atlantic 1 Space Utility Rack Shelf*-* Rack Shelves Middle Atlantic RC2 Clamping Rack Shelf | BSWUSA.com Middle Atlantic SS Sliding Rack Shelf | BSWUSA.com Hardware 2 Space Sliding Rack Shelf*-* Rack Shelves There is a mind boggling amount of rack hardware on the market. Nearly every piece of serious pro (audio/video/radio/etc) kit has rack ear or some other type of adapter. I'm sure if you looked hard enough, you'd find an adapter for your cat box and kool-aid dispenser.

FWIW, I have upwards of five card readers. Two FW400 CF readers, two USB umpteen-in-one card readers, and one USB SD card reader (so I can read sodding SDHC cards.) I've purchased two others; one I gave to mum, and one I think my old housemate nicked when he moved out. When I get a new Mac desktop, I'll probably get an FW800 CF reader as well.

Switched gyms. After 9 months at Gold's Gym Leading Edge, with their sucktastic hours, I'm now a member of Planet Fitness, which is 24 hours except for weekends. This switch meant that I actually got a proper workout in for the first time in ages. It was refreshing to concentrate on, you know, actually working out and not watching the damn clock.
