  1. An alternate soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi. Nice and relaxing while I reinstall windows on my PC.
  2. Green tea tastes like ass when made with fully boiled water. I use the scientific approach of boiling the water (on my stove) letting it sit for a few minutes to cool down, forgetting about it, coming back to find it's too cold, turning the burner back on and starting again. This is why I drink Earl Grey.
  3. Paid for the repairs to my My McIntosh MC-75 mono-anchor and one of my MC-22 preamps.
  4. Whoa. I made a thread an didn't even know it. These blackouts are getting serious. Why is there blood under my fingernails?
  5. *snicker* Remember Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard | The Onion - America's Finest News Source? This is a still from it:
  6. Got up pretty early for Sunday (10AM) mostly thanks to the ever-chipper contractor who called me ... to let me know that he received the message I sent him four days earlier. Decided to light the wood stove for the first time in two weeks. Had some wood inside, but went out and got two baskets anyway. Noticed that it was snowing. Dug out my film body and walked around in the snow and shot twelve frames on the roll of ISO 400 B&W film that's been languishing in the camera since the middle of December. 11 frames were done with my 17-40mm superwide zoom and one with my manual focus 135mm F/2.8 Orestor (which is older than I am.) I cleaned the snow off my car just as it was getting dark and went out and bought a replacement bulb for the wannabe lava lamp my friend knocked over when he was drunk. Fortunately, the bulb wasn't terribly exotic or expensive ($6 for two). Visited my friend Steve at work and shot the shit with him for a while. Fun fact: Steve's nickname is "Stax" -- after the record label, not the headphone company. Came home, called Ricardo to confirm that he'd be home around 11:00PM. Drove to NoHo, picked up my PC and helped Ricardo pick out a digital camera (Canon SD1100 IS Elph for $150-ish). Also gave Ricky a mastered copy of the Saturnine mix. Drove back home and concluded I'm too tired to set up the PC tonight. The Saturnine mix will have to wait until tomorrow.
  7. As has been said here repeatedly, most modern DACs worth their salt re-clock the signal, thus making jitter all but irrelevant.
  8. [said in a Bill Murray "Groundhog Day" voice] It's snowing here ...again. I might go out in a few and take some pictures, or I might stay right here next to the wood stove.
