Had my new RT-N66U router stolen off my front porch. Motherfuckers. Thanks for the bright shiny box with the smile, Amazon.

Damn! That's awesome. I am jealous! Congratulations!

Happy BirthDeh, Monkeh! Hope you get one hundred dacs.

Problem solved: Roku Stick. So I just stick it in the front.

Vudu, Netflix, Pandora...why no Amazon on the 103?

Totally unsceintific, AFAIK. Last time I put too much in any turntable, I rolled up a strip of paper towel and just soaked it up from the top. With a flashlight, there may be a maker inside that shows how much is enough. Just keep some blue masking tape around and keep the area around the well secured so you don't get oil everywhere. Earlier today I listened to the VPI Traveler and the Rega RP6. The Traveler was not warmed up, nor was the AR tube phono pre, so the whole thing was congested and confusing. Literally. I felt like I was on Crack or something. After a half a side I told the guy I'd make an appt and come back when things were warmed up more. The RP6 was warmed up, as was it's preamp, and was every bit as snappy as Brit hifi is supposed to be, but it definitely missed the tonality that the VPI nailed. Still, not even remotely a 1:1 comparison. The dealer, though, had sold 6 Travelers in the last week, which was pretty surprising.

Swing state, eh? Dancing or lifestyle?

One of my favorites. Good to see it is still online.

123 + 23 = 146 Met at a wedding reception, I was the DJ. Promised richer, poorer, sickness, health; Yeah, we've hit all of those

Go, Al! Stay lit, my brother. K-pop is good, but I turn into a little girl with Jpop. Melty pink happiness! Currently listening to John Kessler from KPLU in Seattle...the All Bues show. Consistently the best blues show on the FM dial. And yes, I'm drinking. After a weekend like that, I need to forget shit. Again.

Geez I love Japan. I thought she would chew up the frisbee for sure.

Cool. That's good news! We'll have to set up some time for welcome drinks while the weather continues to be outstanding. (In spite of all the bad press about Seattle weather, I'd like to point out that we've had .01 inch of rain in the last 63 days.)

work, work, work. Too much going on this time of year in the shipping world. But listening to the Pico dac/amp with the ATH-ESW9s now to drown out blabbermouth in the next cube. This is a really sweet combination! EDIT: Colin: are you staying around here? For long? You've certainly hit some fine weather.

That's insane.

Happy Birthday, Wayne. 50 aint nuthin (only because I'm right behind ya)!

So nobody was home when my Headamp dac/amp showed up. Mail carrier left a note in the mailbox that a package was now at the PO to pick up. And the sender: HeadLamp Audio! (I see the USPS is taking great pains to ensure the vision of their carriers is top notch.)

I like Dan's cold brew method. Gotta try that soon. As for my house, the favorite is Kona Peaberry from The Coffee Store on Maui. Pretty amazing. When we cheap-out and get something local in the Seattle area, we opt for Seattle's Best. I've gotten used to Starbucks and their strong roasting style but it's not my favorite. And I'm still pissed at Starbucks for buying a handful of small coffee stores a few years back, then promptly closing them.

Went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark in IMAX. I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in years. Amazingly good. The film stood up really well and the digital transfer only suffered in a few spots. Music sounded great, dialog perfect. If you're a fan, go see it before they pull it out of IMAX.
