Yeah, somehow I still have a hard-on for that copper one. I can't imagine wood would dissipate heat as well. I'd be curious what it looked like after a couple years.

If that's the case, there was a small discussion that Ed, Peter, and I had regarding Chrome being such a memory hog, and there's a plugin you can install that disables tabs that aren't active. Don't remember the name of the utility, perhaps ask Ed (edwood) and/or Peter (iron_dreamer). The discussion was on Facebook, and I'm vehemently Facebook-tarded regarding searching older threads. Once you do that, you'll definitely be fine with just about anything, if all you do is browse and email and whatnot. Also, a trick I do before I learned of the utility (or rather, still do, because I haven't installed the utility yet) is copy my profile (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) to another directory (backup disk) (while Chrome is down), and then I can close all the tabs. If I want to come back to them later, I just swap this backup back in (it's all guitar porn and funny pictures and pics of cats and the occasional sexy picture of Oh Land and Kylie, anyway). And that way I don't lose any of my logged in sessions anywhere.

Leprous, The Congregation -- metal with keyboards and clean vocals, I am in heaven. And some pretty spiffy modern production.

Not too many laptops have two drive bays, unless you mean mSATA for the SSD. As an alternative, you can always put in a hybrid drive, which is basically both in one.

You've never seen the Wheatfield HA-2, then? Of course it only has one truly massive tube, one large, and one "normal" sized.

(whimper) Curly maple looks so hawt on an amp.

Lollers, doesn't even fit on the plate.

Currently: Gentle Storm -- instrumental disks, both gentle and stormy -- didn't work in the car, because all they did is remaster it without the vocals, so the dynamics are all over the place -- a lot of times, when Anneke sings, they drop the rest of the music way down, because...well, it's Anneke, innit? Probably about to go on a Jellyfish binge EDIT : And by Jellyfish, I meant Iamthemorning WAT.

Cool, now you can do calligraphy.

If I were watching it, I probably would.

That a capella version of Because... Oh, and Blue >> Red.

I'm not saying I shouldn't have known, that it was some big secret, I'm just saying I didn't know. And now I do. I think it's more the non-frontman role that surprises me -- even when he was in Tin Machine, trying to be supportive of the other members of the ensemble, he was still the lead singer. I think (with the Iggy concert story) now knowing why (combined with knowing how important Iggy was to him) helps me to understanding that now.

I've seen it, and I knew that, what I didn't know that among Bowie's many other talents, he played keyboards. Seems entirely ... backseat of him, which ^ actually makes makes sense.

They do some great bass. Check out "Nerds on Mushrooms" -- one of my online friend's current favourite test track. Oh, and me: lots of Indochine on Tidal. Because I like the French, when they pop.

Hard Times vegetarian chili

Nice! ...but...(squints)...Bowie on keyboards?

My Brightest Diamond, "Say What" -- totally addictive little number (free to stream on bandcamp)

I don't think he thinks he is -- he's just very particular. Previously, he didn't like eMpTyV using "This Note's for You" anti-commericalism video ironically, then he didn't like his antiestablishmentarianism anthems used as political propaganda. Now this. So he's always kind of been like this.

Mr. Robot Jacob, you definitely need to watch at least the first episode.

I like spiders, but ... yeah, spiderwebs bad, I don't think even fire is sufficient.
