What are you listening to Part the Third
Crack the Sky, Ostrich -- love these guys, rather uncategorizable, because they drift back and forth between funk, jam band, prog, and indie/alternative.

You'll have to save 42 for another night then. Except is that more like suffrage? No, that's not the right word for it neither.

What are you reading now?
I am totally digging it -- found it in my Kindle queue, but can't remember why I'm reading it. I thought you recommended it. Or maybe it was Neil Gaiman. I forget...

What are you reading now?
Me: somehow managed to start three books -- the aforementioned John Dies at the End (large paperback, does not travel well), Hide Me Among the Graves (via Kindle app on mah phoneblet, can read it anywhere and have it with me), and started the next Dresden Files novel, whose name escapes me.

It's not a "tablet" if it's 20 inches, is it? "-let" is to make the word diminutive, so should this be a "table"? Alright, no, tablet comes from "slab of stone", so maybe it should be called a "slab". "Slate"? What's a good augmentative? Superblet. Megablet. Maxiblet. Whatevs. 4K? Want.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! What is it with the exclamation points? Also: various artists, Where Stalks the Sandman -- a collection of damnbient stuff, including one from Steven Wilson that sounds like one of Fripp's Frippertronics pieces (basically, loops with stuff, arguably "with stuff")

Is that like a prep course? You'll do fine.

Cyberstalking Stretch -- Dutch Uncles -- delightfully demented -- it's part indie hipster Pitchfork stuff, part King Crimson/Yes (the same part that RHCP paid homage to in "Show Me Your Soul"), part New Wave/Cars-y sound. Me totally fucking digs.

Well, I'm now ahead of you by one episode, and I can see why you could put them off. Also, she's in Lone Ranger. Small part, but still...I'll take what I can get.

I actually have the black album ( as well as all of the first four L.S.G. albums proper...I think...kinda hard to tell with how organized I'm not ). (bookmarks Oliver Lieb's bandcamp page) Also, did you mean to post this under Android? I can move them...

Unholy carp, "...exactly none..." -- that deserves some kind of hipster award.

Vodka: can you taste any differences?
And where does everyone rank Crystal Head vodka? Yes, I know that's the basis of the infamous red vodka, but I can't help but remember Dan Aykroyd's description, which sounds like they went through a lot of trouble trying to get it right, so I'd appreciate some serious answers. I still haven't tried it yet, myself.

QFT I may be a bit manic right now, but you all rawk. I may regret the beer in the morning, but I will not regret my friends.

Luther "And the next words from your mouth will determine the weight and velocity of the staggering tonnage of shit that's about onto plummet on your head." Great line. Probably because I like the mix of hyperbolic metaphor and hard science.
-
And now what did you do TODAY?
Yeah, we did. We condensed a lifetime's worth of love in our little time together. It is entirely for selfish reasons that I didn't want it to end. And thank you all again, for your outpouring of love and support. I don't know how else to say this, but it really does help.

Did anyone else think, "DisplayPort connector"?

And now what did you do TODAY?
Congrats...can I ask what the product is? We're working with WebLogic here, and I hate it, but I haven't totally given up on Oracle yet. Just being nosy.

Vodka: can you taste any differences?
Not only can I tell the difference, I could probably tell you which region and soil the potatoes were grown in. Alrignt, no, I have no idea, haven't had vodka in a very long time, but I'm Russian, so I think I can. I suspect the way I drink it (ice cold) reduces the differences. I think I'd be better at it if they were warmed up somewhere between ice cold and room temperature.

And now what did you do TODAY?
Technically, she was only loved for 19. The story goes like this (this is me cherishing her memory and sharing it with you all): in 1994, my sister was sitting with a male friend of hers in her Baltimore apartment, when her male friend asked her if she had a cat, because he had just seen one on the balcony (second story). When she took her to the vet, they estimated her age at one year. Later, when it was discovered she was a runt, they decided she was probably older, but they stuck with one year. I call her 20 years old, but we'll never know for sure. I knew her for the entire time that my sister owned them, and some of my favourite memories of her are from that period from about 1997 on, when my sister started traveling. My mom kept her cats, and I would come over to visit them. My mom hated them, so kept them closed off in one room to minimize damage. One time, I went down to visit them, and Luvbug was at the far end of the room, and when I opened the door, she came running and leapt into my arms. I'm pretty sure it was at that moment that I fell in love. I've taken care of my sister's cats multiple times, and remember being woken by her having the "midnight nutties". I would hear her leap onto the dresser, then leap down, then run as fast as she could to the far side of the apartment, turn around, and run back as fast as she could. In 2007, I ended up taking care of them while my sister was trying to get back into the country for several months. I started keeping her in my room. My sister and I both sort of mentioned the idea of me keeping her at the same time, me just because I loved her so much, and my sister because she was worried that the cat would be getting too old to travel. I of course immediately leapt at the opportunity. She was already 13 or 14 at that point. She's been my companion ever since, and I've been her senior care. Thanks for the offer, Jeff, but I never left Woodbridge today. And yeah, Nate, I hate being obvious, but that was directed mostly at you and Shelly, so thank you specifically for your understanding.

CES 2013 Announcements
It's not 'translucent'. I don't know what's wrong with their (TechRadar, not Samsung) eyes, it's obvious even to me that the horizon on the inner screen is not a beach horizon, but the one outside the screen is. I mean, it might be translucent, but I don't get that from the pic.
