Dusty Chalk

Turned in my acceptance letter. Ran into a problem -- couldn't get my Epson scanner working on linux. Which is bad, because one of the reasons he hired me was to administrate linux boxes. Oh well, I'll figure it out.

It's like surround sound, only...surroundier.

Any idea who the artist is? And yes, that was an amazing pole dance routine. I wish I was her. (Mostly for the muscle tone. Starts thinking about getting a pole...then thinks better of it. Then apologizes for making people have that mental image.) Sorry.

Wait, what? I missed that part. That just makes it better. My only concern is all that white pasty skin that hasn't seen the light of day might spontaneously combust. (Specifically, I am thinking of Cristina Scabbia.)

QFT. Eloquently said, Dan.

Yeezh, Jacob. Just yeezh.

Yeah, I knew you'd get it, but then spritzer went and was like "yeah, I been thinking about that"...which of course meant the concept had some serious merit behind it, even if it was an "out there" concept (Jude -- take note -- that is an "out there" concept; iPodPJ's was beyond "out there"). Actually, the concept of Isobaric would require two bass drivers, so at least 3 drivers, total. link

You want something really different, read this. (It gets a bit porny in parts, obviously.)

I was actually thinking of Isobaric (it's a concept -- I learned of it from Wilson Benesch, but that by no means they own the patent on it, it's just that -- of the speakers on my personal radar -- they are the only ones I am aware of) bass drivers in a 2-way system. Also, was just causing trouble, can't imagine how that would hold up in a headphone (I.E. the weight issue), unless you went IEM.

Someone needs to emulate Wilson Benesch's isobaric speakers in headphones. You know, for TEH BASS.

Yeezh. Of course you were just about at the halfway point, of course you were. Me: filled out a bunch of paperwork. Giggidy giggidy. Yes, I'm excited about paperwork. Not because paperwork excites me, but because of what it PORTENDS.

That sounds \m/ AWESOME \m/. Also, there's now a steampunk cruise.

I do not, and I will.

(makes a 'Kessel Run' reference)

Lots of Joss Stone. She got soul.

Damnit! Outbid...

(nods, strokes chin)

Outstanding work, Tyll. My chapeau, had I had one, would be off to you. For those who stopped reading, Jude posted later in the thread. I initially got angry, because he was criticizing "personal" attacks, while not saying anything else on the topic, but then he made that "out there" comment, and realized that he was just understatingly reinforcing the "nucking futz" comment. Either that or he is high. "think he realized" -- Jude really doesn't read his own board enough if ( a ) he honestly thinks this, or ( b ) he honestly feels that saying that will have anything other than a reinforcing effect on his (iPodPJ's) completely delusionally egocentric perspective of the world. Okay, okay, but in all seriousness -- wouldn't a slight microscopic delay (one cm (?) / speed of sound ~= 0.03 ms?) take care of combing effect? Or would the diffusing nature of the external shell of the internal headphone cause the effects to be more chaotic? Also, what would the effect be if one were to wear an outer headphone in the form of a passive radiator? (Realizing that one doesn't exist of headphone size.)

I'll presume that was a rhetorical question. Snarky answer #2: Off screen? The two cuts @ 2:04-2:11 were particularly hilarious.

I took a piss test today. I passed. I do, indeed, still know how to piss, and if they graded on content, would probably have gotten 500%.

Hope you feel better, Jacob. And once more, with feeling: thanks guys! Don't I know it, Jeff. I honestly thought it was going to take a lot longer. Do tell longer term impressions, that might be my next phone.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "Great Retardation!"
