Jacob -- remember, this is the guy who has a terrafarm behind the router. Crappy -- I know you're smart enough to know this, but just to be sure -- just because emails were sent from your accounts, doesn't mean that your accounts were actually compromised. In fact, a lot of times, someone who has you in their contacts is the one compromised, not you. What other evidence do you have that your emails -- or even your computers -- were the ones actually compromised? If you're sure, my primary response would be the guessing of passwords as has already been suggested.

Happy Birthday!

...?

I have to say, I have mixed feelings. If they're allowed to run like a wholly owned subsidiary, and they don't do anything evil, I'll probably continue to buy them. Why? Is it a caps thing? Is it red? Srsly, how is it? (The drunk glass, not the worn glass.)

Continued high hopes for Ollie!

You read that wrong -- he doesn't have the robots, he's looking for them. If he had to build them, that would be a bit redundant.

And duplicators! Er...I mean, replicators!

Holy shit, Todd, nice car! I really like the color.

My ex has me beat -- she was on vacation, and she read all four books in three days. I've started reading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. It's her tween-targeted series. So far, so good, but kind of predictable (I'm sure she'll fix that eventually). It answers the question, How do you make a short, stuttering, late-blooming teen charismatic? By getting insider her mind and showing how she thinks.

Congrats, Perfessor! So do we call you Prof. Morphsci from now on?

Excellent.

That's a pretty simple little 'cocktail'.

LOL at picture on the second shelf.

Preferred Automotive guy made good -- he's comping me the whole thing, so my appreciation for them definitely goes back up. I'll be back.

Big ups to Ollie -- hope he's alright. May 14th, which is a Saturday. I arrive Thursday evening @ 9:47pm, and leave on Tuesday @ 2:30. Yes, hooking up would be cool, I was going to say something. Hopefully I will be healthy and less of an ass than last time.

Nice. I am fond of Jolida, but would be hesitant to get the DAC based on that fondness. I say, take one for the team, and DEW ET.

Archer, "Phase Two" -- OMG, best episode yet. They had me at "Zima".

Finally finished this. Kind of silly. Though Chow Yun-Fat in a wheelchair -- wow. The chemistry between the two guys is pretty great, too.

Ah. Didn't think about that. Just like burn-in isn't always beneficial. Again, this place rocks. (takes a swig straight from the bottle)

Gascon Reserva malbec -- one glass thru the Nuance, one not -- if there's a difference, it's very subtle Oh and yes it's good. I like the purple and silver label, very regal. Sent from mah Droid

Got tickets to California. Hooray! I'm going to the concert!

2004 Ojai Roll Ranch syrah -- I don't think we decanted it long enough, it was still "hot", but I'm beginning to be able to taste something underneath all that alcohol burn, so maybe I can get used to it. I seem to think it was even better than the 2007 Ojai Santa Barbara syrah. Maybe I'll skip the Soiree and go straight to the individual decanters. Or maybe just hold onto the syrahses. shirazes. syrahs. Or maybe just stick with malbecses. Stuff I can drink straight from the bottle. Well not straight from the bottle, but ...you know what I mean. Why are we even arguing about this?

HDD technology is so...2000's. I was actually wishing I could trick out my older iPod with one of those solid state drives, but I was told that a lot of the iPod's actually check the drive and make sure it's something they have drivers for.

Yeah, me too. That's why I bought it the next day (and paid $5 more).

It was worth trying. I have a feeling it's that whole "letting it breathe" and "patience" thing again, because my biggest complaint with it is that it was that alcohol burn -- which, although I enjoy, is masking the flavors of the wine. Bought the Nuance -- didn't seem to make much of a difference. Still felt the burn/"hot". Going to try the Soirée, and possibly the individual decanters, but I really don't know how I'm going to get that to work. I don't really feel comfortable pouring myself a glass before work so that I can drink it after work. I might be able to get away with 2.5 hours on particular nights, but not with any regularity. Will probably stick with non-hot wines during the week, and only drink the ones that need decanting on the weekend. Or something.
