Anneke van Giersbergen and Aqua de Annique, In Your Room -- you want catchy, it doesn't get much more than this.

Shiny, shiny head. Peter Gabriel is awesome live, I see him every chance I get.

Yes, it's called abstinence.

Wait, what? Wood? I own wood. No, me, I do.[/headphile]

I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. I mean it's your fault in as much as you trusted the airlines and stuck your plug in their jack; but in your defense, unless there's some sort of crossover, even their headphones should not have been able to handle DC offset -- it would have fried theirs too.

That sucks, dude. Engineers correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like DC -- nothing to do with the adapter.

Nice, moar pics.

I would like to say now -- so that I can say I told you so later -- that I predict Apple will issue an update that will lock out using the camera kit for anything other than its intended use. And then we will hear a lot of groaning.

Apple -- I love apples.

I'm with GPH on Mastodon -- they did nothing for me. Sorry if that lowers GPH's cool quotient. I have somewhere down around #487 on my list of things to do before I die to give them another chance. Me: Listened to the entirety of Feed To Feed. Fuckgoddamnyeah. I cannot think of a better way to spend 3-4 hours. Oh, wait, yes I can. But it's up there. Also forgot: really dig Throes of Dawn. RIYL more recent Katatonia, more recent Amorphis, any Blue Oyster Cult.

I still say HP Firebird -- prices are down -- eCost refurb for $700 as an example. I mean, I'd have trouble putting together a (fanless) system for $700, but the technology is a little old at this point. Still very good (1333 FSB), just not current. EDIT: Oops, not sure about the HDMI part.

Every time I pop in the chat room, things are mysteriously silent.

About to start Red Cliff. Epic epic is epic.

I never wanted a motorcycle before, but now I do.

Online? Your best bet is G-Street Fabrics (near Montrose and 355). Go rifle through some of their odds-and-ends tables. Then you can feel them for yourself.

Hope you're feeling okay.

I saw that and passed on it -- on the one hand, it seems ginormous, but it's "only" 53mm (comparable to the Venom, but not as tall), but the thing I have absolutely no need for is three fucking movements with separate crowns. That said, if I win the lottery, then I'd get it anyway.

Oceansize, Feed to Feed -- fucking rocking my world. British (Manchester, to be specific), epic, somewhat proggy, but more space rock/post-alternative/post-rock, somewhat Britpoppy, lots of atmospherics, lots of rocking the big chords, totally dig.

Skeet rifle?

Tannoys are typically pretty sensitive...(wanders off, looks it up, comes back)...but 88db...meh...I'd go with the "Moar Is Betr" club.

On the bright side -- ownership! Congrats on that part, anyway.

I wouldn't count on Apple not locking out the capability until the officially supported it.

Dusty licks this!

I think the rule of thumb is, the more recently it's been released, the more likely it is to be high-def. And no, you don't need to do anything special to get high-def.
