Must...download...ASAP... I loved showing people that invisible dragon.

Did Zoe Keating open for her there? What kind of music was it (as compared to Dresden Dolls)?

apple care?

DT770 Koss Pro 4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFONZIEAAAAAAAAAAA (Haven't heard the Koss for myself, but can speak for the DT770 -- tanks.)

MF A3.2, definitely. Or spring the extra 750 or so and get the A308. Whichever one you get, though, make sure it comes with the remote. I wonder how much the A1 FBP goes for? Or you could look around for the last X-PRE (v8?).

I see a tripod -- maybe he/she just wants his/her picture taken.

Western Digital quietly intros WD TV HD Media Player - Engadget So...who's going to be the first to try this and tell me how the internal DAC is? I want the same thing except with a digital audio out (will also help with the multi-channel situation, like ripped DTS tracks), and component and/or S-video. Or should I go iPod/iTransport (Wadia)? Or should I go laptop/external DAC?

More like: "Called out".

Ooh, ooh, ooh -- let me know how you like them, I've been tempted by one of those Audio Technica clip-ons for my late night walks. PS I have a techno jacket. There's nothing technological about it, but I bet I could get into a discotheque with it.

But it's not about that...oh, alright, it's about that, but it's not just about that.

as a matter of fact, I do have another cable I can try. I'll try the other cable, then I'll try the restore, then it's off to the apple store I go. I bought it as a refurb from apple.com -- isn't there a warranty?

I love this show. It is following the books fairly closely, so if you're watching it expecting something akin to Buffy, or a vampire show, or an action show with a lot of sex and violence, then you'll be disappointed. It's pretty much about a hick town and the people in it, and I really like that about it. There's also a lot of little things about the show that I like, and I think I'm going to have to go back and watch Six Feet Under at least once. The episode where at the beginning they're playing some Tuvan throat singing, and it cuts off abruptly and the episode starts with them arguing, and somewhere in the middle of the argument she mentions crazy Chinese gargling, and he corrects her, and you realize that the soundtrack at the beginning of the show is what they were listening to in the car, and I just laughed. Because I get that kind of thing a lot, myself.

I have to unplug and reattach my iPod to the Mac several times before it registers in iTunes -- is this a common problem, is there a fix for it, or should I send it back for a replacement? I'm worried about killing the battery. The Mac is at 10.5.5, iTunes is at 8.0.1 (12), and iPod is at 1.1.2 Mac. (And no, I don't plug it and unplug it willy-nilly -- I give it a chance to register every time. One time it even caused iTunes to stop responding, and I had to reboot the computer.)

Yay, you finally got your amp!

That's actually a rather famous photochop.

Looks like Dr. Horrible left something in his pants pocket, again.

List of people on this forum who have received a Christmas gift from Dusty: ... ...or even a card: ... ...how about a thought? ... PS The atheist/Christmas comment was based on a news story I heard on the way in to work this morning about an ad that they're going to start putting on the local subway ("Metro"). I believe it's something like this.

(used car advertiser voice) "You want to talk about visceral impact? I've got your visceral impact right (smacks self in chest) here. And in case the 'big one' comes, it doubles as a defibrillator."

You crack me up.

I'm an atheist, anyway. PS Here was my original response to this thread, which, in hindsight, would have been more...uh...something:

Well, it's hard to listen to music if you're dead, being the reasoning here. Sound thinking.
