Tindersticks -- The Waiting Room

My great-grandfather was an Alderman and family legend says he refused a turn as Lord Mayor because -- being an Anglicized Scot -- he was too cheap to pay his own expenses.

Many good things. Both the food and wines in Spain are amazing, and cheap.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Speaking of chronos. Very tempted. The rose/grey/rose shouldn't really work but oof ...

Happy Birthday Doug!

(Mostly) gone but indeed not forgotten!

Not entirely sure about this phrasing. The "cleanse" portion was definitely the worst part of the whole experience. Good luck Todd!

Burger Lobster That's all they do, but damn they do it well.

Future Islands -- Singles

Is this the end of VAG Case?

RIP Andy Grove.

Did it add warmth to the meowdrange?

I'm sure there is a logical roadmap for the future. But you have to admit the present lineup is direly confusing. And I'm not sure how they are going to wiggle out of now having two current-generation devices of different sizes with exactly the same name. In the other product lines (i.e. phones) there's always a suffix to denote size or feature differences. But you can't really back into that if you initially made the larger and more powerful configuration the basis for the category -- "iPad Pro Minus" probably not a huge seller.

That was remarkably perfunctory. But in for a couple of 128GB (smaller) iPad Pros as the kids have pretty much beaten their Airs to death. What a fucking dog's breakfast the naming conventions across the range are now. iPad mini 2, iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro, iPad Pro.

Set up an SQ5 test drive, Chris? You'd enjoy booting that occasionally too.
