"Ginger Ninja" stood out for me amongst all the other inspirational message bracelets ...

It is apparently very accurate. I saw a post on a running forum this morning where a guy took his Apple Watch and Garmin + chest strap out for a 10K. The distance covered showed exactly the same on both devices and the average heart rate only differed by 1 beat per minute.

Happy Birthday!

Tough for me to choose between No More Shall We Part and The Boatman's Call. "Love Letter", "God Is in The House" and "Gates To The Garden" versus "Into My Arms", "People Ain't No Good" and "(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?". NMSWP is stronger overall but there's no bad answer.

Yo dawg, we heard you like charging your watch so we sent you a charger you can watch while you're watching out for a watch to charge with the charger.

Stretch the above!

All covers should come off this well.

Pappy thieves! Hanging's too good for them, amirite? https://www.yahoo.com/food/workers-busted-for-allegedly-stealing-barrels-of-117006802221.html : Mikey's ears prick up :

Yes. Just back up to iTunes, switch SIMs, connect new phone to iTunes and restore from the backup. Pretty painless.

Yeah I also liked the blue leather loop a lot, which was out of left field for me.

Duly noted.

I tried on the blue, two-register titanium Speedy Coaxial in the mall today. It's a winner and in your size sweet spot at 44 mm, Jeff.

PS: The engineering on the link bracelet makes everyone else from Patek on down look like a bunch of fucking mugs.

Went for my Apple Watch "appointment." Left sold on the stainless 42mm w/ a link bracelet and a black sport band. Also left with an iPhone 6 Plus that I had absolutely no intention of buying on the way in. See, that's how they get you!

Getting back to watches, I just watched the Hodinkee Lange video and now need to change my pants. http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/Inside-a-lange-and-sohne
