Even a dusting can be a PITA. Just landed back in England and have been sitting on the taxiway for an hour now after a brief, apparently unexpected, flurry left every single departing aircraft at Gatwick with just enough visible snow on the wings to require deicing. We are number three in line for 777 stands as they do start to open up -- so I reckon it'll be a good while yet. Poop.

I died a little when I saw one on the new Pass Labs headphone amp

Objection your honour! Calls for speculation.

There's a sharp end? [emoji2] Agreed though, either upside the head.

Happy Birthday!

Dark blurple best blurple.

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday!

I approve of breakfast wine, needless to say ...

Speaking of WAT!? I enjoyed this gem which landed in my inbox today in regards to another ephemeral "upgrade" -- in this case a firmware revision for a popular DAC. Emphasis mine:

Happy Birthday! It's been too long!

Holy smokes. That would have driven me insane by now. Hand in there MA crew! Edit: MasNowsNowsNowsNowsNowsNowsetts.

Lloyd Cole -- Music In A Foreign Language

^^^ Logic, bitches!

Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of...

The Waterboys -- Modern Blues. It's a grower.

Toooo loooong. Same idea in a form factor that mostly just adds to the phone's thickness (a la JuicePack) would be a massive home run. Work with Jony, not against him!

That is hard core.

Andrew Bird -- Armchair Apocrypha I wanted more of this, not a fucking country album.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

RIP Joe. May your guitars always sound crunchy!

Er, and I'm listening to: Orange Juice -- Rip It Up.
