Yama's is making a really determined move up the order on The Big List of Things That Fucking Suck.

Happy Birthday! Hope the exam went well.

No it wouldn't. They'd steal your telly, then set your car on fire.

Thanks for everything, Steve.

Go on ...

Yay. If there was a Stax Mafia, which there isn't, such a group would clearly have an interest in ensuring their "thing" be evaluated under the best possible conditions. Also, it would obviously be extremely unfortunate for all of headphonedom if Tyll's measurement suite totally accidentally blew up, burned down and sank into the swamp.

Happy Beerthday bud.

Happy Birthday Ian!

Holding thumbs for you Brent.

Have been (fitfully) on a lowish-carb diet, so beer has been OB for a bit. Dam broke today. Call me Hugh.

An interesting perspective. http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/08/googles_strategic_mistakes_dro.html

Already observed elsewhere, but licensing a platform and directly competing with your licensees at the same time is going to be a delicate dance.

Jorgensen's Gin.

The SR-009 ear cups are silvery, so of course they're more detailed and less warm than the copper-colored Mk1s. Duh. You guys need to hang out in more cable forums.

Camelthorn Helles. Brewed in Namibia by a dude named Jörg Finkeldey. Their American red ale is nasty, but the Helles and Weizen are good.

Will be buying more of this.

Tell her you're pretty sure Jr. won't remember that you missed the sono. Then duck.

Happy Birthday Tyll! Wishing you loud shirts, fast bikes and cold beers.

Found a new house to lease and am now very much looking forward to giving our current neurotic landlords the finger. Has a pool, which the kids will like, and a sweet man cave (wine cellar, bar, beer cooler, billiard table etc.), which I will like. Best of all, the study has a nice, heavy desk in the middle of the room, so it's perfect for a nearfield speaker rig.
