'Grats JP!

The Jesus And Mary Chain -- Psychocandy

I used to equivocate for England, you know.

This isn't exactly going to shock anyone, but having lived with the O2 MK1 + KGSS combo for a month or so now, I'm going to venture to say it's not entirely unpleasant.

UPS truck just drove by my house. I said a little prayer for some sort of dispatch error, but it was not to be. My tracking info still says Guangzhou. Tomorrow is going to be hard. Really should have reserved at the Apple Store and gone and stood in line. Or made my wife do it like the Modern Family dude.

Hothouse Flowers -- People Good times. They should have been much bigger.

They're journalists. QED.

Monolith maketh monkey man.

Heh heh heh.

The sheep's need was greater than yours.

Welcome. Someday, and that day may never come, Birgir will ask you for a small favor...

Gents, hypothetically, were you buying today -- 13s or 16s?

Splash a little bourbon in there. I find that helps. With everything, really.

Yes, you do. The Boston office is getting increasingly backlogged because the recent cuts in MA health care benefits to legal aliens have given a lot of people sudden incentive to file for naturalization. It's turning into a long slog.

There's also an element of payback for Flash performance sucking so badly for so long on the Mac. Adobe would probably argue that's because Apple won't let them put hooks into the actual OS the way Microsoft does, but nanny nanny boo boo fuck plugins the end.

Everything But The Girl -- Acoustic

First Listen: Wadia 151 PowerDAC mini | AVguide Seems to make quite a lot of sense for desktop/second systems.

Apparently they're getting a maximum of 15 per store, with four of those earmarked for display only. So, no. Also: Apple - iPad-ready websites Dear Flash, Die die die. Steve Sent from my iPad

I know. The photo of Jobs is pretty wild, too.

Fine Young Cannibals -- The Raw & The Cooked

Don't make me choose.

I should have bought the wife one to take with her to South Africa on Sunday. She could have been the coolest person in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

Also, this is, I think, the best article/review so far from the advance team. Apple's iPad: The Mothership Prepares for Launch -- Printout -- TIME

Yeah, plus then you can go to the NYC Apple store tomorrow and just get trampled to death one!
