Oh well, I won't be shoveling snow for a couple of years anyway. Cape Town's climate is pretty much a carbon copy of San Francisco, albeit about 11F warmer on average. Lots of sunshine, lots of wind, lots of rain in the winter. Sure there's no shortage of crappy drivers, either.
Just did our driveway myself. Nothing encourages you to get out there and get it done now like knowing the rain is on the way to turn it all into wet cement.
Not that I'm telling you cosmopolitan headphone fanciers anything new, but the HP-1000s are pretty darn sweet. I'd only heard them before under meet conditions off of other people's rigs. Yay impulse buys!
I'm kind of a closet fan of "Dirty Jobs", so I really enjoyed these bits from the Reddit interview with Mike Rowe, because he comes off as a pretty cool guy, who sings opera.
