Happy Birthday!

Maybe you need to increase the dosage?

Just don't bump the pot while listening!

Good job Mike! Clearly cigars and whisky are the pathway to superior athletic performance.

He's just about peace, not money. If only there was some kind of prize for that.

Way to harsh the mellow, dude.

Didn't have any skin in the game. Will console self with improved odds of getting my skin in her, as it were.

FTFY

Speaking of options, the wife finally got the IPO monkey off her back today when they went to market at last. Originally filed to sell $330M at $16 to $18 and ended up with an order book well over $1B at $17.50. Closed at $19.50 after first day's trading. Back slaps and commemorative tombstones all round! Hoping to see her slightly less occasionally until the next one ramps up.

They're not melting, they're diluting.

Snap!

Counting Crows -- This Desert Life Guilty pleasure. Wish it wasn't so horribly recorded.

I noticed that too. That (woefully-named) hiFace thing K3cT pointed out actually looks like it might be interesting, though. They've written the custom drivers necessary to get 24/192 sample rates (including on Atom-based platforms) and seem to have thought seriously about the (potential) jitter issue. Although, of course, I don't actually have the technical competence to tell if their claims are gibberish or not.

Arcade Fire -- Funeral

Wicked-looking amp, too. Any details about that?

The xx -- XX Despite all the self-conscious x-ing, it's good.

All glory to the HypnoToadCat!
