Speaker Porn
I admit it -- though primarily a headphone guy I enjoy drooling over pictures of beautiful speakers. For the artistry, for the engineering, for the lulz. I would enjoy seeing particularly striking examples you may happen to come across. These really struck me today. New Vienna Acoustics Klimt series. Concentric midrange/tweeter units adjustable for tilt and toe-in. Murata supertweeters. Eton spider-cone woofers. 22Hz - 100kHz. The black one makes me think of Barad-d

Three Weeks 'Till iPhone
Don't even know what my contract status is. Was one of the saddos queuing up on Day 1, so that two years is almost over. But probably re-upped when I took the 3G upgrade subsidy. Luckily AT&T's coverage is good where I live, so the only real incentive to switch carriers would be price. Verizon will probably cripple the shit out of their iPhone anyway, as is their modus operandi.

Three Weeks 'Till iPhone
What? I couldn't hear you. I assume the new phone will look the same, but with lots of under-the-hood improvements. Faster processor, more memory, better battery, more capable camera etc. Coupled with the 3.0 software release it should be a nice upgrade. I hope the rumors are true about AT&T cutting the price of their data plans.

Neko Audio D100 Impressions
Glad the product stands up, as Wes's ad strategy also seems quite novel. I've run across the Neko Audio banner on just about every audio site I've visited in the last month or so and it seems like he's betting heavily -- if not exclusively -- on forum participation and exposure to build his brand. It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

Kate Bush -- The Dreaming Still one of the finer albums to use real sheep for backing vocals, I would argue.
