Nice Pete! Again, I wish I wish I'd bought that 3-channel Stratos.

Ahoy, someone.

Because of the watermelon. Duh.

Jackson Browne -- Running On Empty

My bad. Lazy. Grawk, please change it to a picture of a basket of dicks before they do. Ta very much.

Audio-gd has a new PCM1704-based DAC on the way. The technical stuff is beyond me, as always, but it looks like it means business inna no-frills stylee.

Jethro Tull -- Crest Of A Knave

I am not a finance person, but do know that many EU countries have double-taxation treaties with the US. These specify that income earned by US citizens in those countries (and vice versa) will be taxed only once, in the country where it was earned. You will have to check to see if there is a treaty that covers the locale where you were working and then determine what your reporting obligations are to the IRS.

Peter Gabriel -- Security The percussion on this album is just terrific.

Not so here. Coming in through the window frames in both kids' rooms and starting to well up into the basement. Freeze again, damn it!

I'm going to go with "Even More Wall Warts" for $5 please, Alex.

Wow, that sucked. We have wicked ice dams on the front of the house, too. Could be hearing drip, drip, drip soon.

FIFY

So's my wife. What I really hate is what we just got, a good couple inches of snow followed by a few hours of drizzle. Mixes everything into the consistency of wet concrete -- impossible to snowblow, backbreaking to shovel, but you have to get to it before it can freeze solid overnight. I think I'm going to have a few shots of bourbon before slouching out there to get started. Buggrit.

Don't laugh, it's icing up quite nicely right here in New England right now!

Grawk already deployed a "rim shot" over in the other thread. I ain't clicking that.

Yeah, I didn't mean sold out to consumers, rather all spoken for already by their dealers. Definitely inelegantly phrased. The supply situation in the end market will of course depend on how large that first production run is expected to be.

Big Audio Dynamite -- The Globe

The Jesus Phones. Figure they won't ship from Headroom for at least two months and hopefully I'll have the money together by then.

Tyll said over on HF yesterday that Senn has already sold out their entire first year production run of the 800s. That little write-up won't help the supply situation!

Counting Crows -- August And Everything After

Depeche Mode -- Music For The Masses
