For the wife's office, where she can't get away with speakers. This will hide under the monitor stand. As for the encomiums, we shall see.

Do you find their sound signatures reasonably similar?

Glad he's taking care of it. Hope you like them when it's all set up. I won't even mention the dreaded "b" word, but mine are sounding better and better to me as time goes on.

They just moved out of that weird old Back Bay townhouse into purpose-built new digs on Boylston St. This week was shakedown week, but it doesn't seem like they're going to have any problems. The new kitchen would make Thomas Keller wet himself.

That's a sight for sore eyes! I have all of one lonely bomber left over from the last batch of homebrew, so my own beer fridge is truly tragic to behold. On a happier note, the wife took me out to dinner at L'Espalier last night and I'd have to rank it as one of the better four hours of gorging of my life so far. The cheese service was fucking unbelievable. Today's menu, green tea and dry Wasa crackers, I think.

Grilled chicken and corn chowder.

Ohh-kay.

x2 My second favorite thing about Montreal, after the, um, Canadian Ballet.

I want to like oysters more.

Mmmmmmmooooooose!

And when we do, it's still their fault.

Oh, that sucks! You OK? My wife has been rear-ended (yeah, yeah) twice this year already -- both times she was stopped at a red light and both times the other driver was a young woman talking on a cell phone. So I feel your pain.

Brave man! Falling knives and all that.

Score!

Dew eet!

Prefer the Euro version.

Hi-fi for Harley riders.

What's going on there?

Shhh! I still can't connect to you. My guess is UPnP is off on your router? Anyway, I've had no buffering issues playing from other libraries. I'm uploading a backup to Mozy right now, so maybe that is causing bandwidth problems on my end. Did you try it out on your home Mac yet? My sense is the Windows version is still very rough.

Yes. But only on the device. Tethering is verboten.

Yeah, you need a tasty pastry after that. Bracing!

I'm afraid to ask what you're planning.

Think I'm going to keep my cash in my wallet for a bit given the recent uptick in catastrophic meltdownity. Plus I need to decorate the new house. Do you like it? And where's Aerius with the ha-ha?
