32 hours from Shenzhen to my door, including engraving.* (*Buns of steel or bust!)

I resent that. Can't say you're wrong, really, but ... you know ... suck it and so forth.

Just a random opinion, but my wife says that of all the (many) places she's lived she liked Charlottesville, VA the best.

Not entirely surprising if you do, in fact, pour piss on them!

I'll happily settle for all the built-in stuff working well.

Is there anything you don't know? This looks like good news, too.

Well, there was this dude on the 'Gon... You know how it goes.

Yeah, that's annoying. There must be a way to edit the metadata to collapse those to a single listing of your choice. Sure some bright spark will figure it out within 48 hours.

Really loving iTunes 8 grid view. Be interested to hear how well it deals with a really big library, though.

Yeah, I like this Nano a lot better than the last one. But I'm genetically biased to favor long and thin.

Throwing in the Nike+ functionality out of the box is nice if you run.

Also have volume control and a mike (!) on the cable. VOIP anyone?

New earbuds from Apple for the new iPods. Maybe a tad less sucky?

Hmm. She might go for those. Or maybe the B&O A8, which is kind of in between the two. Thanks.

Wife wants one of the new Nanos for the gym and doesn't like IEMs. As far as simple earbuds go then, it seems like the Yuins are pretty much the only game in town? PK2 or PK3?

Pad thai.

It's (particle) clobberin' time!

I say this shoe comes off next. I see they're still merrily offering 5% on CDs to get cash in the door while unloading the risk on you, me and our friend the FDIC.

We got some of that too. Dehumidifiers working overtime.

Get one of these, it's only $1,500. Oh wait, I left off one zero.

Magic looking speakers! And I love all the tube boxes scattered about. A tweaker lives here.

Ta Beefy. Looks like I can get a Squeezebox and a NAD325BEE for under my limit if I scrounge around, so I think I'm going to do that.
