  1. Good luck with the apartment hunt I ate a hot breakfast, dealt with some banking. Yesterday I spent a few hours trying to calibrate my power meter on my various bikes but I may have screwed it up and now I have to do it again but this weekend is looking like absolutely crap weather. yay.
  2. spent the evening alone because Google decided they had to do Meaghan's 2nd interview in person in California....
  3. Cool. I thought you were getting a pico slim
  4. Did he bring pictures of his starving children?
  5. sorry dude, that sucks big time
  6. I've hated this thread for months. Still not buying.
  7. To be honest I'm lucky it's that expensive if it was in the sub 5k range I think I may be having stupid stupid thoughts...
  8. There is always the second hand market
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwfkDZSLPt8&feature=player_embedded Devon Works I think it's pretty cool but not 15k cool
  10. sweet it's mac and pc Color me interested.
  11. congrats on the fellowship!
  12. man I miss having a machine shop to use. me: Misc bike shit for my wife's triathlon bike so it will be all setup for her first Olympic distance triathlon tomorrow.
  13. spent the day (and most of last night) modifying my thesis work to output pressures and velocities for waves. I'm stoked to be working on this stuff again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9897Y4bqyPg The new Intel compiler is awesome. Currently geeking out.
  14. You guyr discussion peaked my interest so I learned from here:Gilmer Wood Company Species Page apparently Wenge can be called "Pallissandre". That said I don't think we should be making shit from critically endangered trees:Wenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. That said African Pallisander apparently can also be known as Madagascar rosewood and is available here: http://www.hearnehardwoods.com/xcart/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=147
  15. Probably about the same. I would guess it's using the exact same circuit as the DEQ looking at the price point. This is a guess. I very much like my DEQ2496 and I'm never going to get rid of it. I can't hear the difference between it and my $2000+ Bel Canto DAC thought I know the BC tests better so I keep it around.
  16. Yup. Here's the story: Nation News - Home
  17. This is I am sure what happened in this case. I'd never heard the story but apparently a similar thing happend with my Dad a long time ago and he shot out a window (and doesn't own guns anymore). I am not looking for a gun thrash. Just on my mind.
  18. Be careful with the gun loading. Friend of the family just shot through his hand and killed his 11 year old while cleaning his gun. Bad times
  19. Congrats to both of you. I spend the morning in a 5 hour meeting discussing technical issues. That was great. I miss doing technical work. Well if my wife's interviews with Google keep going well then maybe I'll miss doing work entirely....
  20. Sweet we cyclists will slowly take over
  21. I think the fine would be more than getting the tree removed
  22. Got up at 5:30am and went out to help out at my clubs local bike race that I wasn't competing in. On my return home I went out in the back yard and took a careful look at our black walnut tree to find several large dead branches that will need to be taken down. Hopfully this is cheaper than the last $2000 pruning 2 years ago but I seriously doubt it. All the stuff is over neighbors yards so the dick in me wants to ask them to pay for it but that doesn't feel right. Looks like our $300/yr of ground injected tree fertilizer is worth shit. For all I know the they didn't even do the tree in the back as the one in the front is doing great and they sort of did the job guerrilla style and I wasn't there to supervise in the fall. Man I hope this tree doesn't die under our watch it will be a gigantically costly PITA to remove.
  23. A new bike helmet (Specialized S-Works)
  24. Glad to see you made it safely. Good luck and keep safe!
