^^^ I also loved TBP and I loved the sequel, The Dark Forest, even more. Can't wait for the 3rd book!

I guess I am in the minority here because I absolutely LOVE the new Radiohead album. I have always preferred their mellower stuff and this is a whole album of juicy delicious mellowness. Can't stop listening to it.

^^^ I recently read This is Water and found it very inspiring as well. Me: Very interesting and well written.

I always thought it was the police code but the actual story is stranger: http://www.ibtimes.com/420-meaning-very-odd-beginnings-marijuanas-global-holiday-2356246

Yikes. No shovel? I miss the shovel.

A cool short story by Neil Gaiman from Trigger Warning: Return of the Thin White Duke http://www.neilgaiman.com/Cool_Stuff/Short_Stories/The_Return_of_the_Thin_White_Duke It's a quick read.

^ Happened in my town. I think they should put up a historical marker or something.

Happy Birthday! Thanks for making Slow Forum my favorite place on the internets.

Saw Muse last night at the Rose Garden, they were really great. Phantogram opened and they were good too.

Frank: classy move man, appreciate it, thank you!

Thus concludes Beat-Down week. Closest contest = 45 pts. Average margin of victory = 54.2 pts.

Not sure but I think it was the Jet's Defense that got 2 points added on for some reason. Not a big deal just curious.

Ahh, gotcha. Do you know what the adjustment was? Why the score changed?

My 1 point win is now a 1 point loss? Drew Brees INT = -2 Matt Ryan INT = -4 ?

I'm in.

I love it. Looks good, sounds great, needs to be small boulders or serious warpage to get it to skip (which is good since some of my vinyl is on the sketchy side). Disclaimer: I don't have a huge baseline for reference as this is my first turntable in about 35 years.

Got a Cannondale T2 Touring bike for my commute. Love it.

Consider Phlebas is my least favorite Culture novel. Try The Player of Games or Use of Weapons. Much better than Phlebas. Me: Very good sci-fi. Well written and fast paced with lots of good post-human & transhuman elements.

Got 1, thanks!
