Congrat to the Hawks and Rangers. I was at a lousy baseball game instead of watching but what the heck.

GUI has nothing to do with this comparison. Apple's rounded rectangle design patents for the hardware look like these (and dotted lines like some of the buttons, speaker slots and screens do not count/are not claimed as part of the design):

I don't like the idea of Apple going after more people on the design patents but claiming that is the "working concept" for their vaporware Geek Wave is epic stupidity.

Rangers end the second up 1 -- rooting for them right up until they face off with the Bruins in the next round.

The ponzi scheme continues. Apple should sue the crap out of them given the way that player looks.

But, but, but, Alexandra Daddario!

Agree 100% on the FOTM (flagship of the month) plan at Audeze. EDIT after seeing Rob's comment: What about the LCD-X or LCD-XC? I just looked at their site and they do price them lower so maybe it is meant to be some kind of lower level alternative. But the 1-2-3 releases all happened pretty damn close together. I think Ric was just cringing about the HD700 because it is awful. I haven't heard the HD700 and have no intentions of changing that status.

Does Rask realize he's not supposed to lay down on the ice all the time?! Fuck me

Fuck!

Oh, yeah, and Emelin is a pussy. Power play goal time!

It was looking like a possible blood bath at first but the Bruins woke up and spent some of the second half of the period in the Habs zone.

I was just wishing you were here!

I got the surly bartender to put the game on in the back room and grabbed a Pliny figuring it was universal. Habs scored within seconds. D'oh!

Fuck it. I'm going to Toronado right now to watch the Broons. Maybe they have something from NE on tap...

They won even though you watched?!

because . . .

If I were going to Sundance or Cannes, I wouldn't mind a Filson, but I just go to courts and clients and such.

I have lots of Red Oxx HC Travel Team gear for traveling but their briefcases are too rugged and unsophisticated looking for my business. Plus, those outside pockets are a joke for a briefcase:

Ouch. What nylon bag -- not interested in leather bags -- should I have gotten that would be worthy of theft and explosive deterrents?

Here's a pic of KG developing his B22. He sure has lost weight and done a lot of tanning since I saw him last.

Brent will eat anything called biscuits.

Empire Builder to replace my stolen Tumi briefcase. Needed to switch it up to break the bad karma. Oh, and I am going to have Jeff wire it with a self-destruct mechanism to fuck up anybody who takes takes this one.

I think Stretch's diet is at risk... Eggs and Breakfast Stout are excellent together but I like eggs in general. Today, I am going south of the border at Casa Mañana in Mayberry. Excellent fish tacos with lots of goodness on the side. No Sonic Youth blaring like the late night MOA run, but some great Latin pop and jazz tunes recorded in the 50s. My Chicano host points out it is the earliest recording of Spanglish he has ever found. I love this place

Ouch indeed! Ouch on the house price too, Ric. Happy hunting.
