I'm not against service and I agree it can be a good career step -- probably better than most PDs. BUT, there are a couple of quagmires where too many service people are dying for me to think joining the military is a healthy move. I'm not trying to debate the issue, but I did want to explain myself.

That is a drag, Colin, but I definitely hope you keep up the PD job search longer. I hate to sound unpatriotic, and in no way wish to denigrate those who serve, but I would hate to see you join the military as a fallback at this particular point in history. Hang in there and something will work out soon. Curious what Mexican restaurant it was. When my wife was in grad school at Cornell we went to a Mexican place that had the greatest Buffalo wings, oddly enough. Might have been Mexicali Rose or something, but she is not here to remember for me.

So far this morning: John Lennon -- Imagine McCoy Tyner -- Afro Blue

So watch the fuck out.

KAB Speed Strobe. Wow is this thing great! So easy to use and so damn definitive on the speed. Slight changes on the speed controller were immediately noticeable and when the speed locks in, it is perfect.

x3, but i really would get annoyed if he continued making HC his Twitter pages: Went to the loo. Had some steak and kidney pie. Did more things people do in the UK. Talked about myself doing things people do in the UK. Hello, friend. Do you like pickles? I like pickles. Ad nauseum.

Can't you get someone to replace you for one weekend at your "escort" service job.

Nice job on the review, Chris. I forgot how much I dislike doing them when I did the TTVJ FET-A review the other night. Anyway, as I mentioned on HF, I think a Phonitor / DA11 comparison might be very interesting. If I am understanding, then they do some similar things, but in very different ways. I have no idea if anybody attending CanJam has a Phonitor, but maybe you could capitalize on your contact with SPL and request that a unit be made available for CanJam. It could be shipped to JP or somebody involved in running the thing, or you could just get another unit in May and bring it with you! Cheers.

I'm with Duggeh. I like them both.

Not bad, if you like his style. It is better than his last one, and there are a couple songs that stood out as closer to the old Chris Isaak. Although not nearly as often as my wife, I saw him live many times and he can be great. He was getting to slick and sappy, but this album at least heads back in the right direction. Since then: Rasputina -- Radical Recital Rasputina -- Frustration Plantation

Rumble? Flat. Head-Fi? Filtered. Loudness? Compensated.

The way it stands now, I think the MOAR! team will head down on Friday morning and I hope people are willing to leave LA Monday morning. I had booked Thurs. night originally before the MOAR! plan coalesced (to the extent it has). I really think we need to have a specific count of everyone who intends to be in a vehicle headed south so that we can determine what size vehicle or vehicles will be needed. Icarium got a quote from one service, but it is pretty substantial cash so we need to determine if there is a need/justification for that kind of vehicle and expense.

The rate is guaranteed for Fri/Sat. The hotel is apparently being tight about the number of nights around Fri/Sat that it will offer at $89. That said, I was able to book Thurs. and Sun. and the guaranteed rate and if anybody has a problem with it they should let jp11801 know about it. He can prod the hotel to extend more "bumper" nights at that rate.

Have a great day filled with music, scotch, cigars, and whatever other trouble you can get yourself into Naaman! Cheers!

Not suck even moar, clearly.

Listening to my P-1 now. It doesn't suck.

Congrats on the job Ken! No help on the lappy, tho. Excited that I am getting a new Dell model -- in Dusty-approved all black, no less -- and I am hoping it can manage to play music without all the drops and stutters of my current one.

Damn, that is intense! Sorry your buddy is going through this, Mike, but you are a good friend as always.

Same here. I use it on PC with Firefox too.

Also nice! Glad to hear that Jeff.

Nice!
