You don't think those gyrating morons evoked any homoerotic overtones? Talk about your overtones. That super soaker ad is really freakish. Matrix Dubya is teh awesum.

Bummer that the season is over, but Dexter finally grabbed me about half way through and I thought the last 5 or 6 episodes were *killer* (pun intended, duh).

Talking Heads -- Fear of Music Also

I'm sure it will be llama rocking, I just really liked the combo idea.

Talking Heads -- Remain in Light

Yes sir!

What happened to my slightly snarky response? It went something like this: "It sounds exactly like Weezer singing Christmas songs." Plus, I updated to current listening: Paul Weller -- Weller at the BBC (4-disc box set)

I am going to see Amanda Palmer and the Danger Ensemble plus Butchers and Builders. Zoe Keating was on the bill when I bought my ticket and frankly was half the reason for going, but the listing no longer contains her on the lineup. That will piss me off, but I guess I will go anyway for AP.

Christmas with Weezer

Got my discs from riceboy and can't decide whether to put them under the tree [we don't have yet]. I think I will wait. . .

dammit! The printer has an ethernet connection so further to the question above can I use that for wireless scanning?

Good to hear the Brother can last. We have our printer on an Airport Express so I skipped the wireless models. It works really well from desktop and laptops all over the house. Excellent solution. If my wife wanted a music setup down there, I do that as well, but she just uses those little round Apple speakers that came with an older iMac (with an adapter (iFire?) I bought years ago). One question for those in the know, is it possible to connect the AE to a printer with an ethernet input? The setup refers to USB printers and that is how I have always hooked them up, including this one. I was wondering if the ethernet would be faster or something.

Is Dexter finale tonight? Very excited to see it, although I have watched the rest of the season On Demand so I don't even know the normal night/time.

Well, I went with the Reksomendation. I got the same type of Brother laser all-in-one but without fax capability for $300 cheaper. The somewhat simpler model I bought is normally $500 but was $309 at Office Depot. Paid $50 for the extra 2 years of free replacement given that I saved $200 off normal price and $300 off what I went there to spend. Anyway, it works like a charm and we have a document feeder for copies for the first time at home. High volume toner cartridges mean replacing them seldom, so I am pretty psyched. Thanks for the input Reks, Pars and Slacker. Oh, and the Canon models within reason were all monochrome so I went with the Brother for Color.

Thank you for your interest. I have emailed you all my personal information including SSN, DOB, passwords, CC#s, etc. Please forward the payment and address information soon!

Thanks guys. That laser one is especially interesting because I am tired of ink cartridges and would like to get sick of toner cartridges.

I have to get one of these to replace the latest one to die on me. I want something good that will last a couple years at least. For home use, kids and all, and color is a must. Any laser options for all in one? Please give me some ideas. Thank you.

You're so artsy and shit. Stay home and stay warm Nate! A nice hot soldering iron in your hand might be just the right thing! [Mike paid me to say that. ]

Saw Pharoah solo in a cathedral last year. Godly was even more appropriate there!

I knew I underpriced my masterpiece! Sold! Paypal addy to follow...

This is taller than it looks, and balances in a very interesting way. Perfect for your novelty headphones. $30.

Nobody was saying that you shouldn't review mid-fi gear or that you are somehow not worthy because some of your gear might fall into that category, including JP#s who was wrongly assumed to be claiming mid-fi isn't worth consideration. The criticism as I read it was that you think so highly of the Nuforce amp with the Stax trafo box and JP and others feel that amp is lacking. He had one at one point, so he was stating his opinion that yours was suspect because you praise something so much that he thinks is not worth the praise. That's it. You don't have to apologize or change your style or whatever you are suggesting. You have to have a thicker skin and stick to your guns (no pun intended) if you want to hang around here, it's as simple as that.

OK, fine, it was a joke. If you don't like it here, why are you coming back?

OK, Larry, was the IQ part the joke or the whole thing with the chin and all that a pure joke? I wasn't even focused on the IQ part, which I took to be a lame joke, but the idea of training your brain to move the sound around is just ridiculous. Please correct me if I am mistaken in believing that you believe in what you wrote.
