Went to go look at an apartment to know what kind of options I have. This one is a new midrise (8 floors) and it is built better than some others around here (steel and concrete with 6" of concrete between each floor instead of the wood frame buildings) and it is in a good location. I would have to downsize a lot (~1250 square feet) from my current house. I like the layout of the apartment but don't like the lack kitchen storage. The appliances are all standard nothing fancy GE appliances but the refrigerator seems pretty good and it has a gas stove (which is a necessity for me). Also, the wood floors looked like real wood unlike some other places. The cabinets did seem like they were from Ikea though. I guess, even though my house is old and falling apart, I have gotten used to having real wood cabinets, being able to pick out my own appliances, having lots of room, etc. Also, I noticed that the dishwasher didn't have an air gap and (I couldn't see behind the dishwasher) I didn't see a high loop for the drain (shouldn't that be required). In addition, the hoses were made out of plastic. Perhaps I need to start looking at condos. I was hoping to live in a nice apartment so that I wouldn't have to deal with fixing things.

I don't see any mention of lossless.

I definitely don't need as much speed as the stock would have. I really need to get out and test drive one some time. I've just been too busy. If I don't get the A4 Quattro or BMW 328i, I'll probably just end up with another ever so boring but reliable Honda Accord v6.

I'm with Nate. The S4 looks so much better than the Golf R. I keep looking at the A4 (since I can't afford/justify the S4).

Inside Amy Schumer

$400 If I needed a pair of closed headphones, I would keep them. I thought about keeping them anyway but I have too much junk in the office already and know that I am just going to continue to use the HD600 95% of the time.

I am thinking of sending mine back. While they sound pretty good, I just like the HD600 so much better (which is what I currently use in the office). Basically, unless they are turned up the PM3 sound a little too distant for me. Also, they still sound like closed headphones. They do seem to have a little more bass boost at times than I would like. Since I don't really need closed headphones in my office (and I certainly don't need yet another pair of headphones), I think I am going to return them. Also, my left ear started to hurt a little after wearing them for a while.

Yuck!!!

Thanks for the very vivid description of that color Nate.

Only if it is made of unicorn hair.

That is a sexy car. I love the blue.

Canistream.it is innacurate this time. It doesn't list Netflix as a way to stream the IT Crowd. Al, I've been watching it on Netflix. If you haven't ever seen it, I would highly recommend that you watch it for your own well being. The first couple of episodes may be a little slow though. Doesn't hulu have commercials? If so, why would you watch it on hulu over Netflix? I am assuming that everyone on the face of the earth that has access to the internet has Netflix of course.

Glad to hear you are alive Marc!!! Sorry about the in pain part. Hope you recover quickly.

The Work Outing is fantastic.

Indeed.

Back to rewatching the IT Crowd. Just watched Calendar Geeks. That was a good one.

Looks great Nate!

This!

I've been binge watching the L Word (never watched it before). Just finished the final episode.

Good luck with your surgery Marc. Let us know that you are ok as soon as you can.

I thought you only measured headphones anyway.

Have you bought any other headphones this year?

Can you actually go 60mph anywhere in DC?

and I don't like seafood so I probably would be pretty unhappy.

Got the Oppo finally (they were supposed to be here yesterday, damn Fedex or weather). I like the packaging, very Apple-like. They feel very solid and are very comfortable on my head (although I have a smaller than average guy size head and my ears are pretty tiny). They are really light compared to the last two pairs of orthos I owned (LCD-2 and Thunderpants). Also, so far, they don't suck like most closed headphones (listening with Tidal + ECP DAC + DSHA-1).
