  1. I'm Ric and I like screamo-crunk and old time radio. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1820945974/openmix-the-worlds-smallest-audio-mixer
  2. Good luck on both ends.
  3. I'm all for vertical/portrait video (on web players can be customized). On the subject of the march of time, not sure how many have seen it, but Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid is on Netflix. A little love letter (including The Impossible Project). Just watched.
  4. You new phone people using standard or zoomed?
  5. Well, in camera v. post aside, the pros/cons really only come into play if you expect the users to jump between ratios regularly (especially after framing or in multi-format mode), right? I agree with you in practice with every camera I've ever used (never change ratios and stay full), except the LX7, which I did all the time because of its convenience. On the other side of things, on the near fly cropping has never been easier with WIFI and mobile apps. I just want every sensor to go 1:1.

  7. Well, they think the sensor area sacrifice is worth the consistency across ratios (as they also did the LX7).

  10. Probably it's my love for the earlier members of the series, but anyone else interested in MFT Lumix DMC-LX100?
  11. On the other side, the store seems very Google Play at the moment. Some encouraging Swype which doesn't work well. Others Swift which doesn't work well.

  13. U2 may be working with Apple on new format: http://time.com/3393297/u2-apple-new-digital-format/
  14. Trying to update my iPad 3. Held steady at 12 hours to update OTA. After a couple hours stopped and started downloading in iTunes. Now showing 26 hours.
  15. Got a couple hours? See the Ars iOS 8 review.
  16. Some good Gruber comments on size - http://daringfireball.net/2014/09/the_iphones_6
  17. For those without Dinny-sims, Digital Trends is here to provide useful size comparisons.
  18. Blast off!

  23. The first was a very soft, pillow top innerspring mattress (toddlers weight) and had no real edge support. As daughter recently got her own room we have to calm her sleep (sometimes several times a night), which means often falling asleep on the edge of the twin bed. Which means without edge support barely being able to walk the next day. This choice was our mistake for not thinking it through. Exchanged for same brand memory foam. Twin seemed great on the showroom floor, but we elected to move to a full (dual use when visitors visit and move us away from edge) and I suspect because of construction, though we may have had a lemon that didn't cure correctly*, now the 25% outside edges are as/nearly as firm as the showrooms (which is a year old and should have more give than our new one), but the middle 50% isn't. Went back to test display and confirmed. Now it's miles better than the first bed, but already feels like it's 5-10 years old and sagging in the middle (though I suspect it won't get much worse in near future being mem foam). Now we could probably live with it, but two weeks in don't want to (especially after Doug's story). Options in same quality/price point, are to go back to twin in memory foam (hopefully would be like showrooms) or firm version of first innerspring, likely in full, to keep away from edges. If next step up was a minor cash outpouring we'd probably do that, but it's unfortunately a doubling (as my options now are locked to dealer). * Sleep like the Dead says "At least 12% of memory foam bed owners say the bed they received has significantly different firmness than the one they tried in a showroom."
  24. Shelly did you end up picking something up? Are having problems with the earlier mentioned daughter's mattress (and unfortunately also its mem foam replacement), so back at shop again this weekend. While there for the heck of it tried some Klufts (and loved their lower line, Aireloom, even more). That was before I saw their price tags (the store only carried the up to $20K mattresses ). http://youtu.be/cz0Eo2aDs_A The Airelooms though are back to semi-Earth-bound McRoskey/Tempur-Pedic prices. They're a hybrid of ten/dozen layers of traditional and contemporary materials and were pretty fantastic. When GF & I are ready to replace our mattress I'm sure a base Aireloom will be in the running. The salesman, a pretty nice guy whose been great dealing with our issues, also confessed his opinion that sex isn't quite the same on memory foam. Or as he put it looking at me "you have to do all the work and the older I get the less I want to do all the work."
