Fun, short read- http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2013/12/29/head-fi-versus-hi-fi-beats-by-dre-and-the-future-of-the-high-end/
"Beats – by itself – is outselling the entire hi-fi industry combined, by a factor of two."
If you live near a computer/electronics shop I'd stop by there. Last two iPhones had a surprisingly solid, black TPU case similar to http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009F39WB6/ref=redir_mdp_mobile picked up for $2.49 locally. No screen protector (dislike decreased viewing quality).
Happy birthday Guillaume and thanks everyone!
Here:
Opening presents with a more aware this year Esmé which was a blast. Then a fourish hour road trip to 'family' up near Tahoe. Currently cooking turkey & 'tators fills the air while snacking on favorite childhood banana cookies between Manhattans. Later will visit locally famous Christmas lights of a bail bondsman and maybe hot tubbing - a traditional Christmas.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
