H.B.Reks.

Sounds weird, but sometimes I have luck with different apps trying to read the disk. Sure there are some OS level issues (not to mention hardware ones), but depending on your settings in preferences for CD/DVD media (may want to test different actions - including turning all off), having Toast launched prior to inserting CDs sometimes loads problematic discs versus automatically having iTunes (or possibly other OS defaults) do their work. Almost like it grabs the disc before something else goes wrong.

Actually, looks like the episodes are on Google Video. Again different format, but... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6074862934137494377

If you love Band of Brothers you have to check out The First World War. Different war and format, but insanely good.

Yeah, I've never understood the complaints about the phone either. Works as well as my previous half dozen dumb-phones. Now AT&T service depending on where you live compared to Sprint, Verizon, MetroPCS, etc. is another matter.

Package arrived today (due to my company closure last week). Thanks much Fitz. Very curious to dive in tonight. Nice track #4 on Circus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeXFE2t0AXM

I'm waiting to see what Apple offers up next month, but this is an interesting sign... Slashdot News Story | Amazon Sells More Ebooks On Christmas Than Real Books

More importantly, when did the news get so lazy it started using Yelp reviews?

Damn, I thought from some of the comments in the Oppo thread, you already had. Thus the gift exchange format. Sorry, I should have asked, but if you needed another nudge. Someday, I'll make the leap.

One bump as these are so good.

Here ya go GPH! My Birthday Comes on Christmas – Spike Jones

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. Hope you're all having a fun, warm time with friends and family celebrating GPH and my birthdays!

Have a great one Ken.

In case you're looking for some additional audio fun this Christmas... Tinsel Tales: NPR Christmas Stories (including 'Santaland Diaries' by David Sedaris) Tinsel Tales: NPR Christmas Stories : NPR Selected Shorts: Holiday Special (including Ron Carlson's great 'The H Street Sledding Record') PRI: Selected Shorts Podcast This American Life: A Very Special Sedaris Christmas (more Sedaris) This American Life http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/12/14/oh-christmas-bush/

I don't have any new news. Just like the photo.

Shellylh, as someone who carries his D70 around about 1/20th of the time he did his earlier Canon G1, due to size/weight, I'm considering giving up dSLRs. Although it may be too small for you, the micro 4 thirds, especially the Pana GF1, is really interesting in my book. You may want to give a look if you haven't so far. For some reason "feeling" the ground works better on sidewalks and dirt paths over sharp rocks and handball courts. They do work pretty well when unintentionally "surfing" down a muddy hillside though. Then again maybe I just need these.

Lindt Dark with Fleur de Sel sea salt.

Thanks Fitz. Even if it doesn't, a few friends are celebrating my birthday (also Xmas) a couple days later, so it'll nicely fit in there. Thanks again and looking forward to revealing the mystery.

As February 27th is International Polar Bear Day, we need to celebrate as the bears below. Also February 28 is Public Sleeping Day [detailed how-to guide]. I'm in.

Finally, you can unicorn people...
