NYTimes mapping of voter change comparing 2004 to 2008 elections. Pretty well distributed. Interestingly, many hit worst by Katrina (or more accurately now living there) voted more Repub while a large chunk of Texas and Alaska went Dem.

Listen I'm as suspect of some of the glowing Obama commentary I hear out there, but that's an amazingly cynical notion to imply all Obamas support and voter expectations comes only narrowly from emotion and pageantry.

I haven't. And no, I wouldn't call them bass monsters and I'm more a listen than feel music kinda guy (hate most sub-woofers), so would guess I'm extra sensitive. The top is soft so maybe some would say the bottom sticks out a bit more, but in no way are these bass monsters. Must be a big difference between these and the Pros.

Well received the DT770 Con 250ohm '05s today. They're a decent deal at the current price, but would suck anywhere approaching normal street, let alone MSRP. Not burned in, but even granting improvement will be behind several sub $200 closed cans including the A900 and HFI780 (two favorites around here I know!). Certainly congested and soft on top (while somehow also being peaky), but indeed several steps above the V6 and HD280, which I suppose are the competitors at the now $108. Weird phones, 'cause if they had a lower impedance they'd make decent carrying around phones. They're fine sounding for on the go, etc. Course you add an amp and the expectations and uses change.

Very nice. Like the gay-friendly ribbons. Is that button above the headphone jack or a light?

Thanks for the link grawk.

This morning. Have a belt case with a rotational clip. For someone reason today it decided for the first time to auto-rotate. Now I'll buy another case to cover up the scratches. Still usable and only a few small scratches on the actual screen, but sides and screen borders look bad. I kept a BSE skin on the back, but left off the front because of scratch resistance and clarity. That was a mistake, but why oh why couldn't it have fallen on the back (or on the carpet six steps away)? Such much for the resell, but I wonder if someone is telling me to get an iPhone?

For audiobooks, local libraries can be a cornucopia o' fun. Unfortunately, not our towns. Also for those wondering, in a head to head battle between the iPod touch anti-scratch screen and an average parking garage cement floor, the floor wins.

Google Earth for the iPhone was just released. Edit: Guess I got beat.

I just grabbed Tube Clock. Works better horizontally than vertically (when it gets too small), but thought someone here may enjoy.

Wonder if it's unrealistic to expect at least several steps above the V6 performance?

If you want to use Replay Gain through iTunes, no easier way that iVolume. Thought someone here may be interested. https://www.mupromo.com/

Well, I bought the Fart Can. We'll see for shared work duties. 250 ohm Con version, so should be a little less gassy, no? Hope the Pico isn't a limitation.

You're right. Sorry about the mix-up.

I really can't imagine Opera Mobile comparing to Mobile Safari. For all the Opera Mobile hype, I couldn't believe how far behind the UI was when I recently played with it (though I'm sure it's a major advance compared to WAP, etc.). Really interested in Android, but not the G1. May pick up an iPhone and revisit Android at the end of the two year contract. Hope they both push everyone else. Just wish the G1 reviews would stop about all the 'potential' and instead review the phone. We all know Android can be great. We'll see if Moto, HTC, Sony, etc. screw it up.

Any problem using a couple component video cables as analog ICs? And before I get slammed, yes I've tried it. Just curious if there was any technical reason(s) to avoid?

It looks like they may have the W5000-like non-adjustible wire band. Not good. Can't tell how much (and which direction) cups rotate. Here's hoping for a A900 solution.
