Salt Peanuts

Yesterday - Got to work to find out I have a training that I need to attend that went till 8pm. I didn't know about it since the scheduling for it happened while I was away on paternity leave. Neither my wife and I were happy about it and I tried my best to get out of it to no avail. This morning - installed iOS4 on my iPod touch and realized for certain that one of my external drives is kaput. Thankfully, there were nothing critical or irreplaceable in the drive but it is annoying regardless. Now I'm in a market for one of those hard drive docks but bit surprised to thus far find none with firewire.

Same here this morning on my Touch (in regards to the time it took for install). I was starting to wonder if something went wrong since it was taking so long.

Happy Fathers Day! I'll be taking it easy and hopefully listen to some music, though I'm sure my daughter will have something to say about that.

Happy Birthday Lilly!

Have a great one!

New health insurance plan for the upcoming plan year. I think my head going to explode trying to figure out everything.

Thanks, Dinny. It was little odd - it'd been close to 10 years since I last had a new car and the interior/consoles look rather foreign to me.

HeadRoom Reference Tracks CD Tyll gave me years ago at a meet.

Yesterday, my wife tried pre-order through the Apple site (for the July 14th date, obviously) and after getting through most of the process, it told her to go to an Apple Store so she can actually pre-order for the latter date. She drove to a nearby Apple Store and explained the situation to a salesperson who was rather unhelpful and appeared to be clueless. I guess we'll be waiting until the damn things are actually in stock at this rate.

Picked up my new car a day early. I like it.

Some of that is probably graphic card/chip, assuming you've got an integrated graphics. Lightroom definitely runs better on my (relatively) ancient iMac compared to my (newer compared to iiMac) MacBook, even though MacBook has more RAM, faster CPU, and faster HD.

Dew eet! I'm bit tempted as well, though I've got no headphones to plugs in aside from JH13s.

The chassis reminds me of one of these on its side. In any case, their amps do look interesting and the prices are certainly right.

Trying my best not to get angry or annoyed at people. Items were turned into me for review/edit and when I went to see folks responsible for some questions, I was told the said items are actually not done/ready. Why did they turn them in if they're not done/ready, I've no idea.

Agreed (in regards to the serrated knives). If it weren't for those two serrated knives in the set, I'd have bought them a second, even though we already have few Shun Classic knives.

Pretty damn good deal on Shun Ken Onion knife set on Woot. Two of the knives are serrated, though. [url=http://www.woot.com/]Woot

My better half told me that she tried to pre-order one for me on Monday (as a surprise gift for me) but she couldn't get it through either on Apple or AT&T. Now it's looking like mid July at the earliest assuming we head over to Apple Store sometime soon to make the pre-order (Apple site still isn't working right, at least for me).

I wonder if they're getting swamped with orders - the whole process (to delivery) was really quick (much less than two weeks) once they'd received my ear impressions.

I played with Fit's Magic Seat system before making the purchase and it was neat to see how much cargo space they really squeezed into the tiny car. It'll also be nice to be able to put in a car seat for my daughter - my old Civic was a 2-door and using a car seat with it would've been difficult.

Hopefully Friday, as that's when I'll be picking it up. As much as I'll miss my Civic, it'll be nice to have a car with usable cargo space for a change.
