Salt Peanuts

Just ordered a Giottos blower through Adorama since I was ordering couple of things from there (and I've found stuff from Adorama gets delivered the next day due to the proximity of their store). Unfortunately, I've found the locals stores (at least the ones I've been to) to be rather lacking in most things, except for albums and picture frames. What I should have done is grabbed those things when I was at a Hunt's branch last week. I wish there was one (Hunt's branch) closer.

That's too bad. I know they were moving to a new location at some point last year so I wonder if that was the reason for lack of communication. Mind you, they still should have communicated since it's not like their e-mail address changed.

Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days

It may just well be a lint and the solution may be as easy as blowing some air on it. I didn't inspect too much as I needed to leave for work. It doesn't affect the pictures, so I'm not overly concerned about it, just little annoying until I get used to it and stop noticing it.

At least iPad's reported WiFi problem isn't causing kernel panics like it did with G4 iBooks (though in the case of the iBook, physical connection on the inbuilt Airport card was breaking). My old iBook started doing that bit after Applecare had expired.

EIFL may also be able to help you, though I don't know if their price would be better than audiocubes II.

Warren Zevon - Mr. Bad Example

Just found a dust/speck on my viewfinder. Don't know how it got there since I hadn't changed the lens since putting on my 35mm right after I received it and dust/speck wasn't there then. Annoying since the reason I exchanged the first one was because of dusts/specks on the viewfinder. At least it doesn't affect the pictures.

A lens pen and one of those air-blowing rubber bulb thingamajig.

Van Morrison with Georgie Fame & Friends - How Long Has This Been Going On

Used my rowing machine for the first time in two weeks (shoulders had been acting funny). It was not pleasant.

Dizzy Gillespie - At Newport

Duke Ellington - Blues In Orbit (MFSL)

Just found out that the work has me running part of new staff training on the day they were making me take a day off. I don't really care about the day off since I was taking it off because I was getting close to the maximum vacation time. I'm just annoyed that now I have to go find the right people so I can get this resolved, one way or another. Predictably, those people are in meetings for rest of the day. Argh.

Happy Birthday, Zach!

John Coltrane - Ballads

Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love

I have Herbie's Audio Lab's threaded stud glider under my Eminent Tech speakers w/ SA stands. They've worked well for my purpose (making speakers bit more stable and protecting the hardwood floor) and they also make making placement adjustments a breeze. Herbie's Threaded Stud Glider They also have spike/cone coasters with glider bottom on them if you prefer to keep your cones/spikes.

I think you're confusing it with Kansas.

Derek & The Dominos - Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs I really need to get more listening time in at home on my main rig. I think I've done 90% of my listening at work for the past month or so.

Nice! Good luck to your wife!

Cream - Disraeli Gears

Have you tried the Lightroom 3 Beta 2? It seems to work well even on my (relatively) ancient iMac but I really have nothing else to compare it. I'll probably download Aperture 3 trial to see how I like that one.
