The Monkey

Yes, but... "At a media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, this month, Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook, ducked aside with Messrs. Dorsey and Costolo, according to journalists who saw them, fueling buzz among investors that the companies appeared particularly cozy." They later were seen at an orgy.

Now they want to buy a piece of Twitter.

I want these.

Happy Birthday!

Sometimes I think Apple has never really understood the internets.

Agree. Lots of refinements and little goodies. I like refinements and little goodies.

Supported Models iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) Xserve (Early 2009) MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

Yeah, I'm a maybe. But I'm going to rent a bike this weekend to see if I still know how to ride.

I stopped by the Apple store today, and I'm very surprised I didn't buy anything. That said, the rMBP is a nice machine. The display is gorgeous. But I was not drooling over it. I noticed some jerkiness in scrolling, which really bugged me. Still a very nice machine. Then I spent some time with the 27" iMac. I loved it. However, I really wish websites were optimized to take advantage of the screen width. It looks weird to have them centered. Zooming in can make a nice difference but some of the graphics then get pixelated, which is the only time I would find myself wanting a retina display. The 21.5 is nice but I would want more screen real estate. So, it doesn't seem like there's a perfect machine for me right now. A 21.5" iMac with retina would be pretty great. At the same time I really want the 27" iMac but feel like a complete sucker buying a machine 440+ days into its cycle. Bah.

Yeah! And I should probably get a bike...

We were talking about that during our Brooklyn Walkabout. So funny.

Shelly, is your insurance covering this?

Ordered.

Hard act to follow, but here's one of the shots I got with the D700 70-200 2.8 loaner last weekend:

I think they're ugly and I also think Kickstarter is a pain in the ass. Other than that, great stuff!

I need me some PURPLE DRANK headphones!

Hung out with my best friend in the world tonight, whom I had not seen in way too long. It was really nice.

enablers!

I know, but I think I would prefer a nice clean install of the OS X from scratch. I guess that's the old Windows guy in me.

I am now thinking about an rMBP when Jungle Cat comes out or whatever the fuck it's called.

Yeah, this one will pay for itself within 5 months.

Got an offer from my Lender on a refi for 62.5 bps less than the one we just closed a couple of months ago. Getting a 50 bps lender credit to go with it so closing costs will be under $2k. So, I can't believe it but....here we go again.

If you've got any extra codes or anything like that, I'd definitely be interested.

I posted a photo of my rig, including the LCD-2, on the Audeze FB page and Alex from Audeze is now generously sending a new pair of pads my way. I asked for the non-leather version, which could be interesting. Anyway, a nice gesture by Alex and much appreciated.
