  1. Happy Birthday Brent. Avoid the scrakes + FP's and hope you get to enjoy something like .....
  2. Al, would wearing one of these get you the day off, er, for contempt of court?
  3. http://xkcd.com/418/
  4. Watching it via projecting image through pinhole in card onto surface Can see the crescent. Strange quality to the light.
  5. Good Food, Good times. Are you volunteering to do this at an HC event?
  6. Comcast abandons 250GB data caps, will trial tiered plans starting at 300GB So will my unused (like that happens) capacity roll over? wait, this is comcast we're talking about ...
  7. A co-worker, just back from a trip to big cheese country, thought I might like this
  8. Too much in this day an age to suggest that "Journalists" engage in fact checking.? http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/training-resources/journalism-basics/640-fact-checking-separates-journalism-from-rumour-and-gossip Do I detect a pattern? http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/harbeth-p3esr#comment-483252
  9. The Chocolate Chips sound a touch colonial to me, but other than that I approve!. The mouth-feel combo of fat (cool clotted cream) sugar (Strawberry Jam) on a base of a warm scone alternated with a good cup of tea is one of civilizations finer achievements.

  11. Stopped by May Madness in San Rafael Real Live Cobra (RIP CS) Just Because you can put a V8 in A bike. should you?
  12. World's first 384 kHz converter, phono stage preamp and headphone amplifier with an integrated atomic clock Rubidium Atomic Clock Rubicon is the first DAC to integrate a Rubidium atomic clock, which is 100,000 times more stable than a traditional crystal oscillator. Coupled with Antelope’s 64-bit Accoustically Focused Clocking technology, the Rubidium achieves a breakthrough in jitter managment, improving the sound quality in an unprecedented way. The same technology is implemented in the company’s flagship master clocks used for scoring blockbusters such as Avatar and available at the best recording and mastering studios around the Globe. http://antelopeaudio...ic-AD-DA-Preamp

  14. The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a piñata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations EDIT: Content also available directly via http://www.vanityfair.com/contributors/michael-lewis
  15. Happy Birthday Shelly!
  16. So, Justin Bieber is louder than Motorhead, AC/DC and The Sex Pistols… – wait, WHAT ?
