Had bacon as part of a full English on "Tinkerbell" before landing at LHR Thought I had been smart getting a payg mobile deal with all you can eat data (15 quid via three) for visit only to discover there is marginal/no signal at jo's mums house Driving down to Brighton today, on the right side of the road in a Golf Blue motion. Will see what mpg I get given half a tank of diesel was 45 quid Free WiFi in Starbucks (that's my excuse) Nice weather though

Claire's email arrived safe and well, albeit a bacon free Top 10. Will endeavour to rectify this omission somehow

Sipped an overpriced latte at SFO while waiting for Richard Branson's finest to ferry Jo and I back to the UK. And double posted it would appear.

A sad, but not totally unexpected day. Take some time and read the all too familiar tale of a squandered opportunity here Too expensive for the mass market, too cheap for audiophiles, too flexible for marketing to get their heads around: too bad. Maybe the future is renting / streaming from the cloud, or playing in a walled garden ... Or maybe it's putting a software player on a raspberry pi, driving a USB DAC ... Nothing stops the existing hardware and software functioning today .. ( or tomorrow, in a VM going forward ... ) * sigh *

Carl, old news Strippers look to GOP to 'make it rain' http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/23/politics/tampa-gop-strip-clubs/index.html Or Some comments ... the reason they aren’t going is because leftwing activists are camping outside every strip club in the area with cameras looking to get pics of important GOPers going in…the RNC has issued orders for no members to go to titters…to not give libs any ammo ... Fuckd up world we live in where a politician can’t go get a lap dance and donate some of that donation money to hard working single moms. Shit ain’t right.
