  1. Winding down with a post gig slice of "the carnivore". Can you guess what the primary ingredient is? Yep. Bacon and more bacon. it's past our bedtime, but we don't care!
  2. Enjoying a mid gig slice at the DNA lounge. Working with the drummer FTW (yes we were on the guest list)
  3. Taking the day off with joanne. Lunch at Sam's overlooking the bay, with the beautiful people, and us Then onto "The Cult of Beauty" exhibition at the legion of honor thanks to some free Tix from a friend. Now chilling with a Latte and free wi-fi in the city before a meetup with a bunch of Brits. Later we're supposed to be on the guest list at Slim's. We shall see. Not a bad start to a long weekend. All this and Eurovision!

  12. 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 ...
  13. A co-worker, just back from a trip to big cheese country, thought I might like this
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. In Soviet Russia ... (possibly NSFW) http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-09-06/europe/30127816_1_breasts-russian-elections-dreams
  17. Stopped by May Madness in San Rafael Real Live Cobra (RIP CS) Just Because you can put a V8 in A bike. should you?
  18. 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

  24. 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
