Well, my new MBA took a dive from the passenger seat of the Landrover onto a concrete garage floor. It was at least in a small incase sleeve luckily but it still ended up with a dented corner and upon start up the mouse would not work. Restart seems to have fixed that for the moment but I believe this will have a much shorter life span now.

I have zero issues with Lion so far. Of course it would have to make the computer piss on my carpet and steal my wallet to be Apple's version of Vista. Launchpad seems useful but I still have not dug that deeply into it.

The new MBA is so much better with semi-intensive software (Aperture, LightRoom) than my previous generation model.

The 11 was my first choice but I decided that this one will be fast enough to be my main laptop for photos, etc. so the extra screen would come in handy.

I haz her. Interrupted the vacation to hit the Aplle Store as soon as I hit the airport.

Man I sent Colin to pick up my new computers at the Apple store this morning. He is going to have a long wait if he can't buy them in store until tomorrow.

They would be great, but 40k for background speakers in my office seems a bit extreme.

The Focal speakers are already out of the running. Showed up with huge imbalance between the two speakers. I have to set one to -4 and the other to +10 and they still need to be about a quarter turn apart on the volume knob to be any where near balanced. They are going back tomorrow.

After missing that deal on the SCM20-2 this morning that went within five minutes I have been trying to find my own pair. I head them some audiophile show and liked them.

My money is on disliking them all and just buying the ATCs I want.

These and These and these for a Battle Royale for my active office speakers.

Close to making the purchase of one of these as a HP amp/Preamp for my office. Just can't decide between this and a Woo WA-2 for that purpose. I wish I had spent time listening to this at CanJam but the big amp made it hard to listen to anything else in Todd's room.

Sorry to hear this Al. Glad you were all able to be there I am sure that meant a lot.

Of course it is going to be released during my vacation and not right before because that would have been way too easy.

I am hoping that while they held off putting out the new MBAs until Lion was released they made enough so that I can walk into the store and buy one on Thursday.

Very nice. How's the fit and finish on the MKII's? They are great looking divers.

I have liked everything of his I have read to this point.

Happy Birthday Birgir.

Happy Birthday Mike.

Yeah, I only bought them because I thought it was lower than the normal price and I thought someone here was looking for them.

A cheap, minty pair of Sony CD-3000s. Not entirely sure why I bought them but they are my first headphone purchase since the HF-2 I believe.

I saw the Sony Macro coming in October but I had not seen this lens yet. Should come in handy.

Happy Birthday

It does seem about time for another Wrist Shot Day. Mike, look at the Brookstone watch winders. Excellent for a lot less than the Orbitas.
