Oh, okay, I know what you're talking about now -- Hirsch showed me his recently. Very cool. Yeah, the abalone shell is cool, but you reminded me of something else...I think I'll get myself an all-black pen -- probably a Rotring.

Awesome. Here I was thinking, "what the hell is the difference between a control grip and a tripod grip?", and now I'm just laughing too hard to care. Do those things come in ballpoint or gel ballpoints? 's'pretty pen.

Lego Man washes up on beach... ...no, not really

Does it have USB? Even if it doesn't, you still did real well -- I think (without having heard it) that that's a really good price for that, and that it'd be a step up on the Art DI/O.

I hope you get as much action as aerius claims. That's about as close to "fuck you" as I can get.

Well, since you got it, it'd probably be easier to do it the way you're doing it, but it's the same as (from within EAC) burning with a cue sheet, except instead of doing load cue sheet, you do "new" or something, and then just keep adding tracks. Or you can just notepad an existing cue sheet and look at it, and change everything to the appropriate values. Well, alright, maybe it's not that easy, but I'm a computer geek, so it seems pretty easy to me.

Magic smoke got released.

Dude, do you know how easy it is to create a cue sheet?

Or it could be something else entirely.

I don't roll that way. Hey, good eye, Juan.

Happy birthday to the guy who is the heart, soul, id, ego, and superego of this hobby.

Of course, now that I've said that, I have it stuck in my head. "Girly Man! Girly man, man, man..." I had to listen to this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zo1-XlazvY]Justice, Genesis[/ame] to get it out of my head.

That was pretty bad. Could have been worse, though. It could have been filmed in a prison, and the part of the girl could have been played by a tranny.

Not true -- I enjoyed it immensely -- very cool. I just forgot where the link came from -- I tend to see more YouTube links on other forums I frequent, so I thought it was from over there. I liked the video a lot. I especially liked the part when the one person grabbed the bottom of the other's shirt, and the CGI effects fell down. The fact that it was a cool electronica track didn't hurt much, neither.

Arby's -- Chick-fil-A was closed (woulda got there in time if I had gone there first...alas...)

Pan's Labyrinth, Borders Exclusive Edition Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr., Eternals some magazines

Can I have her number when you're done with her, playa? She kinda looks like a more girl-next-door Claire Danes.

Not too shabby.

Dude, Pandora. Take the time to set yourself up a radio station properly: start by picking the most prototypical song you can think of in the style that you want to hear more of. Let's say you want an entire radio station that sounds like Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" -- you click on "create a new station", enter "Ball and Chain", scroll down 'til you get to the Social Distortion choice, then click it. Voila, you're done. Well, not quite -- you're well on your way, and if that's all you did, you would probably be pretty happy, but you should do more. As songs play, click the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icons -- only if you really like or really hate the song (or more accurately, "really think that song is appropriate for this radio station", or "really think it is inappropriate"). Also, while they're playing, if you can think of any other songs of a similar vein, then here's what you do: Left-click on the down triangle next to "ball and chain radio", and click "add more music to this radio station"; Enter other songs as you did similarly. Also, if you screw up, you can always left-click->edit, and remove added songs, and songs you've "approved" or "disapproved". Have fun! Experiment. Oh, and apparently -- Slim Devices and Pandora have some sort of agreement, and the whole interface is somehow compatible with the transporter. So if you like what you hear, you should look into that. You can approve and disapprove straight from the remote.

I'm not the biggest Grado connoisseur -- was that horseshoe-shaped thing always there, is that new, did it used to go all the way around, or what?

You may want to wait a bit -- it's been rumoured that a Bernstein set will be released on SACD: link

I agree, too. If you're trying to decide between the two, then you have enough doubts about one to be with the other, and vice versa, then you shouldn't marry either one. Don't get married until you meet the girl that you feel you have to marry.

You may not.[me=Dusty Chalk]assumes an indignant air.[/me] Tell us more about both women. Which one has the interest in audio (if either)? How about the other one -- does she tolerate music, or what? Religions? How does it compare to yours? Which one has the wealthier parents? Is either one a drama-queen? I friggin' hate drama queens. Do either of them have a hot older sister? Aunt? Single mom? Live in the DC area?
