Speaking of long time -- I finally got those LED lights I ordered a couple months back (first shipment got lost, and I didn't say so right away), and people asked for reactions: Meh. They're definitely not bright enough for lightbulb replacement, I'll have to try a brighter wattage (IIRC, they were 3 watts).

Cool.

I asked for that.

17 months? You have above-average patience. Oh, and nice TV.

That's not what "guess" means.[/pedant]

I used to have that problem, but I don't remember the solution, and I don't have that problem now, so can't try to recreate it (the solution). Try a different USB port? I do remember patience being one of the problems -- need to give the two devices a chance to shake hands and whatnot. I do vaguely remember that I (a) had to have iTunes already running, and ( the iPhone should be on. Trying Hopstretch's suggestion is also a good idea.

That's why I recommend getting the best one can, because then you don't have to wonder. And I'm not just being snarky -- the psychology of "wondering" plays into your musical enjoyment. Of course, it also plays into one's empty wallets/pocketbooks/purses/etc., but that's your problem.

No, if it's good for headphone listening, it's more than good enough for speaker listening.

It'll make me think of that landshark skit on SNL every time. "I'm really a dolphin, ma'am." "Oh, well then I suppose..." (opens the door, gets eaten)

The latter, of course.

Bananas. I love bananas.

I thought they were pretty much all bass light, except for a few in a small range (around 500, IIRC?), but that those were inferior in other ways, which is why they "went back".

Thankssszzz......

This sounds like an unrecabled pair -- am I right? I don't prefer the K1000 over the O2, but I feel it has a place in my collection, and the O2 does not. The K1000 is so different from every other headphone -- mostly in presentation, but if well driven, it's also one of the better dynamic headphones (it, uh, is dynamic, isn't it?) -- that I just like having one around to listen to once in a while. The O2, the HD800, and pretty much every other headphone out there, even the one with the drivers that are more or less in front of you (one of the older Stax models, I forget which ones, great big horkin' boxes on the ears) don't compare to the K1000. The O2 is downright pedestrian in its presentation -- they're still basically headphones. Not that there's anything wrong with that! (I love my headphones.) But the combination of the wings and the quality just elevate the K1000 to something special. And good point about the meets -- the meets are a really hard place to listen to K1000's. You basically have to be able to listen to two things at once, and then tune one of them out. Usually the louder one (at the levels I listen to, anyway). Sort of like watching a transparent computer monitor view superimposed on a pair of glasses while walking down a busy street.

That's a typical day for Savage Love (a column I used to read in City Paper).

Oh-ah...er...uh...um... (...means "I love you"...)

"Epitaph One" unaired Dollhouse episode that Joss Whedon did on his own dime -- pretty fucking good, if you ask me. Interesting. Dark. Quite a departure. Depressing. Topher's performance was particularly poignant. I also liked how they thought his area was a day-care center.

Shades of Redd, Freddie Redd Quintet, needledrop Dig! And sounds exquisite, I really need to set up my own needledrop rig.

Happy birthday!

"selective"?

I actually had to think for a minute what 14xl meant.
