Sotp it!

Favorites: Rogue Dead Guy Ale -- a good "all-rounder", not heavy, not particularly hoppy, not adulterated with flavor, just something that I can almost always reach for when I want a beer. Rogue Shakespeare Stout/Mocha Porter -- it's been so long since I've had either of these, and they're so close, that I honestly don't remember the difference. These are much heavier, so I tend to go for them during the coldest months. They hit me as having some maltiness and some dark chocolate & coffee undertones, with a fairly clean finish (considering what you were just drinking, it doesn't coat your mouth). Budweiser -- tastes like someone figured out how to ferment water. retch Anchor Christmas Blend -- just about the only flavored beer I like, just a perfect combination of spices to give it a "seasonal" flavor, without tasting fruity or whatnot (I think it's primarily nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and the like, perhaps some oats? not sure...). Again, a little on the heavier side, so not something I'd reach for every day, but really good. And don't ask me which year -- I know they change their recipe each year, but they're close enough together -- and my palette sufficiently insensitive -- that I don't really taste the difference.

Except I never did find Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior or Aerosmith's Rocks on SACD.

It depends -- what characteristics of those preamps draw you to them?

Weatherbox

I use a Firestone Two-Stage -- link -- for the flat edges. I was told to just get a set of round metal files for the serrated edge.

Is it possible just passing it through the other way might help?

Oh, c'mon, we've all accidentally bought two pairs of speakers on eBay at the same time accidentally. Look at the bright side -- you have a very cool retro high-end surround speaker system. I'd put all four in.

2x Taylor TruTemp Digital Cooking Thermometer/Timer -- one for work, one for home. ...+ a bunch of other stuff.

NS-1000's? That's the four-driver one, with the beryllium tweeters? Jebus.

Nice touch with the icing. Dusty approves.

Yeah, but it'll look even better decorated with a freshly decapitated skull. I'm kind of hoping the contractor doesn't come through in the removal...

Why? I mean, I understand there are minor differences (the non proprietary phonejack probably being the most likely to be a deal-killer to people of this site), but it's not as major as between the first and second generation iPhones, with the 3G. You really need that mic input? That said, no money, I understand, and can relate to, completely.

Hooray! I wasn't sure there was anyone here who was in the market for an iTouch that didn't already have one, but I still thought it was worth posting.

Anyone know what Super High Material is? Does it mean compressed to audio death, or is it actually a good thing? Houses of the Holy Oh, and you can keep your "early Pink Floyd" and "Flaming Lips" and the like jokes to yourselves. Bwa-ha, very funny, so funny I forgot to laugh. Yeah, why don't you marry yourself. Ew, that's disgusting.

See deals today -- iTouch-relevant.

So today's gold box deal is a first gen iTouch 16G: two hundra dolla Almost worth it. I suspect less than anyone here paid for a new one or refurb.

At least. It'd be a fun exercise to go through and add up how many minutes of watching that is. E.G. Legend of the Twilight -- 300 minutes Berserk -- 623 minutes Megazone 23 -- 255 minutes Naughty Nurses -- 60 minutes Neon Genesis Evangelion -- 650 minutes Amazing Nurse Nanako -- 180 minutes Silent Mobius -- 650 minutes ... etc. ...or should we just assume an average of...say, 333 minutes each? ...x28 ~= 10,000 minutes of anime?

Drove. Ate. Drove home.

This thread is win.

That's a kind of bizarre mix of features. I wonder how much data (in minutes/seconds) one can fit on 16G w/DSD...?

Jesus Christ that's a lot of anime.
