Achilles Tendon Rupture
Just wanted to offer a word of support -- you seem to be pretty tough, I think you'll come through this okay.

No-one's buying Dusty, Dusty is not for sale. And you couldn't handle two of me.

Actually, that sounds like them charging up.

Awesomeness. I really like these two.

Canjam 08 Meet Impressions
So it's alright to eat the ugly kind? (Just kidding, I know it's dolphin tuna, not dolphin mammal.) Rekx -- we're actually spoiled over here in Maryland -- I don't eat good seafood near as much as I'd like, because to get the really good and fresh stuff, we have to make a small field trip to Annapolis. You'd be surprised how much mediocre seafood is served in this area, considering how close we are to the sea ocean. Actually, recently I've taken to eating seafood as frequently as I can -- if we're eating out, it's on the menu, and sounds good, I'll order it and say, "Doctor's orders". It's the truth, too. So I vouch for the fact that it's rarely fresh fresh fish. Tyrion -- thanks for the rec on Cantlers, it's on my list, now, too.

old toy commercials
Yeah, those kind of sucked, didn't they? "How can we repackage a Slinky?" "Why would we want to, it's selling so well?" "Because pretty soon, everyone who wants one will have one, and then sales will taper off." "So? If every household has at least one, then we're still doing really good. Besides, they kink if you actually use them at all, so those people will have to replace them." "If they're selling that well, then we can get rid of the marketing staff, which means you'll be out of a job." "Oh." "..." "Uh." (tugs at collar) "..." "How about -- we stick things on each end so they look like long animals?" "Now you're cooking. Go tell it to manufacturing."

Apple 8GB Iphone Refurb $250
That's a software issue, not a function of the 3g. As far as I know, Imap already works, what other issues are there? Push? I'll have to look into it -- I had someone else say something to the effect of, "Apple needs to get email working the way Blackberry does", so I do know it's an issue, I just don't know what it is. EDIT: Just found an article that synopsizes the problem. Looks like the answer is going to be, "no".

Apple 8GB Iphone Refurb $250
That can be done, too, but then AT&T won't subsidize it, I don't think. But yeah, I'm waiting for the 3G. June cannot come fast enough.

Well, yeah, who hasn't? But the person in that vid just looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

The first time I saw those two clips, I didn't even realize it was the same person right away. I'm surprised he didn't have an aneurysm since that older clip. He must have switched to decaf like that same day.

No, never mind, I didn't realize it was the second half of that one. "Fuck it, we'll do it live!" Awesome. How great is O'Reilly? This great:

K1000 = hope
I understand giving up one's L3000 before I understand giving up one's K1000. So consider yourself only mildly berated.

swt61's beautiful work
Are you sure you'd want that? You'd get all sorts of comb-filtering from the backwave. Closed headphones need to be specially designed to minimize that, that's why most of the higher-end ones bulge out like that.

No, really, I meant the iMod -- it's its own punishment for not searching the archives.

100 Essential Jazz Albums
The Miles Davis cross-section is almost perfect. I would add Cannonball Aderly's Somethin' Else (tip o' the hat to thrice for that one -- it has remained a favorite), some representation of the Relaxin'/Steamin'/Workin'/Cookin' sessions -- perhaps the Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions? -- and something representing the 65-68 Quintet output (personally, I'd do the boxset, but there might be a better single album). Chick Corea is sinfully underrepresented -- one disk? Fusion needs reprazentin'. Also, shouldn't Keith Jarrett be represented with both a solo piano disk and a trio disk? I guess my summation is that -- as stated in the intro -- this list is obviously stilted towards jazz's early years. And there is such a thing as vocal jazz, I just don't think Frank Sinatra should represent that.
