We're on generator power now.

Wife just reported in. Power is flickering at home but not out yet. We've had storms in the past where it does no more than flicker but seeing as we're not even into the thick of this one yet an outtage seems pretty likely. I'm loving the comfort of having the gennie right there ready to go.

Found 2 gas cans to pick up on the way home. That'll give me somewhere around 48 hours of gas at near continuous operation. That should be plenty unless this gets really bad. In which case having a little more gas is not likey to matter a whole lot.

Not good and glad Dinny isn't there. We're installing sandbags at strategic locatoins around the island in an effort to minimize the potential for flooding of bad things.

The wind is starting to kick up pretty good here along the NH coast. I'm sure it pales in comparison to what others are starting to experience as the storm heads for NJ and I guess we'll see how it goes later this afternoon when the big winds are supposed to arrive.

Yuck.

One more time.

Dinny, please watch the forecasts carefully. They're starting to say some nasty stuff about what this storm could do to NYC, especially areas like where you live. I'm now getting a little worried about having enough gas for the generator.

i think that's what he meant to say.

Shopping done, generator gassed up and ready.

Yesterday - played in a 9 hole golf tournament, refinanced the house finally and took the wife out to dinner to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Beefy!

I can't understand why anyone would choose that avenue to dispute resolution unless it really is for nothing else than an awkward 20 minutes of fame.

The resolution game is getting insane. Retina spec displays have the potential to look pretty, yes, but I guess I'm in the minority who's perfectly comfortable and happy with a low res (1920x1200) 17" laptop screen. Oh the dpi horror and only being able to support 1080p.

That's a pretty lame excuse. The stuff they would have put in there is shit, so buy something else. I get not having an optical drive in a laptop that you're trying to make as portable as possible but to not even have the option of an internal drive in a desktop computer is at least odd. I don't dispute that we're probably 3 to 5 years away from abandoning most forms of physical media but we're not there yet.

$329 is borderline in terms of getting me to purchase it instead of the $399 10" iPad 2. I'm with Justin though, I'd be a bit miffed at having my barely purchased iPad3 superseded already. [edit]Not to mentiona refurb iPad 3 at $379...

here we go with the mini info....

The odds of that link working on my government supplied internet connection are laughable.

t-minus 40 minutes till phase II of the insanity... depending on pricing i may pick one up for the wife.

A very happy birthday to you, Marc!

Justin, Those logos are terrible. While your current logo is simple, it is effective. I would second the advice that others have given and punt that contest and rewrite the design brief and include some information and pictures of the BHSE. I'd also talk to Ed and see if he's interested in doing some design work for you.

If you can afford one, buy one. I would. You're unlikely to see a car like this in the US probably ever again. Also, I'd never buy an M3 in my 20s. The insurance is likely to be insane and at least worth checking into as it may contribute significantly to the overall ownership cost. I also think that M3's are a hey look at me car, but that's my hangup. The 335D is just about the ultimate sleeper car and I actually wish they'd tuned it for a bit less power. I can't find it now. It was something I read via Flipboard months ago and was a head to head of the Sub and Scion. The author noted flaws (not major) with both incarnations. IIRC something about a transmission in one and buzziness in both and something else. It could have just been a pissy journalist.

I think this is Indra's amp which uses dual 3-pin (although I can see why she'd think it was dual 1/4").

Peter, if you can stomach the head-fi-like idoicy of XDA Forums you can find a lot of really good deals on lightly used phones there. Imagine hoards of kids buying new phones every 6 months (maybe quicker) and selling whatever barely used piece of yesterday's fastest tech at a decent loss. If I hadn't had a Verizon upgrade that was quickly being rendered useless by their new plans that's the route I would have gone. Actually, I did got that way (bought a Rezound) and then quickly sold it and picked up the GSIII.

So...uh...I just happen to have bought a pair of HD600s that came with an HD650 cable that has been reterminated for balanced (4pin XLR). What is the configuration of your amp? 4pin or dual 3pin? If it's 4pin I'll just send you the cable. If not, we can discuss reterminating it for dual 3pin. I don't solder much anymore but this wouldn't take much effort.
