What to do next?
I'm not sure I'd say the Millett is something you can't miss. It's a heck of a budget rig, don't get me wrong, but I'd encourage something more challenging.

Schiit Audio reveals gorgeous six-watt Lyr headphone amplifier
Gorgeous? No, not in my book. I might approach elegant if it wasn't named after do-do but I'm not sure I'd even rate it as sexy. I am curious to learn how they made it, "Tube rollable to permit use of hundreds of different tube types", that just doesn't seem possible unless the tube isn't doing, well, shit.

Generally, they are spec'd by the hole they leave behind but I wouldn't count on any more than half a tenth +/- of accuracy.

Favorite Albums of 2010
Two that come to mind for me are: Swallow The Sun - New Moon (although it was a late '09 release) and Gangstagrass - Gangstagrass (web-only, limited release mp3, now vaporware unfortunately) I'm sure there are many, many more but I've been in a musical drought lately so my memory is badly faded.

What did you do today?
Got up, cleared the driveway, drove to work. Was one of roughly 10 employees to make it in (out of 60 or so) so it was a remarkably productive day. Now home listening to the wind howl outside trying to contact customer support for my wife's laptop which appears to have chewed through yet another battery. :S

Fuck in snow
Less than 12" of snow here but it's windy as hell. Gusts are allegedly in the mid 40s, I believe it.

What did you do today?
I just went dbl checked the tractor and put some more gas in it. All ready for the storm, which means it won't amount to squat.

If JH acknowledged receipt then they are 100% at fault and owe the kid $$ or replacements in kind.

Apple Tablet
The 3G/S certainly look dated now, by comparison with many competitors. But I'd argue that they wasted a ton of $$ on the 4 screen. Yes, it is nice, but the screen on my X by virtue of size and a still high pixel density is a much richer overall experience. There's no sense of pixelation or loss of resolution unless you're holding the phone 6" from your nose, which is indicative of far bigger problems for the user. In truth I'd prefer a slightly smaller screen that I currently have, perhaps just larger than the Droid Incredible's, but I'm 95% fine with the X size-wise.

Etymotic and the utter failure of the new foam tips
Hmmm, perhaps not all hope is lost... I'll certainly update this thread when the new tips arrive from Etymotic.

What did you do today?
Jacob, Given the season, take this one to heart, be very careful around frost, snow or more importantly damp/wet smooth floors at the entrance to buildings. Crashing on crutches hurts.

Wiring up a relay really isn't much work, but it's likely to land you with a $20 to $30 switching arrangement.

Apple Tablet
Yup, I have high hopes. Given what Moto has been able to do with the Droid it is reasonable to expect that they can make both a compelling and capable device to compete with the iPad. And of course their promotional material is going to be over the top with regards to the industry leader/standard. All I know is that so far my Droid X is a far better phone and certainly the equal as an entertainment device compared to my iPhone. Granted, I didn't have the iPhone 4 but there's a least a chance that Moto's offering will be something that interests a lot of folks.
