John, sorry to hear about your ordering debacle but from everything I've read your case is a common one unfortunately.

88 with 50% humidity right now.

New Crooked Still? Dangit, I completely missed that. Guess I need to make a trip to the store too. Jin, I've been on a wicked Greg Laswell kick lately. You might check him out, I like his new album Take A Bow a lot. It trends towards the melancholy at times but never gets me down.

Heh. The party was great despite weather flown in from South Florida. It was hovering in the upper 80s with high humidity all day but thankfully we had 4, 10x10 tents to provide some shade in the back yard. The cake was a hit too, although the hot weather was not kind to the icing. Peter, those pictures from the hike are outstanding. That's one of the things that I miss about living in Southern NH, there isn't much to hike nearby.

Happy Fathers Day guys.

Yesterday I worked straight through from 7 to 3, ran some errands on the way home and started mowing at 4. Finished mowing at 8, ate a quick dinner, started baking cupcakes and a birthday cake for Lily's party (today). Finished baking and icing the cake and cleaning the kitchen at 12:30. Got up with Lily at 6:30 this morning, woke Mom up at 8 and then started setting up tents and chairs in the back yard. So very, very tired already. I wonder if snorting icing would help?

Happy birthday, David!

The Guess Who

I read their About and FAQ sections, I like these guys a lot. I'd mark them down as the first interesting amp manufacturer that I can think of in a long time.

If you spread the crap out it might not be super crappy.

Apple apologizes for iPhone 4 ordering fiasco - Computerworld AT&T suspends sales to fulfill current orders Reason #438 why Apple should kick AT&T to the curb.

Very limited or flat-out no warranty is usually the reasoning.

^^^ woot! She's all packed up and ready to go!

My opinion, having not heard it but built and listened to several amps like it, is that if you have Senns (300ohm) it'll sound very good. Otherwise its high output impedance (120ohm) could be very hit or miss. Still, I bet it would be a fun cheap build.

International rumors are already flying about the delivery date getting pushed to July 10th.

Yes Mike, they have the hall booked for some time in late June, I can't remember the exact dates now.

It's marginally better than the 3GS, if you're due for an upgrade and don't mind being AT&T's bitch for the next two years or are willing to pay the unsubsidized price (if they even offer it that way right now) then go for it. Otherwise it holds little appeal to me, nice screen and all. Every app is going to have to be re-written yet again for the new resolution so early adoption doesn't seem all that sweet. One more point - the true conspiracy theorist are noting that Apple once again has the Moscone Center booked for late April, just a few days after the '4' ships. The running theory is that Apple's last gesture to AT&T was to give them the '4' exclusively to start but that at the end of the month after the early adopters have jumped on the train they are going to finally announce the iPhone on other carriers. I'm not sure I buy that, but it's fun to think about.

The Education discount will knock $50 off. I'm hoping that the supply side of the iPad equation will be dealt with prior to fall and that Apple will do a back to school promo involving it. That might be enough to tempt me...

Breaking bad was simply too painful for me to watch as a new dad. Once they found out his wife was pregnant in season one I had to stop.

I'd be most concerned with the max level of attenuation, graduation of steps (if applicable) and channel matching at the highest levels of attenuation.
