Glad to hear all is well Al. Trust me, you're thrilled you didn't tear your ACL.

You be quiet, you. Who says I'm trying to lose it? And I'm nowhere near smart enough to duplicate, not to mention improve upon, that design so why bother?

Heh. Mortgage + Kid = double whammy, but I love both so it's ok.

Al, I aired the cases out a bit before using them. Seemed to help a bit with the smell but I agree, they are not odor free. Me: I sat through a 3hr meeting that should have taken 1.

The iriver looks rather "ipodish".

Is there an actual release date?

WUT?

You trying to say that amp isn't green Colin? As for what I have planned next...well, stay tuned, it's underway.

Glowing Hybrid Amp

You might think about the Trends TA-10, I've heard that little amp on drp's stat rig and it does remarkably well. I think they're ~$180.

Happy Birthday!

You got a one track mind today Stretch.

The first Gen Zune was ok, not great, but got soundly kicked to the curb by my Ipod Touch. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with but I'd take iTunes over the horrid mess that was the first gen Zune software.

I think Kevin already posted some impressions somewhere of the T2 vs. BHSE.

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

It's a long back story and not worth retelling IMO. Vicki was in the right, the other person being a semi-douche, nuff said.

Yeah, scratch that. Just did a bit of estimating on Imagineering and $150 per board is not at all out of the question. That would put me firmly out of the "I'll pitch in to help" camp. A $150 board I'll never use is not something I can do right now.

I'll try to buy a couple of boards to get #'s up. I'm guessing $50/each or so for these things.

I bought it years ago when Stephen King recommend it in an article and figured it was about time to give it a read. I'm 100 pages or so in and so far I'm with you, it's very good.

Hinckley is the location of the Triumph Motorcycle plant.

Add to the list: remove and replace rear brake pads. Special thanks to the asshat at Hinckley who decided that it would be reasonable to expect someone to disassemble a portion of the exhaust to replace brake pads.

There's no work around that I can find that would allow me to receive them unless the sender has the ability to essentially send me an email from there phone which isn't really the same thing. And most of the folks that this is an issue with (my parents, for example) have basic run of the mill cell phones with cameras that can send pix messages all day long but not email. Right now I'd just really like to see a picture of my new niece but that isn't an option on the uberfail phone.
