Sherwood

Had a great night last night, thanks in large part to good suggestions from you fellows. Since I had a late-ish session, a few of the big name brewers were all out of beer. Luckily, I didn't have to rely on Cigar City to get me through. I didn't keep notes, but I did follow a route, and I'll compare some impressions with my map later today. Lots of excellent stuff there. Looking forward to having the whole crew here next year.

I already drank. S'okay, though, as Christians seem to forget that book of Leviticus asks them to observe Yom Kippur, and instead we worship saints...

What a start to a day of atonement.

Yeah, lousy timing this year, huh? How am I supposed to get drunk tonight in training?

I'd be willing to legislatively rescind term limits for sheriff bat man.

I'm using the Speck case with the tartan cloth background. It looks nice and protects well, but it is effectively impossible to remove once you put it on, and the JH13 doesn't fit super well. I'd try another, were I able to do it again.

I hope you won't, as I've placed an order as well. Part of me feels like this thing has jumped the shark already, but that's an odd feeling to have about a piece of electronics.

just plain sucks. Cupertino is thick with smoke let out of thousands of copies of mail.

This is actually a very logical plan. We all like headphones, of course, which are very portable. We also all like large quantities of beer, which are less portable. We all drink copiously at headphone events, as well, but have to compromise our drinking on the basis that we're not at the largest collection of beers in the world. More sensible to bring headphones to a party than to bring a party to headphones.

I do, and they're new, and I trust your taste. Top of the list.

Just finished hardwiring my network on a decent gig switch. Still not getting much content into the system faster than 2 mb/s or so, but now it will move around pretty quick.

Yeah, It'll probably be gone by my saturday session. Happened to a few of the super-hyped beers last year. My other option was to go early and get all the beers, but go alone. I consider my decision to be my vote on the true importance of beer.

I'd be happy to handle that for you, nums. I'll PM you my details.

One could call Brian Eno.

I'm tempted to imply that you broke the McCormack on purpose to justify the Brinkmann, but I think we all know you better than that. Is it awesome?

I think it's a shop.

The problem comes with how difficult it is to describe the fitness of an output stage in a bullet point. One has to either be Colin (or Marc, or Naaman, or anyone but me), or just buy the thing and listen to it. And if there's one thing I hate about music playback equipment, it's listening to music.

^ nothing there makes any sense. Why is the first word of the title in lower case? What am I looking in those puzzle pieces? Who bought the first edition? Also, If you havin' TV Tough-dog problems, I feel bad for you, son.

I've never eaten anything there. I honestly don't know if they serve food there, let alone crickets.

Look into Avery as well, Steve. Lots of great stuff there.

He mentions that dipoles cancel their own side waves, so they don't require the same placement from the rear wall. In his words: "Panel or dipole speakers such as Apogees and Magnepans cancel their side waves, so a formula of .618 x the ceiling height can be used for determining placement from the rear wall. Most box speakers radiate low frequencies in all directions thus a formula that places the speaker to rear wall distance at 1.618 the side wall distance should be used."

Ha... "peg"...

There's no better beer place in Denver, unless there's a festival in town. Falling Rock is very good.

As I'm sure you're aware, Dan, that recommendation will be well heeded. Yours as well, Erik, though much of what you've listed I can buy with frequency here, and as such am already in love with. Bend is new to me, however, so I'll give them a spin.

Weirdly, the last naked dream I had was 4 years ago or so, shortly after I got married. In it, I remember feeling awesome, like I was naked in a public place and no one could do anything about it. My subconscious has since found other ways in which to needle me.
