And now what did you do TODAY?

[Dusty Chalk]

Are you sure it's FM vs. satellite?  Might be Honda vs. ...er...whatever it is you got in its stead.  Which I don't remember.  I know my Suzuki had an outstanding sound system...

Satellite radio had promise, but the usual market BS of having two incompatible standards, rather than having an open inter-operable standard,

and shock horror competing on price / service / quality.

 

So given finite bandwidth from the birds, and the marketing message that More Channels (N) was better than the resulting 1/N average bandwidth,

what do you expect.  

 

If you're a long distance trucker, travel in the satellite footprint with line of sight, when out of cell/radio coverage, it has its place. But audio fidelity is not  a strong point. It shouldn't be harder to put together a better sounding stored media solution these days.

Capital work on the Capitole Sir!

[Voltron]

Capitale idea, my good man!

[Voltron]

Great design ideas in Brooklyn these days!  Wish I were hanging with you although I took another day off and hung around the house taking down the allergy-inducing Christmas tree and other items and will be going out shortly with Claire's teacher friends for German beer, schnitzel, and karaoke of all things.  I won't be bothering with the last of those.  :/

[agile_one]

Al does karaoke ... I love it.

As someone who has suffered with multiple flakey sources I'm very happy for you.

Jacob, did you threaten the Capitole with one of your knives?  Congrats on the resurection and getting back into SpeakerFi.

[Augsburger]

Hopefully, I won't need a tutorial with mine as it is working fine for now.   *fingers crossed*

Got a free flip cover for my Note II, thanks to Brent.

Caught up on my facebook while I was there.

Posted all the amusing images in slower forum.

Great photoshop. Had to save that one to my phone even though I did not pick up the mic last night. I thoroughly enjoyed the choucroute garni platter I had for dinner and the various beers I posted, so why wreck it by embarrassing myself at a dive bar?

until it goes out for a Gauloises break and gets killed in a riot, anyway.

Nice work, Mike. My yard is currently a very monochromatic white.
