Well, what pisses me off about our indoor/outdoor thermometer is that it displays in tenths of a degree. But the instructions say that the instrument is accurate to within +/- 1 degree. It's like Mr. Spock. The poor fella never learned about significant digits.

60. It made it up to 60 today. That's like, even warmer than 10 C.

It's in the low 50's here today. For those measuring in metric, that's like, over 10 Degrees Celsius. It's like, the lawn almost needs mowing. My wife's daffodils and tulips are like, 6 inches high. That's like, over 15 centimeters tall. She is , like, concerned. Looks like I won't have to move south when I retire. Like.

Didn't. Check out the "edit reason" on my last post.

Alright. I know. But here's the scoop. Before I knew about the Evils Of Behringer, I bought an Ultrafex Pro. My semi-acoustic guitar sound so so so friggin' good through it that I'm going to have to start bringing it along to gigs. I mean, it really sounds bigger, fuller, more articulate, bigger sound stage. It's like night and day. Wow! So if I knew, I'd have bought the real thing instead of the Behringer. But I didn't know. So: too late; I'm using this one.

Oh. Well that changes everything.

Crazy Eddie was the greatest. Ha! And what a crazy fraud scheme he worked out before his IPO. Totally brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvqfvvQIoIM I'm OK with anyone not liking X-mas; Thanksgiving is such a superior holiday even without Barry Sanders on the telly. Eat big, go home. But little kids who groove? You don't like those either?

C'mon. Great intonation, good groove, great big tone on the chorus. Bonus points for style. And the kid is cuter than a puppy when she runs out of gas and gasps for breath. And I don't even like little kids; damn germ factories, they are. Point is you're a scrooge.

Could you imagine if they put that effort into music? I'll bet you don't like Christmas either.

And the damn kid doesn't even need no charts. Sigh.

One Ton Pumpkin

So. I bought a computer for the living room so we can try to cut off cable TV and just do internet TV. I returned the Google TV unit 'cause it wouldn't play Hulu and Daily Show. I shopped hard for a small unit that had an HDMI, Toslink, and speaker output 'cause I move the juice all over the house. The computer is a slick little unit that also does blue ray, but only one of the audio outputs can be active at one time. This sucks; I wasn't looking to also have to buy a USB outboard soundcard thingy. I may just have to turn the speakers up louder instead.... We're looking into the Ooma VOIP thing. Anybody have any experience with it? One way or another, the Time Warner bill will be trimmed....

This about made me spit my coffee out my nose. http://www.slate.com/id/2303531/
