Those cables are very close to twice the price of the car I just bought.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I keep telling Drew that we are in the wrong line of audio work, but he refuses to listen. Keeps saying something about "ethics" and "morals," which always makes me confused and have to go lie down until the swimminess passes, because it's Drew we're talking about here.

I mean, it wouldn't take that much work to manufacture some nice, three foot long speaker cables that would retail at a $300,000 price point. And Beverly Hills and Brentwood are right there!

We could say they were artisinally hand crafted by a hipster in Silver Lake. I'd even wear flip-flops and drink PBR while I was doing it.

Jumper cables, strip off the jacketing, slide fancy jacketing over copper, and figure out how to get a connector on there that can fit in stereos and speakers. That much copper will surely make audiophiles jump for joy. After that, it's all about marketing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The sacrifices one must make for grifting art....

Or you could have someone weave organically grown cotton fibers around the outside - charge for the hand crafting. (wouldn't that be a good project for some kids in summer camp?)

Only because I started talking about it here. So, my father doesn't want used or refurb'd laptop, for fear it will break faster. Fine. No problem. I offered to buy through my university, to save him a couple bucks. He asked if I could send him a catalog with the various models explained... a wha? Catalog? Um. Dad, I don't think they do those anymore. By the time it's printed, a new model with different spec's comes out. They just send you to the website. Of course, at this time, he doesn't have internet, so going to the website isn't an option.
