The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday, Nutty!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Re: the Thakoon collection.

Spats. Lots and lots of spats. Really? I don't get it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tep, have you tried the sport earbuds that go over the ear, like these: [link] ? I'm completely incapable of using any plain earbuds for exactly the reason you're describing, but I love over-the-ear thingies to death.

Do they sort of sit outside the ear canal, rather than snuggling into it? If I have earbuds that sit outside the ear canal, I have to crank up the volume (which is more a failure of my auditory physiology than the earbuds, I'm aware).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Teppy, I've had these since I first got an iPod, and I love them.

Meanwhile, I got up to call into a 7AM conference call, which is at 9AM everyone else's time, and it's pretty much all about fallout from Gustav. I do not need to be on this call. And yet here I am.

That link doesn't show anything, Dana.

Gross on the conference.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Nutty! I hope it's full of squash courts and tasty treats and captivity narratives.

Hmm. Can't tell if the problem is my link, or the Apple Store. It's the first result on this page:

I think it's the apple store/that product, since if you click on the link, you get the same "updating the store" notice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Do they sort of sit outside the ear canal, rather than snuggling into it?

They snuggle, but the over the ear part means that they don't have to be pushed in there in order to stay like plain buds do. Which for my delicate flower ears is OW OW OW OW on the rare occasions that they stay in for more than 30 seconds.

Apple store is down because The Steve is giving one of his little talks today.
