happy december-based nonsecular holiday!

so made it up north quite OK, though with a handy dandy cold. got a really nice set of Grado Labs headphones (who coincidentally also have the shittiest website ever). every time I move up a notch it’s an “omg no way” move - I can hear recording booth echo in stuff now, and it’s awesome. can’t wait to try it on some real CDs. hell, I may have to switch to APE or FLAC encoding now.

I did manage to find one thing that’s been pissing me off a good bit since I saw it. there are some anti-Net Neutrality ads playing implying that it’d cost more for me to actually use Google rather than whatever my ISP deems appropriate. the ads are so bad it’s laughable, but it’s not like there’s a counterpoint being offered in the public media. so, now I have a cause.

floating in space

so I got an iMac a few days ago.. it’s pretty decent, I’m enjoying it. It has a bad hard drive but I have a firewire enclosure that I wasn’t using so it all works out, really. I really need to get rid of some other stuff now, though. Still have 2 PCs that I could be divested of.

I also added a last.fm tracker to my blog. Since they do personalized charts and all, I’m thinking of going through every week and seeing what it is I’ve been listening to and then coming up with a paragraph or two on whatever the standout act is there. It’d get me to write in this thing more often, if nothing else.
