Apropos of nothing: How easy is it to weld plastic?

my little monster has a logitech mini mouse and she really likes it. Short cable, too.

Logitech v100 mouse for notebooks it is, though I'd recommend a trackball over a mouse, especially if you have RSI.

The roadkill post, BTW, was fantastic. Thanks.

Grasovka in frozen stone "glasses" fresh from the freezer.

can you sort the img tags out? there are several missing....

I don't see the issue with being able to shorten on occasion - 160 chars isn't that much.
Smthng we cud all read. But then, kids like to differentiate themselves, no?

My little one wrote some responses in phonetic English on an IRC channel this evening (normally German) and I got asked: "drunk?"

They should know better - I need to write very clean English for work, I can't turn it off at home.

No noise, just looking for "better" (read "different" sound). I heard what the change did on my Senny HD600s, I was hoping for something similar here, so changed without really listening on the original cable.

They work really, really well with electronica and flatter overproduced pop (take a step forward, Madonna). The bass is stupidly deep and clean, possibly a tad overblown, but I can deal with that with some stuffing.
Well-produced albums (Sting's "All this time", John Mayer's "Where the Light is double-CD) sound pretty damned good. These are for work.

Back to backs with the 600s (which cost around 3 times as much) are favourable. Robbie on "Beyond the Sea" is more present and less veiled. It's less tiring on the HD600s. For Jack johnson's "Sitting, watching, waiting" or "Vultures" from John Mayer, the d1001s bring the stage to right in front of you, the 600s let it be much further away.

I'm happy, find the sound great for a set of €100 cans.
Combined with my daughter's iAudio 7, they sound fantastic and I get them back with difficulty. If they were slightly cheaper, I wouldn't think twice, as they also fit her nicely, which is more than I can say for the 600s... and they're incredibly comfortable, even with the extra weight of the butyl.

after throwing up last night and fitfully sleeping most of today, I almost feel human again.
Then I get told that the building will probably have scaffolding from 1.May to November. And it's going to cost us a fortune. Yes, we'll get new windows, glass on the balcony and I don't know what else, but it means I've got to shift all the plants

Bret

very nice!

These:










.. are my new headphones.

Following instructions from head-fi, they have had their cable replaced with something from mogami:






The plug is from Switchcraft.



While I was at it, I damped the cups with some Butyl I had lying around from the car job.




Since I'd already done that and was listening, I figured I'd take some time and do some product shot practice while I could.
