Of course ES Posthumus was there first with Unearthed, but perhaps the next iteration of epic movie soundtrackesque music is the SkyWorld album? Saint's Row film go!

My Sony MDR-V700's finally died a couple weeks ago and as an early birthday present to myself I replaced them with set of V-MODA LP^2's and OH MY GOD MY these things loosen ear wax and make it ooze out of my ears (eargasm?) :-P

Recommendations for bass heavy songs to listen to?

It turns out I'll be back in DC come November, and I'll have the wife in tow. Maybe she can meet some of the disembodied voices she's heard coming from my computer over the years.

Drop me a line when you do! Kirsten thinks I make up imaginary friends :-/

After Ash's comment about Sunshine in the music thread, I decided to give it a look-see (don't worry no real spoilers here). It's worthy of a viewing, but it aggravates me to no end that movie makers take maneuvers in space for granted. At least they got the 16 month mission time correct. Also the physics is wrong, even IF you could shield yourself from the sun at those distances, gravity is a field effect and humans would literally be crushed by the weight of their own hair at 1 solar radii).

Never knew this was where some of the background music in our recruitment challenge came from.

John Murphy - Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)

Also, I can't remember where I've heard this before, but I know it's famous for something :-p

Philip Glass - Movement II

For those who may be traveling with family (or just want to shack up at my house), I can also put up 5-7 people with their own beds between 3 guest rooms and the rec room in the basement (up to 11 if people bring sleeping bags/cots -- did so just recently here for christmas, lots of fun) and there's access to 3 full bathrooms (well one is in master bedroom). I live about 30 minutes north of Tbone.

There are two approaches getting/keeping liberals out of power in America. Out canpaign/out vote them to prevent them from gaining power, or if they're already in charge, give them everything they want.

Just in case anybody forgot, here's how the labor participation rate (the real measure of unemployment) has been faring.

I don't know why I didn't mention it earlier, but for those of you who have netflix, I thought Tron: Uprising was a pretty good series.

tbh it could be part of a larger backdrop on getting the FAA to deal with the potential of actual "highways" in the sky must like the USDOT and the states do now. This gets back to Tbone's point about flying cars. Technology aside, the regulations are a nightmare, but we need to start addressing these issues seriously as the technology becomes less hypothetical. That push is only going to come from those with money (aka Jeff Bezos)

On an unrelated note, I had an itch when I got off of work this morning to buy a $20 scratch-off. Woman behind me started joking with me about it and I offered her half if she wanted to split the cost. She politely declined, then proceeded to swear like a sailor when I scratched off $500.

Maybe her copy would do it differently :-p
