Glitter lamp, it didn't photograph real well though. The other side is silver.

My new favorite lamp next to this one.



I think this one is more befitting an Icequeen.

Bought all 9 of the Clone Wars Tech Deck toys from McDonalds today!
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Why not use Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3?

Not all MP3 players will support Ogg Vorbis.

iRiver brand MP3 players do. But good point, because my SanDisk Sansa does not support OGG files as well. But I dislike the side effects of MP3 compression on sound, especially when it's 128 kbps or less. Sounds like a typical YouTube video.

Any format will sound bad at 128 or less.

Both of my iAudio (Cowon) players, as well as my phone, support Ogg, btw. I like the format but I prefer FLAC.

What about AAC at 128? I really need to learn more about AAC encoding (settings) because My DSiXL only plays AACs.

AAC is somewhat better but I don't have a player that supports it. And in the end it sucks too.

How does Windows Media Lossless and FLAC compare?

FLAC wins, every time.

Well, apart from FLAC sounding a whole lot better, Windows Media whatever is still Microsoft and not to be trusted. It's like trusting Sony, FFS.

I have a christmas tree with that fiber optic-y stuff in it.  It's fucking pretty as all fucking fuck.

Nothing really. Probably a meal from McDonalds, that's about it.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

A comprehensive vehicle test for the Jag. Cost me a fortune but now I know exactly what I need the sealer to fix and what I need to do myself.
