+1 on Grados.  you like like a 1940's airline geek, and they aren't closed-eared (so not ideal for noisy enviros), but that sound...

Best Buy to stop selling CDs on July 1.  Target to follow soon after if the music companies don't agree to buy back excess stock.

Love the grado sound, but horrible for portable listening.  Not just for the open design...but that fucking cable.  It's like 20 feet long.  I've had mine for at least 10 years.

you and my 4-year old son.  i get woken up many a morning by 38 pounds of energy jumping on my chest, handing me my phone and loudly exclaiming "CAN WE WATCH A ROCKET LAUNCH?  CAN WE CAN WE CAN WE HUH?  ROCKET LAUNCH?  WHY AREN'T YOU AWAKE YET, DAD, ROCKET LAUNCH?!?!?"

but yeah, the fact that today's launch went off flawlessly is mind-blowing.  this was an amazing feat of engineering.

I thought for sure it was going to explode on the launch pad.  Instead, we get live views of StarMan!

The central rocket exploded when it missed the drone ship upon landing.

Thanks.  I figured that was the case when we lost the signal but hadn't heard yet.  Still, payload in orbit and 2 out of three rockets returned safely for reuse is still a huge success.

Now lets see if the payload can get through the Van Allen Belt and on it's ways to Mars orbit.  I also suspect we lose the live feed for the duration of testing the USAF barrel roll in space....

‘Clueless’ Star Stacey Dash Files to Run for Congress in California

See, now we're closer to on the same page than even I imagined.  This was all rage at the CA Dem Convention this past weekend, and I nearly posted it here, but then stopped when I felt it was too CA specific. 

But you're right, if this thread is not the perfect space for the collision of Clueless and politics, then where else would be?!

SMACKIE APPROVED.
