I realized this morning that I had never seen my grandfather without his shirt on. I shared this revelation with a friend of mine, and he promptly questioned my sanity.
"The big rip," as I have dubbed it is finally complete. All of my CDs now exist on my RAID-arrayed drives as 128kb/sec MP3's, consuming a formidible 24gb of space. It took roughly nine months and a significant amount of patience, as some of the older CDs have seen better days, and I had to rip them at 1/4 speed in order to prevent errors. Now comes Part 2, which is going through and double-checking the ID3 tags. Yay.

That's some impressive shit, right there. Um, not having never seen your grandfather w/o a shirt, but rather, "The Big Rip." That and 280k miles on your '87 Dodge. Mine is a '93 Corolla, hence the tape deck. However, I've still got all of my old cassette tapes from around that time and earlier and thus driving time was a good opportunity to listen to them. That car is going to have to give me a couple more years, I'm afraid. Especially if my kitty wants dental surgery (okay, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want dental surgery, but she does need one of her canines extracted). Do you write code professionally?

Yeah, I heard about the Fung Wah Flip. Crazy shit. My friend that I went down there with said that last time she road it the bus evacuated and within minutes the whole thing was on fire. So yeah...no more for me!
