Last night, Nicole and I had several friends over and we wound up watching The Sentinel. The movie was not all that great but what I found even more distracting was the rattles in the room generated by the substantial bass of my subwoofer. I was probably the only one in the room that noticed [...]

I don't own a Mac but Steve Jobs makes me wish I did every time I see one of his keynote addresses. Today my friend Luke sent me this link to a non-Apple speech Jobs gave at Stanford in 2005. Although I'm somewhat skeptical of inspirational speeches give by the 0.00001% who become extremely successful [...]
It keeps getting better: Sonos software update
Last week, Sonos released software revision 2.0. This is the third time they’ve released an update in the ~1.5 years I’ve owned one.
