Hey Seedy, I ordered a soft top today for the Jeep.  Should be here just in time for the weather to go from 75ish during the day to 45ish (end of this week). 

Quadratec has one now that includes the Bestop hardware (the bow + door surrounds and shit like that) with their Quadratop fabric for a couple hundred less than the full Bestop setup if you're in a place where you can have one of those now.

I've argued for the longest time that the real enforcers of the slut prohibition are other women.

Yeah the only guy who is against is her dad.

Appears to be kind of a Rubicon, but not quite, plus the appearance package.  They'll be bringing a diesel engine to the US Wranglers in 2016, which I think I want.

Yeah, it's interesting to see Quadratec expand their branding into more aspects.  Though now I have access to a garage, I have no money.

RIP - Prof Peter Frank, expert on Soviet Union and Eastern Europe; I vividly remember him on Channel 4 News explaining what was happening during the collapse of 89 and the subsequent unravelling of the Soviet Union.  A great communicator.

I guess another question is: are movies on Blu-Ray somehow better than movies you would d/l from say Netflix?

I think so, absolutely.  Netflix streaming is subject to the viscisitudes vissitudes vississippis whims of the Internet, sometimes coming in what appears to be HD, sometimes muddy as shit (and I've noticed that their compression very often makes black gradients blocky and disgusting).

DVD isn't much worse than BD though, but it is noticeable.  And of course not all BDs are created equal.  Some look genuinely amazing, some only look slightly better than a good DVD.

P.S. This is a side issue, but I've noticed some DVDs for some movies will try to fill the whole HDTV screen.  I'm pretty sure The Maltese Falcon was not shot in 1.77.:1.  I've never had an AR issue with BD.

I learned from CNN today that Gerald Ford was on the Warren Commission.

I know that's right because my browser's not drawing a red line under it.
