Beer

Post by cgarges » Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:18 pm

Tonight, I went out drinking with my favorite local tech.

I can't explain what a great learning experience drinking with other engineering types is.

That is all.

Maybe if you drank less you'd be able to explain it?

Yup, any chance I can get to sit around and 'talk-shop' is a good time.

Well, within the company that WANTS to talk about it.

lol, i remember seeing the t-mobile commercial with the avalon channel strips while watching tv with a girl i was seeing. I started to explain that the avalons they were using were not being used for their intended purpose, and she looked at me like I was a weirdo. Shes lucky I didnt explain what compression is.

It's funny--I was sitting around watching TV with my girlfriend and that commercial came on. I was gonna say something about it but then I thought better of it. I bombard her with too much of that shit as it is.

The worst is when you accidentally say something like "that vocal is overcompressed" and you end up having to explain so much more than you meant to.

Dude, CNN did a great piece on Les Paul on Christmas night. Granted, I saw it about four times...

Trust me-- if you're one of the only people spending the night in the Newark airport on Christmas and CNN shows a bit on Les Paul, you'll be tempted to watch.

It's amazing to me that there's nowhere to buy a Coke in that airport after 10PM.
