Things We Learn From B&H

looky
  1. Sennheiser-25SP headphones are still overpriced at $79 for a floor model. I could have gotten a much nicer set of headphones from Sony for the same price… or a much much nicer set for $20 more. I hope I can return these…
  2. if you’re going to buy a hard case for your cabled boom pole, make sure you accounted for the length of the cable in addition to the pole (I have to kind of cram it in there)
  3. Some elementary school kids in Cincinatti, OH, are missing their 6 Mavica cameras right now because B&H sent them to me instead. I wonder how they are getting these back?

Mail for David Chadwick

looky

Chadwick you complete monkey;

I just reread my copy of Thank You and OK! before I donate it to the Palo Alto Buddhist Temple, and read the section where you mention “nine clay balls.” I’m sure you recall, you never do get around to describing what it means.

So, I’m thinking, this is the Information Age, it’s been a while since he wrote that, maybe someone somewhere has published what that phrase actually means.

So I Google it… guess what. There are only two articles containing that phrase that are archived by Google. One of them is a list of names of punk bands, singled out for their terrible names (Dogen-inspired punks?). The other is… you.

And you still don’t describe what it means.

So? Did you make it up? Is it your version of “the thing with the cup“? Is it some scatalogical koan equivalent?

Tell me tell me
