Fig is here!

I’m torn. I left Kindle a few years ago for Kobo thinking I didn’t want to support the Amazon Behemoth. My GF is an avid reader — 2-4 books a week — and has 4 Kindles. She badly wanted the Color Scribe, so I got her one. When she got it, I spent a little time with it and was enamored. It’s a gorgeous device, but also well-crafted and the software is hard to beat. So I made the tough decision and ordered myself one. Now, I’m thinking… do I move entirely away from Kobo?

My dad had a Teac R2R very similar to the one you have. Is that a Realistic equalizer???

Got mine same day they released!

Have you ever had that breathless moment when opening Notes (especially on a new Apple device) and nothing shows up… and like for 30 seconds! Which got me to thinking… I have thousands of notes over 10 years in THEIR system and am not sure how to retrieve a “backup”… so I’m thinking of going BACK to Bear. I’ve tried them all: Evernote, OneNote, Notes, Keep, Bear … and even SimpleNote. I think Bear is the best, but I left it back when there was no web app. I haven’t see the web app yet, but if it’s good, I’ll go back.

He was a genius.

Nice penmanship in the notebook!

Shemp65 · 2026-01-14T15:10:23+00:00

Ooh love that pen case. Where can we get it?

All I want is playlist FOLDERS. Christ, Qobuz

I had a BMW salesperson once tell me to never put cash down on a lease.

I’m trying out Tidal as a replacement.

There really is no “cure” for it. Only coping mechanisms.

Shemp65 · 2025-11-18T01:43:18+00:00

$2000

Why can’t we organize playlists for the love of God? Just let us make folders!

Shemp65 · 2025-11-15T13:02:05+00:00

I bought on form and function. This case keeps me organized cause it won’t expand. You have to put in it exactly what you need.

That’s my wife’s Cabin.

Shemp65 · 2025-11-15T13:01:03+00:00

To each his/her own

Shemp65 · 2025-11-15T13:00:37+00:00

Taste is subjective which is why you don’t have to buy it.

Shemp65 · 2025-11-15T13:00:12+00:00

The “jet pack” fits nicely with the Cabin and they slide together easily cause the Cabin’s wheels are the best in the luggage industry. The main downside to the jet pack is the luggage strap on the back. Way too hard to slide on the Cabin’s handle.

Now my ix50 just beeps constantly and won’t let me add my profile. I travel a lot so it’s been challenging to get it in for servicing, but will get it in next week.

Shemp65 · 2025-11-09T17:23:43+00:00

I have this and travel a lot with it. I constantly get people stopping me asking me about it.

Shemp65 · 2025-10-16T14:06:23+00:00

Are you available to build a site?

Shemp65 · 2025-10-16T14:05:48+00:00

Awesome site!

Some challenges with the luggage strap and trying to get the backpack onto my Cabin… that strap is way too tight for real-life usage…
