No cries,
No splashing,

Finally! Now I can sign up*... oh wait.
*I meant my other account of course. ;)
I sit... and I listen.
I listen to my favorite classical pieces, metal, works of beauty. Sometimes I lie down, but usually I sit down, with the monitor off, and let the music reach my soul.
At night, alone, in the darkness is the place where you can really listen.
This afternoon I dropped by the Mashable/Scribd Davos Documented media house where I listened to +Pete Cashmore interview a panel about SOPA and ACTA. Good stuff, which you'll see on +Mashable soon, I'm sure.
On the walk back to my hotel I had to walk up a fairly dark street and on the left there was an alley lit by candles with a woman holding a sign that said...

This one will be harder to pass as it requires a person to differentiate between fractions of a decibel.

But can you pass this? (I could not, even with my $80 headphones.) The great audiophile 128kbps vs 320kbps MP3 debate.

Turn off the lights, purchase a large monitor, get some HQ headphones (or HQ speakers), and 14 minutes before you sleep... watch this.
It's all HD - I recommend full-screen with good speakers.
