more than my usual zero

i mean we had a consulting group inspire me to ask our CTO (another longhorn, great guy btw) "please tell me we didn't pay these guys very much" and I had the distinct pleasure of reading my CEO tell some asshole vendor that he sucked at his job

yesterday, Doctor appointment, please buy a blood pressure monitor and send me the results, go see orthopedist about your hand

Monday and Tuesday this week, audit; meeting starts a 6AM sharp my time and lasts all day

anyway good week

Also worth adding the neat thing was that there was exactly one of each, no more, no less. Absolutely have had days with more than 4 meetings, including all 4 services. Just never EXACTLY one of each.

EarPods can get fucked.  I’m going back to the old school headphones

Agreed. I have two that I like. EarPods always fall out of my ears.

My go-to for traveling are the in-ear Bose corded noise-cancelling.  These are perfect for long flights. I recently thought about buying the Bose EarPods, but two problems:  first, they would fall out and get lost in an airplane seat; second, the battery life is only 4 hours. Forget that nonsense. 

The other that I like are shokz bone-conducting headphones. They let you hear other things in the environment. Great for the gym or while running outside. And they don’t fall out.

They either fall out or I flat lose them.  I've got some Bose, great noise cancelling for now.

Not quite ready to get rid of my Airpods until a better, non noise cancelling option comes out. I still like to hear what's going around me when I have my earbuds in. I see plenty of people with death wishes walking / biking with noise cancelling earphones on.

 

Question I have is how do people jog without their airpods falling out?

Use shokz. They’re awesome and you hear everything around you. I love the ones that strap around your head, but they make over ear things too.

Find a pair that fit your ears?

[thunderlounge 7642]

I use Shure in-ear monitors.

While eating a third-rate hamburger in an airport bar at ORD this evening, Billy Squier’s “The Stroke” played. 
 

Do you think he intentionally wrote/bought/recorded that song as a retirement plan? Knowing that it would be a staple of topless dancers until the end of time?

When’s the last time you were at a strip joint?
