• For my money, a Sonos Play:3 is the same price as a Nexus Q and has a WAY better sound signature than is possible in the Q. #justsaying #

• Politics aside, I am *very* glad our town administrator asked the Obama campaign to pay the visit-related expenses. Sets good precedent. #
• Ok, now that's some serious lightning and thunder here in Durham, NH. I wonder if it'll delay Obama's campaign-stop arrival? #
