paultagyeah dude15:35
paultagI love glass15:35
dzho( Rehm isn't as old as she sounds, I don't think.  She suffered the same idiopathic voice loss thing that Scott Adams did, iirc, and clawed her way back to speaking on air)15:35
paultagShe's amazing.15:36
paultagI listen to her nearly daily15:36
dzhoborn in '36 according to wikipedia, fwiw15:36

paultagbut I find myself really missing them when I don't have them on15:40
paultagthey're pretty darn spiffy15:40
dzhothat you're hacking them is totally the upside.15:40
dzhothat google has added "15:40
