Super.fi 5 by Ultimate Ears - Headphones to Blow Your Ear Hair Back

by Andy Fliege | Thu, 10/30/2008 - 10:26

Ultimate Ears - Super.fi 5

My ear buds are jealous. Three weeks ago Blake handed me a set of Super.fi 5's by Ultimate Ears. He had a pair of the pro's and wanted me to give the economy model a test run. For years Ultimate Ears (a Logitech company) has been making quality in ear monitors for music professionals. Their endorsements look more like a Lolla schedule than a resume, and their website doesn't skimp on celebrity mug shots to prove it.

Three weeks ago they went in my noggin and three weeks ago my ear buds became backups. I can't tell, but I think the buds are pouting.

How was this not The Year?

by Matt Paolelli | Mon, 10/06/2008 - 18:09

It's been more than 24 hours since the biggest, quickest and most pathetic letdown of my sports fan life, but the anger, pain and confusion are still as fresh as they
were when Alfonso Soriano ended the Cubs' World Series chances with a half-hearted half swing. (Give him some credit, though. I'm pretty sure it was the first pitch of
the NLDS that he actually tried to take.)

Unfortunately for all of us, we now have a painfully long
offseason to nurse our wounds and decide what can be done to make a team that won 97 games more successful in October.

But let's not think about the future just yet. Let's wallow
in self-pity and linger over the questions a bit longer. It's our Cub-given right.
