  3. That IS badass.

    jelly jar I'd imagine. I can remember a broken coffee cup there too at the end and bad weather coming in.

  4. I listen to music with my headphones on DJ style on one ear. We talk a lot during the trading day, so I have to be able to hear things I might be missing.

  5. I think I remember hearing once that possibly Sony manufactured a pair of smart headphones. The idea is that when a certian signal strength is reached in the ambient noise outside the phones, it mutes the music and turns on a microphone on the outside of the earpiece so you can hear the people talking to you.

    just a thought for you if you'd prefer the stereophonic experience :)

  7. I'm all for "feeling like a computer," yet I know NOTHING about electronica or trance.

    How about some suggestions?!?

    :)

  8. technically, this is neither electronica or trance, but an absotute classic from the early 80's amongst futuristic computer music composers:

    Kraftwerk - Computer World

    I promise you will enjoy this record.

  10. I rarely listen to CNBC or Bloomberg, they have nothing usefull to say most of the time anyway. I constantly listen to music while i am trading, the style depends on my mood. But, it does help the time pase while i am waiting for my set ups and it gets a good groove going.
