Those look awesome Al!

Happy Birthday Deepak!

Not technically a smoothy but made my own almond milk in the Vitamix today (following this recipe more or less). I used a strainer instead of a nut bag which was fine except the the pulp was too was to keep and use for anything. soaked almonds filtered water 1/3 vanilla bean (these are expensive!) 2 Medjool dates too much cinnamon (> 1/2 tsp) Tastes great except it could use more vanilla bean (maybe 1/2 of a bean), dates and less cinnamon. Next up: Horchata

Looks tasty!

Just finished Season 5 episode 8 of Breaking bad... ahhh, when are they going to put up the second half of the Season on Netflix?!?!

One of my thoughts/worries was arthritis (namely psoratic arthritis) since I have psoriasis on my toe nails. Gettin arthritis at my age on the feet would really suck. Looking up gout... don't want that either. There is no redness that I can see so I am guessing it isn't gout. My guess is metatarsalgia. I have been doing more jumping/runnng for PT lately. I used to have pain on the ball of one foot, years ago when I played volleyball (10 years ago) but I don't remember if it is the same as before and I think it was on the other foot.

You'd be better off if they aren't real. They might sound good.

At some point today, the ball of my foot starting hurting. Now it hurts to walk on it. Fuck, I really don't need another injury; I was just starting to get over the other two. I also have no clue how it happened. I hope it is temporary.

Jacob, you could also pick up the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 - I love mine. The 35mm and 85mm should be a good combo (although you would have to carry around two lenses). The 85mm is pretty small/light.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol I is now free to read online (legally). Hope they put up Vol II and III sometime. http://feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/

It's a Sprint version so I'm not sure it would work with Verizon. I'll probably keep it to give to Tim's daughter who has been known to break or lose a phone or two.

Sorry Larry, that really really sucks.

I think I am going to get the iphone 5s when it comes out. I am tired of my super slow Nexus S and I've always wanted an iphone.

I'll be lucky to break 100 each week with my team.

Radiohead - Kid A still as good as ever

I know, that is what is so frustrating! In addition I would much rather have iOS than android for certain apps like Remote...

I really don't understand the giant phone craze. I can't even completely use my Nexus S (4") screen with one hand - I can only reach part of the screen. There is no way I could use something bigger without dropping the phone every hour. I do have really small hands but there must be 25% of the population with smallish hands I would guess. All I want is a fast (that won't be sluggish in 2 years), relatively thin phone with ~4" screen with a good gmail app, Swype type keyboard, and a long battery and without a lot of bloatware. Is that really too much to ask? I guess I would also like LTE now that I think of it.

^This!

Sure, we don't really need a car...

Hmm, I was looking into these camcorders and the handheld ones (in the price range I was looking) have sensors that are smaller than the sensor on my S95. That makes me a bit worried. I wanted to have a camera that can take 1 hour+ videos and I just don't know if the S95 or DSLR is going to be able to handle this (especially without getting too hot). I have a Kodak ZX5 that is a camcorder but the quality of the video sucks (I accidentally bought two when I was getting one for my brother and then forgot to send one back).

Sorry, for $120 I expect free shipping. Also, I would be a little worried buying olive oil from a place called "cosmetic solutions."

I had a NEX 5 with 18-50 and sold it. It is an odd shape for carrying around in a small bag (I would like to have zooming capability so the pancake lenses won't do) and doesn't fit in the hand as nicely as a camcorder. I never found myself carrying it around when I had it. I suppose it technically might be as small or smaller than a handheld camcorder. I should probably go to Best Buy and try some out in the hand before buying. @Jacob: As for the Nikon D610, if they don't have the problems of the D600, I may end up getting one...

Looks great, especially the short ribs.

I'll look for it.
