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.

Definitely agree.

How do you like the air chilled chicken?

Thanks, I will look into those.

Congrat! I know I would be really unhappy if I couldn't get my favorite (Frantoia).

Well, the camcorder is going to weigh a heck of a lot less than the DSLR. My tendonitis can't handle holding up the DSLR for long periods of time.

I am think of getting a small handheld camcorder but don't know what to look for. I assume a bigger sensor is better for low light and you want a decent mic, optical zoom, and decent battery life. That's about all I know. I have read that midrange ($300-$600) is the sweet spot for someone like me. I'm just going to use it for the usual recording friends, family, etc. I was thinking of something like http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00AW54Z4K/thewire06-20 or http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00AWZFJ22/thewire06-20 or http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HDR-CX380-Definition-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B00AR95FRM/ref=dp_ob_title_ce or maybe something even cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HDR-CX220-Definition-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B00AR95H16/ref=zg_bs_172421_14 but would be happy to hear other suggestions. (I just found those by looking at the top selling camcorders at amazon). Is there a brand that is king of handheld camcorders like Canon is for P&S?
