  1. Thats what she said.
  2. Clone them out in photoshop/GIMP.
  3. Contains the phrase "Cunt Punt" and general ranting: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/4ad20b4edf/michael-shannon-reads-the-insane-sorority-letter?playlist=featured_videos Original text: http://gawker.com/5994974/the-most-deranged-sorority-girl-email-you-will-ever-read
  4. I may be a 52. I'm asking my GF what size the bike she has been lending me is. How does this bike ride? I'd really like something on the more supple side, and have been daydreaming of a nice steel frame. For comparison I have been riding an Aluminum Cannondale that is a bit harsh for the road conditions in NYC.
  5. Why not just install digital transformers between the output of the USB covnerter and the DAC?
  6. Happy Birthday Jeffy!
  7. Awesomest pencils ever. I dont know if anyone is interested, but I found this kickstarter for what looks like VERY cool BIC pen holders while looking for a metal jetstream body. http://kck.st/XKqXKc Only a few days left.
  8. 35F2.... mmmmmmm yea. pretty lens. pretty pictures. Waterfall in B&W by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr The tripod setup for the previous shot. by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr
  9. I am shocked and dismayed that this thread is not more popular. I come seeking assitance - Does anyone know of an all metal body that can accept a uniball jetstream ink cartridge? The pen should be insanely substantial. Machined brass is not out of the question. Ideally it would have a screw on cap, but I'm open to clickers and pens where you spin the barrel to open. I cant find anything. Porn: An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr
  10. The whole thread is great.
  11. This photo just got "explored" on Flickr. Yaay!
  12. Lower Manhattan at Sunset by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr Taken with my Ricoh GRD4 on my Ultrapod 2.
  13. I guess I'm doing it wrong, but yea I like those things.
  14. Currently reading On The Road but I don't really know why. I guess I hope it will all fall into place, but I have the nagging fear that I will get to the end and just be left with emptiness
  15. Gorillapod - cool idea, poor result. If you want compact at the minimum go for an Ultrapod #2 - still not *really* enough for even a Leica M /Fuji X100 size camera, but totally fine for any pocketable P&S. On the note of how inadequate the ultrapod 2 is: I have put a Nikon F4 and a 28mm lens on an Ultrapod, but it was far from optimal.... I have also put the Leica M3 with a 28mm pancake on the ultrapod2, which was right around my comfort level - note no real lens to speak of! Pillar of scociety by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr Locks on the bridge by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr ^^ 2 pictures taken with Leica M3 and 28mm pihole lens. Exposure time was about 1min30sec I am soon getting a 50mm 4x5" camera. Do I loves me some wide angles? Ooh yea.
  16. QFT QFT + Acratech for a bit of weight savings and the nifty open bottom.
  17. Happy Birthday!
  18. Happy Birthday Douog!
  19. Today I bought bike shorts and gloves. Carry on.
  20. You can buy new bearings for the 1200. Replacement requires undoing about a zilion screws and moving a PCB to the side to access the bearing, but the overall operation is about a 4 on a scale of 0 to 12. On that note as long as the 1200 was well maintained (no drinks spilled on/in, tonearm not busted up, bearing oiled every 10Khours) they are quite reliable. I would go hi-fi on a DJ'ed 1200, provided it wasn't abused. Is now the right time to express zero confidence in the VPI direct drive? This is knowing nothing about the actual unit, but being prejudiced by VPI's inability to make their (very simple) motor controller work reliably. I can only guess what it will cost, and I'd get a Grandprix Monaco. Or a Technics SP10. Or a crazytoast lenco.
  21. Now I see it! Thanks.
  22. Bridge in the fog by Lord Nikon 12, on Flickr
  23. Is now the right time to mention wearing them over his hair?
