  1. Dislike. I hope you feel better soon.
  2. Something nice about a smaller camera is you can get into more places. There isn't much room for argument when the sign in the museum clearly says no SLRs, but "point and shoot" cameras are fine.
  3. good to know.
  4. I dont know if its too late, or if you saw, but cut the EXTENSION cable and leave the cable on the headphones stock. Gives you more chances to re-fix the cable, and if they ever get "the squeal" you can still send them back to Koss.
  5. The tips of the pins on the amphenol connectors have a little hole in them. Strip the wire, stick it through the hole, and solder that way. Do not to get any solder on the sides of the pins. Just the tip.
  6. I really like separating AF and shutter button on my DSLR. Makes re-framing so easy.
  7. Does the sigma software let you tweak at different F-stops too? For lenses that focus perfectly at F(max) but front/backfocus at F(2 stops less)?
  8. HD580 with HD600 grills is all black. The headband is kind of slate-grey, but it can be covered up with a Beyerdynamic headband-cover. Or painted.
  9. Someone had a set they could not part with for $25 less than the $50 more than they are worth, and started a rumor to drive up prices. That's why.
  10. Although I cant think of ever seeing a smaller dreidel, those look like regular sized dreidels to me. I have seen larger dreidels, but they are always referred to as such. Now I want an actual mini dreidel, even though it probably wouldn't spin well and I don't play the dreidel game. KG should get right on making a 4-sized dreidel out of about 72 carbon atoms. Whatever the least number of atoms you can see the letters would be... It would go well with his hammer.
  11. Happy Birthday Knucks!
  12. JB Weld contains iron particles. It is not safe to rely on it for any sort of electrical insulation. A bunch of people fried computers with this when it first started to be fashionable to JB-weld computer chips to heatsinks. Just be careful not to get any JB weld near pins on low voltage parts and you will be fine. If you do need electrical insulation there are readily accessible options. Devcon 2-ton epoxy is available just about anywhere you would find JB weld and lists dielectric strength in its datasheet - 600V/mil.
  13. Although it is probably splitting hairs - JB weld probably has better thermal conductivity than superglue. JB weld is certainly electrically conductive, so be careful not to bridge any pins.
  14. They are not orange in nikonworld, they are blue/green in canonland. J/k, and yea, raw.
  15. Even if the saddle is a good fit, your butt may need some time to get used to it. This is also important to remember if you spend a good deal of time off the bike. The saddle that felt awesome all last summer/fall and now feels like bad after a lazy winter feels like bad because your butt is no longer used to it.
  16. Thanks to everyone who chipped in for this! I made my goal, and went in the ocean. It was cold. Drying off was actually painful. Once I got dried off I realized I was not really all that cold. Then I went in the water again.
  17. Happy New Years everyone! The polar bear swim is just a few hours away, and I'm super excited. I just wanted to bump this before I took the plunge.
  18. Happy New Years!
  19. Happy Birthday Jacob!

    Yo, guys

    Perhaps you could say who you are, or were, and when, and where you know us, or think we may know you from.
  21. Not cheaper than a DIY oil-filled G-shock I filled my F-91W the other night, and am proud to say that it has held up to several passes through my shower, and does not show any bubbles in the face. I don't actually own a G-shock watch... I cant decide if its my style, which I'm pretty sure means its not. The ressence 3 seems like it was really built "just for looks" (only 5ATM WR, IIRC) but, still bad ass. I am kind of a sucker for weird face layouts or uncommon movements.
  22. Happy Birthday Steve!
  23. I have no experience with that brand, but FUUUUUUCK, if ever there was a watch begging for liquid filling. The way that crystal is domed! OMG. I was thinking of liquid filling a G-shock for stoopid-water resistance a while back (because its cool to have a watch that is WR to 1000m) and one thing lead to another and I found the Ressence 3... Liquid filled watches with hands look totally amazing. http://ressence.eu/
