Happy Birthday!

It's tempting, isn't it

Japanese Planing Competition, with the thinness of the wood pieces reaching 10 microns thin...

Thanks for the reminder, I totally forgot about it!

I'm tentatively in, just need to check to see if there'll be any work conflicts.

It looks like the deal might die soon, if it hasn't already been killed. It hit slickdeals and there are already multiple ebay auctions for the code

Yeah, I just realized that my workplace has the program as well. Just means I can get two copies if I wanted

Office 2013 Professional for $9.95 http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/home.aspx?culture=en-US for Program Code enter: 05383F4FAC for Work Email: just use your Hotmail account You can then buy Office 2013 for $9.95 plus tax it's the home use program so I suspect that this will be killed soon, but I figure for $10 I might as well give it a shot.

I honestly had no idea they were that cheap! It's good to know it doesn't make much of a difference, but I'll take your advice and see what I can find in the thrift stores. Is there anything in particular I should watch out for? Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate the info.

I'm looking to replace my Costco special pan that's starting to lose it's non-stick properties. Should I go for the All-clad linked in this thread or is there some sort of affordable cast-iron option that I might have missed? I did a search on the forums and wasn't able to find too much info.

Uh, thanks for copy and pasting from your review on Head-fi...I guess

Wow, I think I might return my X-10's if the cable is that bad! Haven't opened the box yet, so I'd just have to ship it back to Amazon...

I have a friend down in Asheville, so I think that'd be a good trip for me

I'm thinking of potting mainly because it seems that this is a common issue with this model (and it seems other chargers have the same or similar issues...ticking or whining) but it's also annoying that they're sold out everywhere. It took nearly three weeks to get this one, so I'm reluctant to hope for a replacement in a reasonable timeframe. Thanks Ari for the tip, I'll give that stuff a try.

I recently picked up a wireless charger for my phone that works well aside from the annoying inductor whine. I was thinking of dropping some hot glue on it to dampen the noise, but thought maybe folks here might have a better suggestion of what to use. Any suggestions on a better damping material than hot glue? Thanks

Kurt Kinetic Road Machine trainer for $271.20 at Amazon I'm tempted...

I think the full copy and paste, including the head-fi background color, was a nice touch.

Hah! Nope, no steroids here! Just been out of shape and got with a trainer that's put me on a fairly straightforward nutrition plan and a good workout routine.

Good luck CJ! Yesterday I got my body fat measured as a progress check and I've shed 5% of my body fat and have kept my weight the same. Pretty pleased with my progress in four weeks

I like the aggressive pricing without contract and since I still have a year to go on my current phone it's rather tempting.

I got the Paperwhite last week and I like it quite a bit. Lighting isn't perfect in terms of color and evenness, but overall it works as a fairly even light for the Kindle. The increased resolution and higher processor power are definitely noticable, with menu changes happening a snappier and the load time to refresh the book listings after loading a large number of books onto the device via Calibre is noticeably quicker. I think the only thing that it's missing for me are the custom screensaver and custom collections (via Calibre) I had added to my previous kindle via jailbreak. They've had progress on that end so it's only a matter of time; I think they have a jailbreak, but they're still working on the recovery...I don't like jailbreaking without recourse in the event of a failure.

Do you think you can convince him to pay $150 for a Galaxy S3 from Amazon?
