Salt Peanuts

Hope it's nothing serious, Grahame. What's with the rash of bodily injuries around here of late?

It's been years since I've bought any computer components (not including RAM or hard drive/SSD) but I see the packaging still look just as ridiculous as I remember.

Go Sox! I do wish they start these games earlier on week days, though.

x2. But I'm confused - I don't think that'll cut anything will it?

Yeah, I've read that as well, though from what I gathered, it seems to be mostly with D800/E. Oh, and no issues with my copy on my D600. The caveat being I've only had the lens for less than a week.

FWIW, D610 DX crop-mode is 10.5mp. And yes, do get the Sigma 35/1.4.

And after you grab yourself a FX body, get that purrty Sigma 35/1.4. Oh, and a 135DC to replace your 85/1.8g.

Unfortunately, we won't know until D610 start reaching consumers. Nikon never really acknowledged that there were any problems with D600 (except for that non-committal release a bit back) and so they couldn't say they fixed those problems by releasing D610. You should wait and grab the D4 successor or the mythical D400, if it ever comes out.

I guess I spoke too soon.

I've definitely lucked out this year so far. My receivers, except for Julio Jones, are inconsistent mess so we'll see how long my luck will keep up.

Damn, Jacob. I hope it's just a temporary condition and your doctor gives you something nice for it.

x3.

Congrats, Vicki and he really is a cute dog. Have you picked his name yet?

As been rumored for a while, Nikon released D610. Of course, somewhat predictably, they don't actual address why they've released a replacement for D600 so soon - sensor dust/debris/oil.

With raining most of day, had a nice lazy day staying home. Of course, just to keep things interesting, I broke a drinking glass, then stepped on a small broken piece of it.

I, for one, am glad you didn't start Romo over Vick since that at least gives me a shot. Of course, watch Julio Jones sit out tomorrow night.

Completely forgot to adjust my lineup today. At least I don't have any bye week players in the lineup.

Reks, does the Golden Master version of Mavericks perform slower than ML on your MBP?

For a second there, I'd thought Mavericks had been released to the general public. In any case, does it just not run as well on your MBP?

The upgrade is also free if you bought it through the App Store.

This.

I do, bu then again, I'm weird. As for the Remote app orientation, I think it may not be a bug since it's been like that from iOS 7 beta.

As a former Ohioan, it was sad to see both Indians and Reds get eliminated. Not to mention I think it would have been interesting to see Francona back in Fenway for a series.

That really sounds unpleasant, Dan. I hope it gets better quickly.

This. I had somehow completely missed the news of his passing.
