Mike... the internets is scary. I clicked on that picture. The next time I checked facebook, I had an ad for a Gators cycling jersey. I figured you'd enjoy that. **BRENT**

Good game, DP. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! **BRENT**

Logitech Ultrathin Bluetooth iPad Keyboard. This is the new one that's 100$ normally, on sale today for 39.99$ It's virtually a smart cover keyboard. http://1saleaday.com/wireless/ **BRENT**

Well, I'm on TMo, so I'm not surprised it would be the last one. **BRENT**

Ed... people have iPads and iPhones, and those are "just small/large versions of each other." Get the Note 2 already, it's a nice piece of hardware. After playing with one, I'm thinking of getting one myself, and breaking my "only stock Android" streak. I think it may actually be worth it. It's also the most proportional phone to my particular head I've ever come across. It may look like a Zach Morris Phone Redux to Raffy, but it's great for me. Watching Al mess with the S Pen was pretty nice compared to my experience with a stylus and iPad. Actually, anyone know a release date yet? **BRENT**

Awesome, Dinny!

Feeling better all ready! @ Shelly **BRENT**

Thanks guy. I'm feeling better as of now. Not sure if it was pain meds or the steroids, or a combo, but I have been able to relax for the first time in a couple days. Hope Mrs. DH gets better soon. Back pain is a PITA (lower back pain, at least). I hope it's nothing too serious. The Chicago and NYC (and Travel Team) crews know how gimpy I am these days. I don't wish that on anyone. Jim, I'm thinking you may be right re: mending process. I have a feeling this could be along the lines of nerve regeneration... just a really crappy part of nerve regeneration. I'll take a week of pain every few months for added feeling below the belt in the future hands down, though. **BRENT**

John, yep, my back, but mainly the shooting pains in my leg and foot again. The nurse knows my case and when she heard my voice, they squeezed me in as soon as they could. Luckily, after the first round of steroids and a pain pill, the pain has subsided quite a bit. Last time this happened, I tried to get in the office, but couldn't, as they were on vacation that week. My surgeon has now started his own practice, so this should be interesting. It's been raining all weekend, and the rain just really fucks with me. It usually doesn't set it off like THIS, though. I'm HOPING that it's part of the nerve regeneration process. It definitely feels like a "mixed signal" thing, as even light brushes against my leg can set off pretty intense pain, while other time, someone could whack me with a stick (or thorn bush), and I would barely feel it. **BRENT**

A buddy of mine was telling me today that Verizon is offering him 159$ for his AT&T iPhone 4 16GB. You may wanna see what the carriers will offer. That could be even easier than Gazelle/eBay, and it's possible that you could save some cash on tax, depending on how the trade is done. **BRENT**

Sorry, I read that wrong. I thought you HAD the Galaxy Nexus already. (Just got back from pharmacy, I'm a bit... out of it ) So, don't buy a Galaxy Nexus at this point. Still a good phone, but it'd be painful in 2 years. The GSIII is a very nice phone, but you'll lose out on the stock Android experience. I'm OK with the size of it, but then again, I'm OK with the Galaxy Note 2 as well. Either of those phones is going to be a fair bit larger than what you have. So there's nothing official about the Next Nexus phone yet, but that's the one I'd hold out for. Otherwise, I don't see how you wouldn't be happy with the GSIII, if you wanted something sooner. Do you have discounts through work? If it's like it used to be, some carriers would allow yearly upgrades at the 2 year price. If that's still an option, I'd definitely go through them. If you want to turn to the dark side, 32GB iPhone 5 is available for deliver on Friday. http://delivery.sprint.com/m/p/nxt/dev/wdyw.asp Check that site, enter your e-mail, and see what they can do for you. **BRENT**

Spent much of yesterday writhing in pain, and still was this morning. Doctor was able to squeeze me in today. Got some steroids and pain pills and an appointment with my surgeon for next week. I'm over this whole "pain" thing. **BRENT**

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/OSBrowseAccessoriesOnlyCategories?PHONE_ID=SPHL700KIT&INTCID=TSC:MyS:ICP:FreeBat:081912 Enter code BATTERY1 at checkout to possibly get a free extended battery for your Galaxy Nexus, Shelly, paying only S&H. If that doesn't work, you can call Tele Sales: (866) 866-7509 to try to work it out with them. Worst case, drop the 50$ for the battery, then wait for the next Nexus device. I think the GSIII may finally be good enough for me to use TouchWiz, but I still prefer stock as well. Without rooting/ROMing, that's probably your best bet for now. Hope that helps. **BRENT**

I'm hearing Canon 6D for just under 2100$ released tomorrow. Full frame in APS-C sized body. Not hearing anything about video, possibly 7D AF. **BRENT**

Oh that's nice! **BRENT**

Heh. Glad you had a good time, DP. Also, I should've said "would've", not "wouldn't". Bah. Glad you're getting to go out and play. Take some video for us. I hear it can be entertaining. **BRENT**

OK... I just opened it up to check it out. You can bloody search by INSTRUMENT! Yeah, you kids are going to love this. **BRENT**

The homepage said today was your birthday, but I don't believe it. If it were your birthday, you wouldn't gotten a bike for your birthday, but I didn't see Mindless Consumerism or the Bike Thread updated, so what's the deal? On the off chance it is your birthday, hope you had a good one. If it isn't, well, you're a mod, delete it! **BRENT**
