Grrrrr... I've played Peggle on and off for years. That game is bloody addictive. It's better on PC than Android (where I've played it in the recent past.) One of my favorite things? They have a color-blind mode. That is HUGE for someone like me (before I found it, I was yelling at my screen a lot.) Anyways... bought. **BRENT**

Took Xavier to see Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus today, we both took a ton of pictures. Bloody low-light, though, so about half an hour in I got "daddy, and you make the pictures be not blurry?" 50 f/1.4 to the rescue! Hope they turn out. I had to swap to some cheap 70-300. I hope those turn out too. Finished the night up with a trip for 2 to our favorite Mexican joint where we had an awesome server and a great meal. This, on top of having a blast yesterday, made this one of the best weekends I've had in the past year. (Last weekend in Tampa wasn't bad either.) Now, to catch up on sleep. **BRENT**

The 1/8" Connector goes into a box, the box has a wire with a USB plug. The USB plug goes into an adapter into the 5 pin STAXes connection. **BRENT**

SteelSeries Siberia V2 USB gaming headphones on Ebay for 40$ shipped. This is from the 1saleaday deal last week, and I picked up a pair at 45$ shipped. Normally 120$. Retractable mic, decently comfortable, sound decent for gaming, and OK-enough for music in a pinch, as long as you like recessed vocals. **BRENT**

Took the kids to meet my mom at the campsite and went fishing. Well, THEY went fishing. The kids each caught their first fish, and I spent my time baiting hooks, untangling, swapping hooks, taking pictures, de-hooking and releasing fish, etc. I'm worn out, but everyone had a blast. **BRENT**

Really glad to see the RAM bump. I don't think the processor was lacking in the 2 at all, so no worries there. I really can't wait to get my hands on that screen, though. Shipping in 2-3 weeks now on Apple's site, so it looks like it may be a little while longer before I get one. Anyone have any idea when MacMall/Amazon/some place that doesn't charge almost 10% sales tax will have them for sale? **BRENT**

Free Metal sampler on Amazon. **BRENT**

Ahhh... didn't know about that, but mainstream consumer wise, I recall there being a little chatter about SB. I'm pretty happy with SB, and I just have an i3. **BRENT**

Honestly, is this grawk during the mustache phase? **BRENT**

Dan... didn't Apple put out Sandy Bridge machines a month or two before anyone else did with the last MBP, I think it was? **BRENT**

I'm seriously considering cutting the bike budget by a LOT, and going with an iPad New. I'm wondering if a 16gig Wifi with a nice folio would go for say, 200$? That, or let the kids use/share it. My mom doesn't have a computer, maybe I could talk her into getting a basic cable internet package and introduce to her the wide world of the internets. That screen is just SICK! Seriously. I figured they'd keep it the same price, but I was kinda surprised they did. I'm thinking how nice it will be to do something like Air Display or Splashtop now. Did anyone confirm how much RAM is in it yet? It's gotta be a gig, right? 756? **BRENT**

I went out to a demo day for Giant bikes. I rode a couple hardtail 29ers out on a trail. First time I've been on a trail in years, but I loved it, and I'm not THAT sore (yet.) Narrowed it down to a few bikes I can afford, and a handful of bikes I can't. Stupid $3500 carbon fiber bikes. Grrrrr... (Yes, I've already complained about that in the bike thread, but it's just THAT frustrating. No way I can justify a bike that's 40% more than my car). Oh... I also had a sub 10-year-old kid drop me on a trail on this first time out. But I got to ride behind his mom (who ran in a 60+ mile off-road race yesterday.) Better genes, we'll say. **BRENT**

I can't believe he's up this early... and not even on a school day! **BRENT**

Glad you were able to get another flight, CJ. Hopefully it'll work out for you this time. **BRENT**

Gif my buddy made of the storms in the area today. Tornado passed at the entrance of his subdivision... luckily, he's towards the back. **BRENT**

I just bought Air Display by Avatron, a secondary display app for $9.99. Seems to work pretty well with stuff like Spotify or iTunes... it seems to be a piece of crap with HC chat/web pages in general (iPad 1, maybe iPad 2/3/HD/etc will work better.) You can enable touch on it which seems to work pretty well. The app works over wifi, and it seems now you can do an ad-hoc connection if need be. I had a hangup with screen rotation (Windows + iPad, though you can do quite a few different combinations between desktop and mobile platforms), but with a little messing around with it, and trying to lock the screen rotation, it seems to work rather well. I have some remote desktop apps, but maybe I'll use this one a little more. **BRENT**

5D MkIII, various L primes. Fixed. **BRENT**
