Rorschach's journal. May 21st. The club is dying. Dancers are swaying and turning, like condemned hanging from the gallows. Their hearts are trying to go on, but their minds and bodies are dead. It's 4 am. The club is bleeding sweat like an open wound. I don't stop dancing. I try to keep everybody going, but it feels like the night is already dead and rotting in the gutter, being feasted on by stray dogs.

I disagree. Once one has calibrated how nuts and biased K-Rock is, it's possible to subtract that quantity from his reviews and extract some meaningful information. Additionally, he's often quite an entertaining read, though seldom in the manner he intends. The Fake Ken Rockwell can be amusing as well. For serious reading, I prefer The Online Photographer, who is wonderfully articulate and very cranky. His decimation of the Leica M8 is one of my favorite reads. Sadly, the field test of the M8 in Iraq he sites appears to be offline now. Back when Mike was known as the Sunday Morning Photographer, he wrote a guide to 35mm lens focal lengths which was instrumental for me my early days of SLR shooting.

In my experience, a 35mm prime is much more useful on an APS-C sensor than 50mm. For me, my 35mm F/2 is my one lens solution.

Aye, I've done the sponge/orange peel trick for years. The only downside to that is that it takes time, and I was hoping to have a smoke today.. I did experiment with the microwave and I found that the results were ...inconclusive. For a bigger ring gauge cigar like a robusto all it succeeded in doing was softening the outer 1/8" or so. I could probably experiment further, but I don't want to wreck this stick. I'll have to look elsewhere for a cigar this afternoon. I swear I had a Cao stashed around here somewhere.

Anyone ever try "resurrecting" a dry cigar in a microwave? I've heard of people doing it, but never tried it myself. I have a nice Partagas robusto that's, ahem, a bit dry after the winter, and I'd like to try to salvage it. A guy I spoke to at a local coffee shop said the trick is to set the microwave on low power and run it for 45 seconds or so. I don't want the cigar to combust from over-nuking. I'm going to remove the (foil) label before I attempt this. Any head casers ever try this?

FWIW, frothing Nikon fanboy and general purpose nutjob Ken Rockwell loves the 18-200 VR.

Looking at my S2 Audio balanced Senn cables there is NO WAI they would fit on that amp as pictured, nevermind with even wider spacing.
