I am talking about the Rokinon lenses.

It will only give focus confirmation if those lenses happen to have the chip. That is not standard on these lenses they are additional price add ons. I see nothing on the Nikon lenses that say they have the chip.

I have Mac Minises (4), an iMac (1), a Mac Pro (1), a MBP 15", a Macbook Air 13", an iPad 3, an iPad Mini, an iPhone, an Airport Extreme, an Airport Express, 3 AppleTV, and my old PowerMac G4 MDD in the house at the moment. Don't know if I will bother with the new Mac Pro. Mine is a couple of years old but I rarely use it as all the other computers are sufficient for most of what I do.

Some more Chattanooga Weekend shots.

More wide angle fun from Chattanooga.

The Sigma 15 f2.8 fisheye. Supposed to be sharper than the Nikon equivalent. Seems very sharp to me while pixel peeping.

I have never had Apple not give me a new replacement for stuff I broke. Laptop, iPad, batteries well after the end of warranty. I never even have AppleCare. You guys are obviously doing something wrong.

Looks good Dinny. Took the new fisheye out to test around the office.

That Olive does look really good in the Mini Ruck. I kind of like the Saffron bag as well but I am happy with my Black.

I am guessing the next episode might have some of the , etc. I wish the writer would just finish this story as I am sick of being 10+k pages in and seeing very little of the vengeance I am seeking.

Yes, you can be on Team Red but only Diabetics can be Red Riders.

Happy Birthday Ben.

The US Pro Championships are showing on NBC Sports for those that didn't watch online.

Yeah. Unfortunately BBQ was awful. Some of the worst I have ever had.

Yeah never got a chance to switch out brake pads. I really had no discomfort on the Cervelo. First Red Rider across the finish line in my route so I consider that as a win.

Done. Rained about half the time. Only issue I had was misaligned cleats so my right foot is really sore now. I am definitely going to train for the Century next time as I do not feel tired at all at the end of 52. Thanks again for everyone's support.

Thanks Chris. Hopefully it will be non-eventful.

The ultimate light weight strong checked bag. Seems to be indestructible and weighs nothing. Tumi Tegra-Lite.

It is a 56 mile course with an option to extend to 68. Probably the shorter as severe thunderstorms are supposed to be rolling in on Sunday.

^^^ Not enough bags.

Only three more days to the ride and I can't decide which bike to ride. I have been thinking Cervelo all along but the Calfee does seem more comfortable (especially on rough terrain) which might be a benefit over its weight disadvantage. Supposed to be humid and over 90 so I am trying to decide if I change out brake pads on the Calfee to put the Zipps on it and go for it or just stick with the Cervelo and the 2-3 pounds weight savings. Not really looking forward to this long ride in the hottest conditions I have ridden.

I love my C-Ruck. Straps are very comfortable and make carrying serious weight no problem. I know I could fit water bottles in the big bag but I have never seen the small one so I can't answer that.

Yes, but I have fantastic impulse control and only buy things I need.

How about you guys buy them and report back so I know if I want one.
