Am I the only one could care less about the (current) Apple Watch? The big killer for me is the battery life. I have a pebble that I don't wear because it needs to be charged about every five days. I guess if one gets into the bedtime routine, the less than a days worth of charge won't be that bad. Would have to wear something else for my Ibiza all nighters. IMHO the thing is just ugly. Guess I'm not a big fan of a square watch. Ugly square watch. With the only decent looking one being $1K+. No thanks. Now the LG Watch Urbane is something I could get into. Who knows about the battery life (probably shitty) but at least is isn't a boring ugly square. And the price is about right for something that one can throw away next year when V2.0 comes out. What? It doesn't work with my iPhone? FML, when can I get an Apple Watch?

Always liked this one. Then I saw the video.

Happy Birthday!!!

Definitely no fun. Hope you get relief soon.

That's the part holding me back, way better camera than I deserve and probably need. And the fact that being a piece of technology, it's going to be outdated a year after purchase. Then again I have held out this long with my D80.

Makes sense. I would want the 24-70 on the D750 You'er not making this any easier

So I picked up the D7200 and a Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4. I really want a fast almost every situation lens. Wondering if a fixed 2.8 17-50 or 24-70 would be better? Or take them back and get the D750 and the Nikon 24-70 2.8? Team overkill.

Deciding what to get is killing me. Starting to think I should stick with Nikon and invest more in FX lenses. Then that leaves me with getting a D750 or D7200, is the full frame sensor worth almost twice the price for a hobbyist that likes taking pictures of his kids and beer?

No, it's $19.95 and they require me to download at least 2tb of pirated Bang Bros each month or they double the price. Weird.

Decent speed for the way out Austin 'burbs.

Happy Birthday!!!

I am thinking of replacing my old Nikon D80 with a Samsung NX1 and the 16-50 f/2-2.8 ED OIS lens. For the price the NX1 looks pretty hard to beat and from what I have read Samsung plans to keep it up to date for a while with firmware upgrades. Any suggestions before I pull the trigger? Only negative that I can see is the only fully functionally lenses available are Samsung lenses.

Happy Birthday!!!!

If you make it down by 6pm we can put birthday candles in it for you.

Happy birthday DOTU!

Cookin' away.

Brisket prepped.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy birthday Fitz! Like a friend just told me, 40 is now the new late 30s.

My local PX has a Omega 2225.80.00 Seamaster that was a special order and returned. Bracelet is small and would need some links. PX is a authorized dealer and it has the warranty card. They are asking $2800 and I might be able to talk them down a bit. Sound like a decent deal or a pass? What do links cost?

I have never seen any sort of discharge from a lithium battery or heard of any. They are the primary type of battery used in military equipment from crypto memory, to gps, to flashlights.Think harsh environments with continual vibration and large temperature swings. More likely paint or metal dust from the contacts. When in doubt toss and replace.

Happy Birthday Nate!!!
