I should clarify, it's the tip of the work pens that are fat. Like 1.2mm ballpoint fat. While I can't write well with fine or extra-fine point pens this is the other end of the spectrum and equally as useless (to me). I also grabbed some .7mm uni-ball jet stream pens.

I can now, in an extremely limited fashion, contribute to this thread. For the last few weeks the pens that work supplies have been driving me nuts. They're fat, write like shit and are just plain frustrating. But I wasn't about to use a fountain pen. So I did a bit of research and yesterday a Retro 1951 Tornado in stainless steel finish arrived. It both looks and writes excellently.

^^^ This.

My balls hurt just watching that, Greg. Crazy....

^^^ I'd listen to this guy.

I think you can also just put a divider off the pro bias.

Happy birthday to my west coast lawyer. May your day be filled with hops and no headaches.

The, eh, good news is that all of the hosts' contracts expire at the same time so presumably, if one is sacked, they can all move on together if they chose to do so.

Wuhoo @ Dave!! I always enjoyed the Opus.

This plus I'd do everything that I could to get a 2-stage model. It'll throw much better in both light and heavy snow. I can live with a single-stage because the motor behind it is my tractor but even with that at times this year I had to blow snow twice to actually get it off the driveway.

Poor CJ.

But it's newegg so you might get something entirely different, like a TV stand or potted plant or knitting needles.

Put me in the "not a fan of the yellow" camp and with your recently acquired collection Jacob, I'm surprised you're still shopping.

I'm with Brent, that last one is pretty epic.

You'll want something pretty substantial to clear that much space, Haj. I was hoping it was on the smallish side and you could get by with an electric one and avoid the hassle of gas-powered lawn instruments. In the good news portion of the day the near 50 degree temps knocked out most of the snow that we got yesterday and the driveway is mostly clear.

How much driveway do you have, Haj?

This.

Well, what was supposed to be rain most of the weekend was correctly predicted yesterday and a big pile of shit today. It was snowing and 34ish all morning so nothing was stick but around noon it dropped a few degrees and we've now got a couple of inches of fresh, heavy snow and it's still going. Shit cock balls I've had enough of this.

Happy birthday!

Here's what I found, Shelly. Seems pretty thorough and reasonable. http://cocktails.about.com/od/stockyourbar/f/liquor_storage.htm

Cheers to this.

No, I wouldn't. I am not a fan of wireless mices. They tend to be tiny and make my bear-paw like hands hurt.

Hard to imagine them not looking like a bunch of reactionary twats if Tymon is telling the truth. On the plus side they've restocked the internet rage machine for at least a few weeks. I cannot fathom the gnashing of teeth and hammering of keyboards world-wide over the last few days.

I hadn't read about the 12" rMB yet but just skimmed a review and took a quick look at Apple's site and the one-port didn't strike me as a problem until I read that it's also the charging port. I wonder if a dock, like the one that Dan mentioned, will support fast charging or if there will be issue charging via a dock while say, using an external mouse (which I always do when I'm not using the laptop on my lap)?

I'll just add that the 13" rMBP has exceeded my expectations so far.
