I'd be looking for a SV650 for the Cayman, much less pain if/when something happens to it.

This.

Color me jealous.

The problem is that to get a reasonable amount of storage it's still prohibitively expensive for someone trying to shop the way that Ian is. The cheapest stock SSD option (128GB) is a $315 add and I don't think he wants to be tearing into his virgin macbook and swaping out the HD himself which would only save about $100 based on the last time I shopped SSDs.

The wallpaper in our bathroom was so thick that we had use a wallpaper perforation tool, otherwise the steamer had no effect. I'd suggest looking into one, it made a night and day difference for us. Otherwise we rented a steamer for a day to do the one room and also used a chemical to help soften the adhesive backing. I'm glad it was the only room in the house with paper.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Look for the "prototyers wanted" thread for the torpedo.

Rumor has it that if you call AT&T now and threaten (nicely) to cancel/leave that they'll offer you an unlimited data plan in an effort at customer retention. I heard this from a reliable source (tech journalist's podcast) but obviously have no direct experience to relate.

As usual, I think that's a pretty cool thing that Pete's got cooked up and hits a scary low price point ($200 + chassis). If I wasn't bent on retirement I'd build one just for kicks but the wife would kill me and I've got no place for it.

http://www.toro.com/home/snowthrowers/electric/powershovel.html I gave it a quick test yesterday and was pretty impressed for ~$100. I'll give it a thorough thrashing tomorrow clearing the deck before the 4 to 6" of snow/slush/ice gets here tomorrow night. There's a short video at the link above which is pretty accurate. One important thing to note is that it'll only throw snow straight out of the shoot which does limit/dictate how you use it.

Congrats on the new gig, Todd. Sorry about the news CJ.

Well, I know at least one poster no longer posting here.

If marc doesn't have 1 I do.

Toro electric power shovel to help clear the 2' of snow off my deck.

If you need/want a pair let me know, I've had some sitting around for a while now that have probably been used less than a half-dozen times.

http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Toemorrow-Mens-Sneaker/dp/B000WBK1WE I got them from a discount hiking/camping site for $35.

Me too. I'd love to try replacing my hackintosh with something like this.

Allegedly not very much, they're often compared to the vibram 5 fingers shoes or sandals.

I don't rock your average snow blower. But yes, it does have an upper limit of about 16". I went out anyway and the snow has already tapered off so the driveway is pretty clear, for now.

I needed some around-the-office shoes and these seemed like a fun alternative to traditional shoes. Bonus points for it being pre-boo approved, it's a vegan friendly shoe.

Just got ready to go blow the 12" or so of snow off the driveway since it hadn't snowed since about 2pm. I got downstairs and it started snowing, hard. Eff me.

I have yet to find this to be an issue and I much prefer a reliable network to one that'll allow me to drop multiple services at the same time.

Happy Birthday!

We got about 8" yesterday (round 1) so I cleared the driveway last night when I got home. It's snowing at a pretty good clip again now and projected to snow all day like this and perhaps get even heavier. I'll be surprised if we get more than a foot today but that on top of the 3' or so we've gotten in the last few weeks will be pretty brutal to deal with. I'm just hoping we avoid the epic winds that others are describing.

I would crack every faucet you can, any closed pipe will have very little circulation otherwise. Not knowing anything about how your house is plumbed leaves me with not much to offer in the way of better advice, sorry.
