Wasn't today, but this weekend I was at a Game Stop store. Andrew has had $75 of gift card/reward $ accumulated, but he's not interested in any games right now. I traded some of it for iTunes $, which he DID want, and went to the nearest store. They used to sell iPods, and I'm getting a nice radio/dock off Craigslist tomorrow, so thought I'd maybe use the $ towards a higher capacity player. Got there, they don't sell them anymore. So thinking to look for a nice headset for chats. As I walked through, I basically said "screw this" and looked around the store. Cued up in line was a kid, maybe 10 years old, with some cash in hand. I asked him what he was getting and he told me the game. I gave him $50 worth of credit and wished him Merry Xmas. I then gave the last $25 to an older woman who just got in line to get a game for he grandson. Seeing both their smiles felt a hell of a lot better than a headset.

We should start a new meme by adding that picture of Ken into the background of all our photos.

I got quotes back from PCBNET. Basically, we can get per board cost to $25 US plus shipping to each participant if we can get the number up to at least 15. This is with 2mm thick, 3oz copper board. I will start another thread to gauge interest in a day or two. Before I do that we first need to decide if to include PSU board in the GB and, if so, which PSU to use. By looking at the board, we need regulated +/- 340VDC and - 20VDC. I am thinking the GoldenReference HV board with one of the LV configured for - 20VDC is a possible option. What are your thoughts?

That's minor?

Extended Christmas best Christmas. There was a minor flurry of last-minute watch buying and selling here too. Resulting in a decent deal on a Lange Saxonia manual. Very clean and classic from ze Chermans, I think.

Very nice Marc! Lots of respect for GS. The Mrs. has been wanting a classic dress two-hander and doesn't love Calatravas, so I found her an older VC ultra thin (33093/3) for Christmas that I think will do the job.

Well, the larger Grand Seiko limited JDM antimagnetic which has the 9S65, to go with the smaller HEQ version: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/grand-seiko-sbgr077-sbgr079-magnetic-resistant-watches-hands/
