http://www.expansys-usa.com/sony-z-ultra-google-play-edition-unlocked-lte-16gb-black-263504/ Just bought the Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition from expansys for $335. Definitely a niche device, here is a quick list of pros/cons after owning the device for <24 hours: PROS: 6.4" screen, wonderful display, easy on the eyes. Top notch fit and finish, the phone is all glass and metal. Very clear call volume, even with people who I previous thought just had shitty phones. This is relative to the Nexus 5 call volume, my previous phone. Everything is super fast, as really all phones should be these days. Micro SD slot can hold a 64gb card. Phone is water resistant, if you are in to that Power input is at the top left corner of the phone, instead of the bottom. I like this for some reason. Standby/power switch is on the middle right of the phone, and is a round, silver metal button. Much better to put the switch here instead of the top right on a phone this size. Volume rocker is right below the power switch. Remarkably thin for a phone of this size GPE so you will always get the latest android update (running 4.4.4 right now) CONS: The phone is enormous. Fits fine in dress slacks and shorts pockets, but I imagine it won't work with jeans. All glass/metal design and the phones thinness could make it very easy to drop. Little flaps over all the inputs due to the water resistant nature of the phone, except the headphone jack which is somehow still water resistant A bit hefty weight wise, but this also adds to the solid feel of the phone. Your significant other and friends will make fun of you and your enormous phone. But they are just jealous. Camera doesn't have flash, but flash always ruins pictures for me anyway. Haven't had the opportunity to test the camera so I can't comment on overall quality.

I've been playing with a Lytro I picked up on indefinite loan from a buddy. I still can't figure out how to embed these things, so for now, a link to my Lytro page for some yoyo pix. I need to mess around with this a good bit more, but could be interesting. https://pictures.lytro.com/MexicanDragon **BRENT**

Two FB videos, not on YT. Both are worth watching in their entirety. The first is the second is https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=721581861224059 EDIT the second one is on YT, if one knows how to search:

A real burger at Jeffrey's.

IE needs to get their shit together with CSS3

Which speaks a lot of how they perform compared to modern standards

This image sums up this meet. Not kidding. We were all listening to Felipe's K1000, amazed by how good it sounded and then realized that it was a 128Kbps MP3 playing.

Fresh cherries were available in Michigan, so I just pitted a pound and put them up for cocktail cherries. I will use these almost exclusively in Manhattans, so they are soaking in a simple syrup made with water and Turbinado sugar, to which was added 3/4 cup of Rittenhouse 100 rye and 1/4 cup Antica Carpano sweet vermouth. They are now cooling on the stove and will be jarred and refrigerated for sampling tomorrow night.
