Nice 009 shot. Also great framing on the Grand Central shots. And Peter as always... Guys any words of wisdom if looking for an inexpensive Nikon 40, 50 or 60mm fixed general lens? Was going to pick up another 50mm f/1.8D (which was lost on last shoot), then of course the 50mm f/1.8G came up in comparisons, and now wondering of occasional macro use with 40mm f/2.8G. This is for mostly portrait stuff on a D70. Kid on the way and all that. Have a zoom, but prefer fixed most of the time.

Tom Waits vinyl deal over at Pop Market. BAD AS ME is Tom Waits’ first studio album of all new music in seven years. This pivotal work refines the music that has come before and signals a new direction. Waits, in possibly the finest voice of his career and at the height of his songwriting powers, worked with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan. Pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, includes bonus CD and 12-page book of lyrics & photos. MULE VARIATIONS: Not much else can be said about this Grammy-winning album from 1999 other than this is Tom Waits at his best and offers the most complete picture of Tom Waits of any of his albums. Edgy stomps, humor and experimentation are interspersed with some of the most beautiful and personal songs he’s ever written. NIGHTHAWKS AT THE DINER is a 1975 double album that was recorded live in Record Plant Studios, in front of a small invited audience. This gives the record an intimate feeling as Waits spends time telling stories, jokes and explaining the stories behind his songs through seven separate introductions.

A local audio shop has them on Target Hi-Fi (not the discount store) HR-60 or HR-70 stands. Seems perfect and available online all over.

Quiet Sunday morning with Wilco.

Certainly hope everyone heals well and feels better soon. Should we start a HC Segway thread just in case?

Guys our entire team is falling apart. What's up? .

I've been hovering around the buy button for an hour. Image quality is the concern.

I have a Airport Extreme, SBTouch and a few other things plugged into a Uverse modem (now post-Uverse use). The Airport Extreme is used for wireless to extend through Airport Expresses. Otherwise the Uverse wireless would have worked. You'll likely safe either way Al.

Damn, that cleaner looks more sophisticated than Skywalkers targeting system (pre-Force). And looks better than most tables.

James Brazill Shiraz 2008. Do we have any good Catholic girls in the house?

That's great! Is that Thurston's handiwork? I wonder what he'd do to one now that he's in the middle of splitting with Ms. Gordon? On sound I'd predict depressing. Please don't forget to tip your waitress.

Moar rock-ish vinyl. Both Wilco sale from a bit back and a YLT came in today.

Speaking of the passage of time... ‘Cassette tape’ kicked out of Oxford English Dictionary http://ow.ly/1yOxgf

I don't know if I trust that article. The recommended reads involve Steven Seagal, a drunken moose, and "awkward breast squeezes."

Happy Birthday climbing.

Synth fans, Moogs universal Filtatron just dropped from $8 to .99 for a bit. May want to grab. So far my cat hates it.
