THQ is in a lot of financial trouble, so they've been running all sorts of promotions. Right now they've teamed up with HIB for the Humble THQ Bundle. Pay what you want for a bunch of recent-ish AAA games that all require Steam and are Windows-only. Soundtracks included. NB: This is also a test to see if I can post. Dusty is right, this white theme is BLINDING.

Salty!

iTunes 11: so far I hate it.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a FADA radio behind him. “Oddball” Galaxy Contains the Biggest Black Hole Yet

This is supposedly from the 24/96 DVD version of the 2012 remaster of Blue Lines. There's also a 24/96 web download, but I have not seen any waveforms of it yet. Based on the above two examples, I'm not very optimistic.

How are Nikon bodies with AF beams? My ancient 30D (and even more ancient 5D) hunt horribly in bad lighting, but I use my 580EX speedlite's AF-assist beam virtually all the time. In Canon-speak that means turning on the flash but disabling it from firing. I'm sure there's a similar arrangement for a Nikon. Of course this entails buying a speedlite, but eventually every photographer needs one of them anyway.

Bizzarro super-widescreen monitor, and ...and RSA amp?

No, I've never been to California. I have a number of friends who live out there, but they've all but given up on getting me to visit them.

An entire Chinese keyboard with over 2000 symbols. WAT.

I haven't posted any of my own photos in this thread in bloody ages. I've mentioned on several occasions that I bought and IR-modified 5D. Last week I finally took it out and took some landscape shots. EF 50mm F/1.4 @ F/2, 1/100, ISO 100. EF 17-40L @ 36 mm, 1/60, F/5.6, ISO 100. EF 17-40L @ 26 mm 1/60, F/5.6, ISO 100. EF 17-40L @ 17 mm, 1/100, F/6.3, ISO 100. In late september I worked a party where there was a fire spinning troupe. I spend 2 hours taking photos of them ...and while I was doing that, someone stole my DJ headphones out of my bag. 35mm F/2 @ F/18, 0.8 seconds, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/11, 2.5 sec, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/10, 3.2 sec, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/11, 3.2 sec, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/10, 2 sec, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/10, 3.2 sec, ISO 100. EF 35mm @ F/13, 3.2 sec, ISO 100.
