The cabinet work on those is dead sexy. They'd look at home next to late period Victorian furnishings, or even early Arts & Crafts. I have the perfect dresser to go with them. I dunno if they'd be of interest to you, but this guy makes cables terminated for McIntosh amps. I don't have any experience with his speaker cables, but I have a number of his ICs and a headphone extension cable. He's got a pair listed here right now. I can't say much for the red, but I know he offers a combination of colors and sleeves.

Look at the hot chicks!

In the price range where you're looking (sub-$1000 dSLRS), I would focus on Nikon. Canons don't start making sense until you're in a higher price bracket. Also, Canon's 18-55mm kit lens sucks. Unless you opt for the more expensive 17-85mm IS kit lens, it's better to buy body only. What makes the Canon EOS line appealing is their lenses. If you have plans to buy a lot of glass in the future, Canon is the obvious choice. Especially if you like fast primes (24 F/1.4, 35 F/1.4, 85 F/1.2, 135 F/2 etc) and quality zooms (pretty much all of the L zoom series). Knowing what I know now, and were I in the market for a dSLR, I'd be looking for a heavily discounted Canon 5D (mk I). For most people, I'd suggest a D90 or D60. Be forewarned, the D80's light meter has a mind of its own. It's infamous for overexposing in most situations, and underexposing when you least expect it. That said, it's a nice camera if you don't mind continually chimping (looking at the LCD) to check your last shot. My friend Archie [photos NSFW] has one and loves it. He generally shoots in a controlled environment, so exposure issues aren't a problem for him. If you look, Adorama often has deals where they include two lenses with Nikon bodies. Archie spent a long time on the phone with them, and got the D80, the 18-55mm VR and the 50-<mumble>mm VR in a package deal. They might be less willing to offer a similar deal with the D90, as it's a much newer body.

Sheep In LED Clothing - WTF!?! at Kontraband

Curry sauce.

Now that the snow's largely gone, I can see my yard again, and all the debris left behind by last falls house renovations. I filled up five contractor bags from one pile, that didn't look that big when I started. There's more to do, but it was getting too dark to work. Just now I replaced the bulb in the light/blower above the shower in the upstairs bathroom. That proved to be a monumental pain in the ass. I've love to have a ...chat with the engineers at NuTune. Next I am going to call the potential buyer for some of my larger intelligent lights. Yesterday was (A) his birthday and ( St. Paddy's day, so I'm hopinh he's not too hung over.
