"Haterade" implies "hating" which is slang for being jealous. In other words, I am envious of your new Mac Mini purchase.

Pew Pew Pew!

w00t!

Excise Tax on my Subaru, and a dump sticker (which has tripled in price since 2001).

x2, I noticed this yesterday and forgot to mention it. Even when I post the link in the advanced editor, the embedding doesn't work.

I second the LowePro recommendation. I use one of their ginormous backpacks, as well as several lens cases.

I've had Red, Black, Blue and Gold (Centenary?) version, and I didn't like any of them. They're all blends. IIRC, Red and Black have an indeterminate amount of neutral grain spirits in them. Blue and Gold consist completely of single malts. The end result is so chaotic it's hard to identify any one flavor. Blue is bad in this manner and Gold even worse. I think the only blend I liked less was the truly awful Chivas Century of Malts, which is made up of 100 malts. I readily admit I consume the products of Islay and Skye, and not much else so I am more than a little biased on this subject.

. o O Is that Johnny Walker Black? Yuck. The whiskey is better in my life, and I have are Quads.

HRBUD? I'll bet it will have great synergy with Dom.

This here is some impressive strobist work. A quick peek at the exposure info explains a lot. 1 second exposure @ F/13, ISO400. That means the photographer had some wiggle room to trigger the gun and the strobe, yet didn't have to worry about ambient light making the pellet appear blurred. What I surmise he did was trigger the gun and strobe simultaneously, and had a digital delay actually fire the strobe X milliseconds later. Knowing the FPS of the pellet and how far it had to travel to pass the razor, it would be reasonably easy to compute. Getting a shot like this actually work is a whole nother matter. My hat's off to him.

I'll echo the faster and zero timeouts comments. Yay tkam!
