That noise at the end of the above clip is from this video: Probably a repost, but the sadist in me doesn't mind seeing it again

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.

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.
