Dusty Chalk

Scratch that, I didn't lose it -- he just didn't understand that I had commited to buying it on Friday, rather than "sleeping on" the decision. Oh, and it's not a steam. It's closer to a flavored porter or a stout or maybe even a brown. Steam is closer to an ale. I think -- someone with more knowledge about beer can correct me, please. EDIT: You know what, just scratch that, looks like I got it completely wrong -- the Christmas brew is an ale according to their website, and the steam is a lager according to wikipedia. So just...nevermind.

Looks like I lost the Aleph P.

Wow, someone who doesn't need the welcome PM.

Give Gojira a try -- that's probably the most intelligible guttural screaming short of the actual cookie monster. For me, it's about the music. Cookie monster vocals suck, plain and simple -- some more than others. But they suck. It's not singing. I don't even think there is an analogy to other instruments -- hitting the lowest notes on the piano exclusively? Playing an open chord on a guitar or other stringed instrument? Basically, it's trying your damnedest to try to hit an octave lower harmonically than you are normally capable of. So for me, the music has to be good enough for me to listen to it anyway. Which is one of the reasons I enjoyed Nightingale so much -- clean vocals are so refreshing after so much of that crap.

Never mind, just received this article from B&H. Seems the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is perfect for what I want. Anyone have any opinions on the Casio Exilim EX-FH20?

Too much "road noise".

Leather is way too reflective.

Well, it's unisex, since it's listed under both: link EDIT: Also, google shopping About half of them will list them as men's, but I believe it's the exact same watch, since, when I complained to them via email about women having some cool colors that men didn't have access to, including the one I listed as "one I was going to get" and the purple one, they responded by adding those watches to the men's side. What's cool about Nixon is that they run the gamut from traditional/conservative to wild/crazy. Look around, you may find something else you like. Nixon Women's Watches. They are in order by decreasing price -- the ones towards the top of the page are typically the most expensive.

Oh, c'mon, javascript isn't that bad.

So I really like the look of slow motion (and am thinking that with Bobby, it's going to be necessary). What's the best bang-for-the-buck camera that I want? Most of the ones that do 60fps seem to be just less than what I want to do, and 120fps seems to be enough, although I could probably be convinced one way or the other -- my research kind of sucks in this realm. Any additional thoughts would be welcome. Is it just fps that I'm worried about, or are there other parameters? I have to admit to beeing full newb on this.

"Piqued". And: what kind of look would you like? You picked on the all black one to say something, so I thought, "crazy". How about bling: Or crystal bling: Or all white: Or mostly black: Or all black: Or (one I'm getting, so technically it's unisex):

Yeah, but it sucks.

Technically it's not idiocy to buy it the one time it's on sale.

Yes, you had to make that clarification. And yes, hawt, it is. I was just complaining last Saturday that they don't make black skeletons -- I know it's technically not a black skeleton, but it's about two orders of magnitude closer than I thought I'd ever get.

Where are you guys going to get an idea about the colors (besides the pictures being posted in this thread)? Is there a particular thread on head-fi?

Actually, Nixon makes cooler watches for women than they do for men. But Nixon hardly ever goes on sale -- at least, not the ones I'm interested in. The Spree: If I were more flamboyant, I'd wear women's watches. But yeah, Invicta does seem targeted at men, mostly.

And on a less serious note:

Dude, it will go so well with pretty much everything Dusty. Dusty was "headed in that direction" two years ago, he is now well on his way.

The problem is, it's an interaction thing, so each chair is going to sound different in your room. You're just going to have to buy a few (not more than one or two at a time, presumably) and try them. The most important part (besides comfort, of course) is the material combination closest to the head/ears. I would completely discount anything hard (like solid wood). Cloth materials and suede would be good, but they may make sounds boomier than they were originally. I would also seriously consider something with no or minimal head support.

Crack, I say.

"As the fact that I've emailed you twice about it already, it does indeed make me uncomfortable." on him And yes, I understand all that about handmade -- it's not like you want to return them, you just want to fix it, and you're even implying that you'd be willing to do the work...

Dusty want bad. Dusty just spent $700, so Dusty cannot has right now, but Dusty will be obtaining as soon as Dusty has $354 disposable income. Thing of beauty.

Standard Deviation calculations.

Ah. I don't know -- I'm not looking into getting into all the slapping and plucking. I just love a good bass line -- it doesn't have to be anything fancy (although my jaw does, indeed, drop, when I hear someone like the Ox play "The Real Me") -- listen to, for example, "Bang and Blame" from REM. Really nice understated bassline on that one. (I'm not saying it's easy to play -- especially with the groove he's got going on, but it doesn't require the technical virtuosity that for instance Justin and I discussed in that other thread -- it's more of the other kind -- the expressive virtuosity that Justin described.) The only thing hard about the one I'm thinking of is this one two-note "chord" (is it still called a chord when it's only two notes?) right towards the end of this one part.
