  1. Every Indian kids favorite snack. The ones actually sold in India taste waaaay different (better).
  2. Check out the zalman zm 1 mic. It's the mic I used when I used to play counter strike. It has a little clip thing that attaches to the headphone cable as that was the intended use. It wasn't designed to be used clipped to a shirt perhaps.
  3. Last night I used an oversized paper clip (the clamp type) to affix the Mic to my shirt. Seemed to work well in the 5 second test I did. Will try it with an hour long talk to see if the paperclip adds noise to the recording when it moves or keeps the Mic in a steady position.
  4. Freak of a game. They aren't shooting 60% from 3 again.
  5. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/smartLavPls Would this be a reasonable choice?
  6. I didn't even know he was going Out with one of them.
  7. Night night Bron Bron.
  8. I use snagit from techsmith to get record a screencapture from the surface pro with audio from the source I select (currently the zalman mic). I have tried using the built in mic in the surface but a few seconds after the recording starts the surface fan starts spinning at max rpm and that noise gets into the video. I would like to avoid adding another step to the whole process of adding the audio from the iPhone to the screen capture and then have to sync it. So looking for something I can plug in directly into the surface or something that Snagit will recognize even if it is a wireless device. Those tend to be outside my budget anyways so looking for wired solutions I guess. I'll check out that website. Thank you.
  9. Need something to use with my surface pro 4 (usb or something wireless). I also have a cheap 1 square inch usb dac that I can plug in a 1/8" Jack for headphones and mics. Purpose is to record talks, presentations, lectures etc while I present/write on the surface pro. I currently have a zalman zm1 mic from my gaming days that I am currently using but I have to hold it to my face the whole time which is unprofessional and well, after holding the mic there for ~2 to 3 hours, my arm cramps pretty bad (it doesn't have a clip that I could use to clip it to my shirt/lapel). Google search has led me to mics and receivers and Wi-Fi extenders and god knows what else. Budget is $300. I need something reliable and good. Some lecture/talks might be published so don't want microphonic cables - the zalman Mic is absolutely horrible when it comes to this. @Knuckledragger, Brent said to check with you, but if anyone else has suggestions, please share them. I was recently gifted a blue yeti microphone and it is great for desktop use. It's a fantastic mic overall but not exactly portable. Thoughts/suggestions?
  10. I think a middle school travel team would have scored more points by now. Celtics are really stinking it up this series.
  11. That was quite amazing. If only I could have a pb/j sammich right now...
  12. R. Free. Lots of documentation available. You can probably grab previously published code and change it to fit your needs as opposed to writing it from scratch. I hate using square brackets so never liked Mathematica for that reason alone. Also, back when I was required to use it, everything was too yellow...their documentation, logo, splash page etc. Hated that shade of yellow.
  13. The distortion is slightly more apparent on my desktop monitor. On my phone it looked near perfect.
  14. Fantastic images padam. Care to divulge how you managed to get the first one so parallel? A stitch is what I'm guessing but I've never been able to get the lines to go straight like you have been able to. Or did you just crop the image before things started distorting?
  15. Tonight we have skirt steak seared with yellow squash and white onions in a sweet pineapple glaze over yellow jasmine rice cooked with cardamom, saffron fennel and garlic.
  16. NSFW. Lisa. A capture from a while ago.

    This episode took me to New Orleans. Had the pleasure of listening to Doreen live a few years ago. Just a magical performance.
  18. Butter chicken. Had some white wine left over from yesterday so added that to the sauce. Not as buttery as I had hoped for but still pretty good.
  19. I was told that the only wine I should cook with is wine I would actually drink. Since I don't drink wine (or any alcohol, really), I don't know if the wine I used was good or not - I asked a friend for a suggestion. The food tasted good PS. Chicken marinating overnight for butter chicken tomorrow. Following a recipe from the same website.
  20. Coq au vin blanc (added my own twist to it with zucchini, jalapeno peppers and mushrooms...found the recipe at http://www.donalskehan.com/recipes/coq-au-vin-blanc/ Turned out wonderful despite it being my third attempt cooking with wine.

    Called out of work today from being quite sick this weekend. Didn't want to get others sick. Caught up on the last few episodes and I think it might be my favorite show of all time. I don't think Anthony Hopkins gets nearly the credit he deserves. Didn't realize Evan Rachel Wood was such a great actress. Also, what Dusty said..."what door?"
  22. Zach, that is her office setup as well currently, with a T410 so glad to hear the surface will be a smooth transition. I am eyeing the i5 with 16gb ram. Trying to keep things under $1500 if possible. Since the ram is soldered on and no way of upgrading later, I think the 16gb will be more suitable for future applications. Might even be able to run lightroom/photoshop on it without killing the machine. I don't know if there will be an appreciable difference between the i5 and i7 processors in day to day usage.
