  1. When we bought our last car TruCar saved me at least 10% getting 3 dealers in a price war.
  2. Yesterday I was working on my 13 year old laptop and I apparently put put it down too hard and the file system corrupted. It is finally time to let this one go. I am about to do a low level erase with a Samsung hard disk utility. I had some software on it that does network license checking so I hope that the developer is cool and transfers the license or that would suck.
  3. Had never heard of the DX90. Seems pretty interesting to me considering I still have a Creative Zen Vision M player.
  4. I was thinking the same thing Ric but I see that there is going to be a 60 day warranty that seems like would address my concerns. Probably still waiting until it's in production but $100 is a significant discount. Also note that you would get a 20% discount as a previous owner
  5. Lusting after the new Lytro Illum. I am really tempted to join the pre-order.
  6. The wheel pasta was for the kids though they ended up falling asleep before dinner. Was planning cooking it for Easter but I wanted to ride tomorrow afternoon so I cooked it today instead. Second time cooking this and it has turned out great both times. Super easy. The au jus turned out better this time though.
  7. Made prime rib for us and a few friends. Turned out great.
  8. Jeff, I was interested looked around and it may still suck but Yelp and others say it is a solid store.
  9. hmm. I just checked and I've got DOCIS3.0 modems at both homes. Both are double play too.... I may give that a try. It never seems though that my connection to them is the bottleneck, it's usually somewhere else on the internets...
  10. You can get nice resamplers (eg. SoX, or Secret Rabid Code SRC) for Foobar. Also you will likely want to get a resampler that will do the dithering too.
  11. Picked up my Calfee from the store today after they installed the new fork. Calfee did an absolutely great job and it matches the finish exactly. One less thing to worry about in the long term. I'm looking forward to riding it on the weekend. I was supposed to make it out riding from work today and it actually looks like work would have co-operated but I worked yesterday evenging and forgot to get everything ready so no biking for me other than on my DeskCycle
  12. Happy birthday!
  13. Ben and I had a great ride in the Arlington hills. It was a good time http://app.strava.com/activities/127684559 So weird how all of get different elevations and lengths. Oh well.
  14. Watching Tour of Flanders. Steephill.tv FTW.
  15. A lot more information here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2593236/Lamborghini-Aventador-worth-300-000-speed-215mph-wrecked.html
  16. Happy Birthday!
  17. Cool. I have never felt the need for polarized lenses on my cycling glasses. I look at too many different LCDs.
  18. Weather predicted for tomorrow is rain and more rain.... FML
  19. Had not planned a route really, was going to see what the interest level was but now I'm thinking I'll maybe try out going down to Mason Neck park or something. I apparently just need my CAC to ride through Ft. Belvoir to get down that direction.
  20. Bummer Ben but have a good trip.
  21. Anyone up for an afternoon ride for 2-4 hours on Sunday afternoon starting around 1300-1330? Would be starting from my place in Alexandria
  22. Got word from Calfee that my replacement Enve 2.0 fork with matching paint job is complete and ready to ship. Took a while but they did me a solid on the price and it's not like I don't have a current fork. Not sure the lawyer tabs were worth what it will cost me but I guess it's worth it if it gives me peace of mind. Now I just have to make it out riding once and a while. Maybe this weekend....
  23. Nice Ben! I am going to be the unfit one in June that is for sure.
