Additions to the video setup: Blackmagic Intensity Pro card and Phillips 19" HDTV for output monitoring. Haven't color-corrected the TV yet. Was a little bummed that the Intensity only sends HDMI out with certain applications, until I remembered that there's a VGA port on the TV as well for use outside of Final Cut.

THAT was uncalled for. :(

One of the main reasons why I love AVA is the message they are spreading. "spread love like violence". They're being hailed as the next U2 and Tom DeLonge is being called "the next Bono". Not to mention they are also literally saving lives. I got a letter from a guy on MySpace thinking that I knew the guys and he told me about how AVA saved his brothers life.

AVA=LOVE

Tom will NEVER be "the next Bono."

Bono is a hero, someone who gives and gives.

Tom does nothing. He WANTS to be like Bono, he's dying to be, but he never will be. Has Tom wiped a countries debt clear? No, he hasnt. All he's done is stabbed his two "best-friends" in the back and gone off on a prancing, arms-flailing adventure.

Tom and AVA are nothing special. Far from it.

And I've met the dude. He lost all of my respect when he ditched his bros the way he did. The guys a punk these days. /rant

Nope, I'm a fan of true friendships.

I really dont see how anyone can even compare them to U2. Because there's more layers of effects on his guitar than there are strings on the damn thing makes them like U2?

I find it hard to call even half of the crap that comes out these days music. The year 2000 = the death of real music.

im with this guy, i lost all respect for tom when i found out how he screwed mark and travis over. getting your manager to tell them you quit after 13 years of being in a band together? thats weak. he cant save lives, he cant even save himself. give me a break

They're a very dark band, but if I'm not mistaken Ghosts is all instrumental?

I'm not positive, but many are comparing it to when Billy (Smashing Pumpkins) scored Stigmata. Not really a huge NIN fan, Trent Reznor kinda irks me...

The new SP album takes take...a lot of time...to start to enjoy.

If it's your first album of theirs, I'd suggest getting some of the earlier stuff to appreciate them more.

that's one of the things that steered me away for a dslr. i thought once i know how to take good photos and the basics of photography, then ill spend $700 on a camera, but until then, i would just be way over my head and not using the camera to its full potential

I know what you mean and it's what put me off getting a dslr for a long time. I loved my Canon Powershot, it takes beautiful photos and is so simple to use - but the auto settings on the Nikon D40 make it just as simple, much to my relief. But it gives you so many more options to take even greater photos and to really learn about photography - it's not easy, but hopefully it will be worth the effort.

Thanks for pointing this out. I too am concerned that I am no photographer by any stretch of the imagination. I even kind of suck with the point and shoot cameras, but mainly because I expect miracles out of the camera without any effort on my part hehe. I would like to learn photography, and figure purchasing the Nikon D40 will help motivate me to make my investment worthwhile. :)

Got a new chair:
107124

My last one was a $300 leather executive chair with built-in heat & massage, but the seat cushion wore out after 4 years. The new chair has a terry cloth fabric, and no heat/massage, but only cost $99 (regularly $150, $50 off through 3/15). The cushions are actually more contoured than how they appear in the photo. The headrest sticks out making it very comfortable to lean back and rest in. Instead of over stuffed cushions, it has very stiff/sturdy cushions that i'm hoping will hold up better than the leather chair did.

Bought it at Staples (http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?&langId=-1&storeId=10001&noredir=true&catalogId=10051&productId=157960&cmArea=SEARCH).

[scotthayes]

Bought a 500GB Time Capsule of the Apple on-line store. Wanted to pick from the Apple store in Birmingham but sadly they had none in and didn't know when they would be. And a 7 days delivery time on it from Apple on-line.

Plus $1,000 towards spending money for trip to Newport RI and New York. Figured I'd get some now while the exchange rate is so good, got them at $1.96 to £1

Good call, I'm off to the US in August and a few months ago was lucky enough to get an exchange rate of 2:1 [I don't remember the exact rate], not only did I get a shedload of USD but it also means that now I don't have to worry about spending money or should I say spend my spending money before I get there, afterall, what pub is going to take a travelers cheque!?

Spare Key for my car... $160 programmed

Those keys are pretty expensive, huh? I used to have a land rover (04 freelander) and my dad once accidently lost the spare key, so we went to see if we could get a replacement.. they wanted about $500 for it. Needless to say, we didn't buy the replacement. We eventually found the spare key, thank god.

[skiesforme]

Lots of stuff from monoprice.com
1> Firewire 400 6 Pin / 6 pin for my 2.2 SR Macbook <--> 2.4 Penryn MBP
2> Ethernet crossover 500 MHz Cat 6 Crossover cable for networking the laptops directly (wired).
3> iPod/iPhone remote for my 2008 Honda Accord Coupe (recent purchase as well)
4> Mini to Toslink cable to couple my MB/MBP with my Logitech Z-5500.
5> Another battery (NP-FE1) for my Sony Cybershot T7.
Two other items - a 6 ft 3.5 mm audio M/M connector and an iPhone headphone adapter.
All this for $33 shipped !! Pretty cool HA!!

Yea they are. The key it self is nothing- $10 or something from the dealer, then they screw you with the remote entry part, and they they screw you again programming it. Yea, its def worth $45 in labor for you to hook a computer up to my car and the key.

My sisters boyfriends mom has a volvo S60 R and she lost the key- $430 to replace. Absolutely insane.

I wonder how much Mercedes charges with their infrared keys...

I was surprised only $4.50 for the bulb. I had to replace a light that lit up the cruise control switch on my old disco and that cost $8 and was much smaller.

You must be joking. I am from Prague, although I study in UK and I am in Prague right now for easter, and compared to UK it is still cheap as hell. 2 beers in UK = at least 10 beers in CZ if you know where to go.

Yeah. Love logitech.

Haha, I got 2.1 Z2300 and I am even scared to put volume above 20%, cause they are extremely loud. You should duck tape your furniture so it won't move around.Same. I got the Z-2300 around August last year, 2 weeks went by and from blasting them at 50-60% I blew one speaker. So then I ordered two Klipsh ProMedia Satellites of eBay. I've never turned the volume up past 70%, and after a few months the left speaker started to static, but when turning them up it was normal.

Now at any volume is statics, and below 20% you can't hear anything at all, and the static was like someones nails on a chalkboard while i was trying to listen to chill music. So it pissed me off to the Max. The Sub is stilll holding strong though. So now, these are my replacements. I've gotten so many noise complaints before I switched dorms but I wont blast them cause I respect I neighbors. They all dont care but i tell them if its too loud to let me know.

Exactly, what can a Chumby do that my iPhone can't? And it's about 20x the size too.

I was watching the video describing what it is, and I paused my iTunes to listen, and I heard Car Talk (car repair radio show) and I was like, "WTF? I paused iTunes." That was funny.

Z owner's rock !! I got the Z's as well ! and the Harman Kardon Soundsticks II as well. The Z's make my Home Theater while the Soudnsticks serve better for crisp music. I think freq response (lows and highs) is slightly better on the Harman Kardon. Z ofcourse is a blasting beast ideal for movies and games !

You guys might be looking for stands and tearing your hair apart (soon if you just started looking) looking for Z's. I just ended my research and ended up buying the Sanus HTB4 glass base stands from Amazon. They are probably 1 of the 3 stands that fit the Z's and they look cool !! ;)

I guess its one of those kinds of gadgets where you don't realize how useful it is until you actually have one. I think its awesome being able to get all my info (weather, traffic info, RSS feeds from different websites, world news, see what's selling on Woot!, track my ebay auctions, stocks, etc.) Without having to turn on my computer or the TV. It's especially useful in the mornings when I don't have much time to get my news. But I agree on the fact that its a little too expensive.

Sorry, i'm new to this, and looking into speakers at the momentIf the setup uses 3 3.5mm connectors (like my previous 5.1 system), then I can take a tri-3.5mm adapter to 2-RCA outputs (for video games), hook a RCA cable to an RCA-to-one 3.5mm adapter and hook it to the input jack on the macbook.

I suppose someone can tell you who has one, or I can tell you when I get it.

IBM CPD-220. It can do 2048*1536 @ 75Hz (easily handle full 1080 HD) & is one of the only CRTs to have a DVI connection. £98 including delivery, should be here tomorrow :)

I have a 17" LCD & three 15" LCDs but they're simply too small & too low-res, plus the colour reproduction isn't good enough. I pulled a 20" Trinitron CRT & a 21" Diamondtron CRT from a skip last year but whilst they both have small faults, they reminded me how much I prefer CRTs to LCDs. So as I just sold an iBook I found in the same skip for £76 on eBay I figured I would put the money towards a new monitor!

I did. I equated "I've gotten so many noise complaints" as disrespectful to your neighbors.

If the setup uses 3 3.5mm connectors (like my previous 5.1 system), then I can take a tri-3.5mm adapter to 2-RCA outputs (for video games), hook a RCA cable to an RCA-to-one 3.5mm adapter and hook it to the input jack on the macbook.
But then surely every channel would get the same feed? I.e. it wouldn't really be surround sound but the same thing coming out of every speaker?

Just bought a Canon 430ex flash off e-bay. Saved a 25% so mega happy :D just got to wait for it to arrive now :(

I did. I equated "I've gotten so many noise complaints" as disrespectful to your neighbors.Thus, still didnt read it.

Vast majority came from upstairs, while the neighbors next to us said they didnt care. (Same in the area im in now), so therefore No in one case. Plus, I also stated that I told them if its too loud to let me know, but I havent gone over the 25% marks when I had my second dorm. Once again. Also, my ex-doormate had a 5.1 receiver system as well. Since he was a senior, he had his **** louder than I did half the time.


But then surely every channel would get the same feed? I.e. it wouldn't really be surround sound but the same thing coming out of every speaker? Fine with me. I got them for a good deal, I dont need them to sound like a real 5.1 system. Before you go and say its a waste we'll I worked for that money so I could give 2 ***** about your opinion with what i do with a 5.1 system.

Plus, the system I do that for Im only using the L/R & C channels, meaning I needed 2 out of the 3 mm jacks it has.

Just got a refurbished Macbook (white). 2.2 Ghz, 2GB RAM (even though i paid for 1) and 150GB hard drive (only paid for 120). soo happy :D and super fast delivery too!

[dog24]

Bough these, getting ready for my Dell 2408WFP :D

[skiesforme]

How do these speakers connect to a macbook, or can they only connect to a soundcard with 5.1 output? Sorry, i'm new to this, and looking into speakers at the moment :D

Enjoy them, people on here seem to be loving them :D

I connect my Z's with my MBP and MB using a toslink-mini toslink connector I got from Monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&cs_id=1022902&p_id=1571&seq=1&format=2)
If you have Perian(supports Dolby ProLogic II) installed in Quicktime, you can get great sound from your MB/MBP optical audio port. It's a huge difference compared to the standard 3.5 mm cables. Apart from that for music(which is 2 channels) you cannot do anything but replicate channels on a 5.1 system. I play around with the Effect (DL Movie, DL Music, Stereo, Stereo X2, Direct 5.1) till I get the best sound. If I recall correctly, its StereoX2..
In my personal opinion, Z-5500 is not "the best" for crisp music with nice frequency response/fidelity. It's great for powerful sound(Home theater/games) but I prefer my Harman Kardon SoundSticks II for music. Just my personal experience with both my systems.
BTW, I got to post my last purchase as well (I post quite regulalrly:D )
Got myself 2 stands for the rear satellites of the Z. They would vibrate n rattle on the wall mounts !!

IBM CPD-220. It can do 2048*1536 @ 75Hz (easily handle full 1080 HD) & is one of the only CRTs to have a DVI connection. £98 including delivery, should be here tomorrow :)

I have a 17" LCD & three 15" LCDs but they're simply too small & too low-res, plus the colour reproduction isn't good enough. I pulled a 20" Trinitron CRT & a 21" Diamondtron CRT from a skip last year but whilst they both have small faults, they reminded me how much I prefer CRTs to LCDs. So as I just sold an iBook I found in the same skip for £76 on eBay I figured I would put the money towards a new monitor!

I was looking at one of those, but then before I was gonna pull the trigger on a set, a 24" Sony GDM-FW900 landed in my lap for free. I dont really see the point of the DVI port, as my buddy has one of those, and its a DVI-A port IIRC. IBM does make an amazing monitor. Hope ya enjoy. The 19" IBM that I have (P97) has been awesome since I got it new a few years back.

Bought a used copy of Kafka's Complete Stories off Amazon Marketplace for my English class and pre-ordered a limited run, autographed copy of Sun Kil Moon's new album "April" (from the record label site). It contains a second bonus disc with tracks only available on the limited run album until a separate EP is released in a couple months :)

I will hate you for the rest of my life for landing a free FW900! Still, I actually prefer 4:3 to widescreen & the IBM was half the price of the cheapest FW900 I've ever seen on eBay. Hopefully it'll arrive today :)

[Dfndr90]

Awesome! Link?

You can check this link for the helmet, but Master replicas is not licensed any more so you have to find a helmet on Ebay. Mine version was only released in the UK, but my local comic book shop was able to find me one online and had it shipped so I did not get killed with price.
