Post Your Last Purchase XXIV

Decent deal on eBay and figured this would be a nice stepping stone along the path to full frame body...eventually.

nice i just got mine about a month ago... you are going to love i just ordered a 50mm f/1.4g today.

Now that I've dumped some pictures, I can post more thoroughly.

Going back about a week, got my mom some flowers for Valentine's Day. No girlfriend and/or seeing anyone this year, so I got off on the cheap! I got my sister a Visa giftcard she can use for gas when she comes home from school.



My sister got me a bunch of snack food she won at school during a community BINGO game, lol. She's vegan, so I got a bunch of chips/candy/etc. My mom got me an Evernote Moleskine notebook. Freaking awesome!



I spent several days at Iowa State University for their recruiting fair. I love doing the recruiting thing - easy work, get to meet nice people, enjoy some good food, get people jobs, and just get away from the office and do something different. While there, hit a local cafe', and had some killer mac & cheese and dessert.





I'd love to invest in a really nice pair of shoes; but I just wear through them way too quickly. I'm sure a more expensive pair might last longer - but I'd honestly rather just grab a new pair every several months, I guess. Also got a belt and a shirt while on the excursion.





And woo! It's Metal Gear Rising day! Love me some Metal Gear!





Grabbed a case today at the Apple Store on the way home...



... for my new baby that's replacing my old 2007 24" iMac:



13" Retina MacBook Pro - 2.5 i5 - 8GB - 128GB

Got these today from newegg.com. The hard drive is being used for my media collection. My PC now has a little over 7 terabytes of internal storage.

Howuch stuff can you fit in the filson? I was wondering if it would fit a rmbp 15, iPad and accesories

It can fit my 15inch, iPad, 4X6 Wacom Tablet, a notebook and folder. Anything more is pushing it.

Sweet Setup - love the bamboo A5s! I have been going back and forth lately between those and the a2s. I am concerned the A5s may be too big for my desk setup. They sound great though

Usually at the Gucci store in the dallas galleria or Gucci.com

Bought the mini vac below for counter clean up after making espresso. I was using a counter brush, but I thought I'd try this.

Espresso making is a very messy process.

OK, it's a computer keyboard cleaner!!

Gotta think outside the box!!!

Sorry to be dense, but I don't get the Brussels reference.

I obviously didn't black out my name somewhere...please let me know where I left my name in so I can edit it.

Thanks...

Ok the Mac and Cheese looks freaking tasty and I agree with the shoes, have a pair just like them. They rock in my book! Going back to the Mac and Cheese.....

The reference was merely intelligent, just poking the lame robbin' banks horse while it's not totally dead. Brussels, airport, diamonds...got it? If yes, are you rich now or not?

And that's a cool toy you got yourself there. Tool I mean. Post it in the proper espresso thread, too!?

I bet thats a useful size lens, wouldnt mind one myself as my stock 18/55mm is never quite enough.

Well, since the reference was intelligent, it's no wonder I didn't get it!

(Um...a tiny bit obscure, however)

It's posted on espresso thread, too.

Just noticed in my e-mail account that Amazon starts adressing me now with "So T.W., how did this item meet your expectations?" Is this meant to be cool in any way?? T-doubleya? Curious.

Since I'm (or was) a very avid, and satisfied, customer with this company, I really don't know how to deal now with the latest news Amazon receives here lately. Honestly didn't know about it...hmm...common snese says boycott, but it's so damn convenient...damn!

Couple pairs of japanese denim


Pulse Eight CEC adapter for my XBMC box.


Some awesome Allen Edmonds shoes

I was in a similar situation but the difference in sound and body was huge. If you can afford the space, go for the A5s... you won't regret it. I was able to find a killer dealer at the Magnolia HiFi/Best Buy on an open box pair that was still sealed. ROFL!

picked these up for the wife.

One for the car, one for the iPad keyboard.

What was suppose to be a simple trip to the Apple Store to pick up an iPad 64 LTE turned into me basically redoing my home office.

iPad 64 LTE (Verizon)


Quad Core Mac Mini


Apple Bluetooth Keyboard


Apple Magic Trackpad


Second AppleTV for Bedroom


Dell 23 LED


16GB of RAM for the Mac Mini was also picked up and installed. Looking at potentially getting a 256GB SSD to make my own Fusion Drive on the Mac Mini.

My telecommute office will be posted up on the home setup area once I'm done cleaning things up.
