Didn't want to go for the Thunderbolt model since there is no USB connectivity. What a shame.
Purchased a new Seiko SRP307 Monster Men's Watch from Amazon. Should have it in a few days

My MagSafe power adapter broke, so once my computer runs out of battery, that'll be it until the new charger arrives:

I will be getting two of these soon. But I'll be buying the ones by Buffalo. They're a bit different. Did you purchase yours online?
I have the previous gen "Monster", i call it the AK-47 of watches. Drop it, drag it through the mud, wear it while working on the car, nothing can hurt it. It still looks like new. And the Lume is excellent and long-lasting. Great auto for the price. Batteries are for chumpsPurchased a new Seiko SRP307 Monster Men's Watch from Amazon. Should have it in a few days

I've always wanted of these. Glad I waited though. Mine has the second generation movement which you can wind manually as well. Plus it's hackable meaning when you pull the crown out to set the time, the second hand stops so can get an exact setting.
New Mac mini - my first Mac.

It's a 2014 Refurbished 1.4GHz processor, 4GB memory, and 500GB hard drive. I was saving some money to buy myself a 5K iMac, but disaster struck when my crappy old windows laptop gave out, and I needed a new computer ASAP. It's not the best or most powerful Mac, but I decided to get this so I could get started with the Mac ecosystem and save up for a MacBook Pro or Retina iMac.

I cracked up when you said batteries are for chumps. I have to agree with you. I have 3 Seiko Automatics, 2 of then are Sport 5 23 Jewel models, and 1 38mm 21 jewel model. Yes, they are not as accurate as a quartz watch, but you never have to change a battery. Plus the second hand always lines up with the minute markers unlike quartz watches. BTW, I have several quartz watches including an expensive Tag Heuer that never lines up perfectly with the minute markers. That drives me crazy! Can't wait till my new Monster arrives!!!

Twelve South BookArc mod in Espresso for my 15" rMBP. It's pretty cool and saves a bit of space on my desktop, paired to my Samsung 27" 4K display. I recommend this although i'm not too sure about heat management.
Magsafe 2 to replace my damaged one. All the rubber outer had split at the end where it connects to my macbook, exposing the inner core. Why are these so bloody expensive???

Mate, you should of tried to have the charger replaced. I made an appointment while out of warranty. Walked right up and showed him my damaged, yellowed, turning on and off magsafe 2. Without a question or hesitation had mine replaced.Magsafe 2 to replace my damaged one. All the rubber outer had split at the end where it connects to my macbook, exposing the inner core.

People rat on this machine, but seriously, it's an awesome little machine, especially for $419. Buy yourself a quality IPS monitor and some good peripherals and I'd be happy with it for at least 4 years.
