Splurge!

Nov 26, 2007 22:20

I bought stuff today. Fry's Electronics is my friend, and they're your's too!

I've been camped out in front of a laptop for years now, more or less having shed the anchor that is a desktop computer for the thrifty capacity that mobile computing allows. It has been rather sweet... But in hind sight, I had been wanting more of a large-scale set up at ( Read more... )

Thats a cool lamp you got there. Nice screen too

Yes. Yes they are. :D

You want a kick-ass keyboard? What you want is something based on IBM's famous M; it's a mechanical switch setup that's indestructible and feels great.

Hmm... Never heard of it. What I got instead was a Logitech Wave. Pretty damn comfortable...

I've gone through a lot of keyboards because I type hard and many of them wind up cramping my wrists. If you want to step up to boards that feel really different to type on check out::

OMG, that is indeed the most amazing lamp ever o_O Where'd you manage to find something like that?

Also! I have (what I think is) a good idea for your badge! Perchance, could you get me a photo of your bike from the front, with more of the upper part of the bike in view?

You can find the extinguishers themselves occasionally at antique stores and yard sales and such. It is difficult to locate ones in good condition (the sulphuric acid that was used inside of them as a propellant once it mixed with the bi-carbonate of soda, aka baking soda, usually ate the copper and brass metals into nothingness,) but they are still out there!

I have this lamp and another just like it in my living room. I have a mild tendancy to collect stuff. :)

And that is a photo I can do! I'll take a snapshot and send it to you later this evening.

I got your IRC message where you said you'd sent the picture.. but I'm not sure where you sent it, since I can't find it in any of my mailboxes o.o

smokepaw November 29 2007, 06:00:17 UTC

Hmm.... I sent the e-mail to keovi@kendavi.com, the only e-mail I have for you. Get back to me and I'll send it where ever it needs to go!

Ah, yeah. The lamps (I have two of them, one at my desk and another in my living room) have been in the family for a little while. I have a couple other things of the type... A small fluorocarbon hand held extinguisher that is still charged (nasty stuff, that is,) various pictures, patches, helmet shields...

I have other things too. You should see my beer bottle collection! :)
