totally epic

Thorns where do you teach?

Got a pretty good deal on this ($25 less than the cheapest online price).

Shun Pro 8.25" Yanagiba

Nice fade on dem blue selvedge.

Would the greys be suitable if I usually wear a 30-31?

I could be wrong about these ones, but I have a pair of MIJ 17cm 95% cotton, 5% elastane (black) from S/S2007, and I had to size up one from MIJ 21cm raw. The waist is big, but it's meant to be worn realllllly low and legs are skinnnny.

But only if you make it animated on the shirt. Like those cards you get in cereal boxes where you move your head side to side.

corned beef is raping kiya.

No, this'll all be done in my bathroom.

I've been in a big B&W kick lately.

X-series are extremely portable. I think mine weights like 3 pounds with the extended battery.

There's a 20% off coupon code for the Thinkpad X-series right now (USPANNIV2628). It's a pretty sweet deal.

If there was a tax for having to not use Windows, I'd gladly pay it... but not sure where you are going about with the extra Apple tax. Obviously this is getting into a pc vs. mac fanboy debate... but many PC manufacturers do a lot of advertising to purport a great price value...

Adding some stuff to spec I have noticed minimal price differences, but that's just me.

I don't use Windows either, except when I'm in Photoshop (hell there's a way to run Photoshop under Linux nowadays). There is no more PC vs Mac debate because Apple uses the exact same architecture as PCs. What I mean by the "tax" is if you're not running OSX (i.e. dual booting Windows on a Mac), then why pay for Apple hardware? Because it's pretty?

BTW, my desktop is made my Sun Microsystems.

Exactly. Why pay the Apple tax (especially now that they use x86 based hardware) if you're not running OSX?

My 12" Thinkpad X60s gets 6.5 hours on a full charge. Take that Apple!

I use B+W and Cokin filters almost exclusively. I used to use the cheaper Hoya ones but Ive had multiple ones with build quality issues (loose glass seals, bad threads), especially with 77mm+ filters.

A UV filter looks like just a piece of protective glass, but I recommend you get one good clear UV filter for each lense, preferably a multicoated one. This will cut down on chromatic aberation (lenz flarez!!) and help your lenses perform closer to what they would without a filter. Especially in terms of apeture.

Good luck with the M8. Id love to try one.

Fuck. I've had 3 77mm Hoya polarizers break on me until I dropped some dough on a B+W Kaesemann. That thing's a brick though, I highly recommend B+W. Cokin is too low-end for me, I have a Z-Pro holder but my filter is a Lee.

Can you take a pic of it laid flat?

artificialsky: that fucker's not that nice. he drank our beer and then left with insomaniac.

Last I heard the 135 was starting in the low-mid $30k's? Fuck that, I'd rather get a 3.

Anyone else use gradient maps in PS to do color to greyscale conversion? I just 'discovered' it and combining that with hue & channel mixer I get pretty interesting results.
