Open Box 64GB iPad (Original) WiFi + 3G for $337 from Micro Center. :eek:

Everything is in the box, not a blemish on the iPad anywhere.

Updating to iOS 5 now. Beats paying $492 more for cameras I'll never use. :p
 
picked these up from ebay for $38 shipped. I realize they are probably fake but the seller had 100% feedback and a 14 day return policy so I'm gonna take a chance.

Went to the local bike co-op to get my bottom bracket tightened. There was a super annoying clunk with each revolution of the cranks. Not a purchase per se, but I donated $10 to the co-op (they run entirely off of donations).

Here's a picture of the co-op. There are two bike co-ops in Denver. One is called the Bike Depot and the other is called Derailer (sic... it should be derailleur).

Picked up a few things recently..

New wallet. Had to pick up something that was a card holder but also held cash. The other side has an I.D. window. I think this is pretty perfect, but we'll see.

picked up a used iPhone 4 from Kijiji and the antenna band was pretty beat up (looks like cases caused it) so I picked up a new antenna band/frame assembly. Took me a while to get the old one disassembled and put into the new frame but it looks brand new now. No signal degradation or anything. New one came with everything in the picture pre-assembled and also came with the 3G antenna/speaker assembly which isn't pictured. Only gripe I have is that the vibrate switch is wobbly/receding slightly which is kind of annoying but I can live with it. the picture is from their eBay site, the name of the eBay store is in the picture too.

Holy moly, how can you possibly use that much ink? I do a LOT of writing and I go through a bottle of Aurora Blue every year. I had a couple of bottles of J Herbin ink that developed mold and gunk, so I only keep 1-2 bottles of ink on hand at any given time.
I keep my inks in the walk in closet to shield them from the light and extreme temp. So far, none of used inks have developed any problem so far. As long as you clean your pen with water thoroughly and dry it before changing ink, you won't introduce cross contamination from one bad ink to good one.

Practically speaking, unless the ink is already bad at the time of purchase, it should last long long time as long as the cap is closed immediately after a filling session.
 
Not really a purchase, but I did part with some money at Hertz so I could sample the before unknown delights of a rwd car, and a v8 first hand...

<orange challenger RT>

I seriously want this thing forever! Or a Charger, to be more practical

I can attest to this :) My 5 year old 300c (same platform, slightly longer wheelbase) is still a friggin awesome drive (AND it's held up great)

I think the new Charger (and the Challenger, of course) are friggin hot cars. :D
 
That's cool to hear. I don't think I'd get such a garish color though. The charger looks nice and mean and that engine is beautiful. The way it shuts off 4 cylinders when it doesn't need them is pretty cool, but when it does need all 8, it sounds and feels amazing.
 
Last purchase on the right, but these have all been within a 1 month span... went a little crazy.. girlfriend got me 2 for my birthday and I treated myself to the other two. Had amazon gift cards for birthday also so went ahead and used em for MW3 and bought Skyrim cash.

All of these games are awesome! My least favorite being MW3 (although the campaign so far has been pretty cool)

most recent purchase...

I'm sick and tired of being/feeling like the fat, ugly girl..... it ends now!

Well, when the dvd's get here, anyway... until then I'm trying my hand at Zumba and discovering just how little rhythm I really have. :D

And since I grew up in the South and grew up learning to cook (and eat) like a farm hand, I'm enrolling in the next healthy cooking class at the local Community College...

Wish me luck! (or find that magic pill that makes you lose weight as easily as you gain it......)

^^^^Good luck. P90X is hard as hell. It isn't really meant for someone new to exercise, so make sure you don't hurt yourself. :)

I did it for around a month, but then decided to rejoin a gym. I missed free weights.
