Got the 5D Mark III/grip taken care of last night. Might order the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 today. Then it's time to save $6800 for the 300 f/2.8 Mark II. Can't wait!

Nothing much more to say...it's gorgeous, incredibly well made, has wonderfully planned features, and is way out of my price range.

Now, if anyone here would like to buy one for me...well, I would like that a whole lot!:p



I have updated Alex Duetto 2 by Izzo and I love it. Major bling. Next time I upgrade I plan on buying a lever action espresso machine. I need to start researching this now or I will never find the perfect machine.

I apoligize if I'm telling you something you already know...but there are 2 kinds of lever machines - manual piston and spring lever piston.

The manual piston is very difficult to use, really can take years to get consistent results, and still exists almost as an oddity. It is very hard to use properly and get consistent pulls.

BTW: it is the source of the expression "to pull a shot".

The spring piston lever is much easier to master, and it's advantage is that there is no pump to crap out on you. Cocking the spring with the lever replaces the pump.

Anyway, if you get a Londium 1, I don't want to know because I will go into a fit of jealous rage and probably hurt myself!:p


I plan on buying this machine some day.

I live blocks away from Compass Coffee Roasters. I can get raw beans from all over the world. I just have to wait for me to save my $$. :)

It is called the Hottop roaster.
It is a coffee roaster. It roast 2.2 lbs of coffee in 16 to 20 minutes. This is the pre production model that will be released later this year. It is supposed to be able to roast beans inside your house. It has this chaff collection and smoke control to allow a person to roast inside your home.

Ah...interesting. I fear for the price, but it is interesting.

My roaster is for indoor roasting and has a chaff collector, but if you roast to first crack or beyond, it must be vented outside because of the smoke. I just use a 3" vent hose, as the smoke vents out of the chaff collector and it has a "neck" that a 3" hose fits perfectly.

Neat looking machine...do you know how it handles the smoke issue?

Definitely buying personalised Nike Air Max shoes. I still have around 3 weeks to get my final design to look personal (lol) and then to order them. It takes around 3 weeks for them to arrive - but it is worth it IMO.

All online shops should have this thing (I would own only Vans if they would have this), but they don't... :(

I love this theme, but I still need to look around.

19 atm but my goal is to purchase a house for my parents in the future. :)

I tell my mom the same thing! I'm a big mommas boy and I always tell her when I make it big I will take care of her like she has for me. Me being only 19 as well I have a long ways to go but it's nice seeing her smile big when I say that. We have thing on going joke that when I get my own place she will live down the street or even with me lol.

My work gave me a MSi laptop. It is by far the worst laptop I have ever owned. Power supply is a massive brick, it's really flimsy, the touch pad is useless, and the laptop is so heavy and thick, has nice specs when I got it last year.
I just asked for a dell with 1080p 15" and discreet graphics.
