The Philips Living Colors Mini version in glossy black. It's brighter than I expected, but not bright enough for reading. Great mood effect. Some pics to give you an idea.
That is awesome but where'd you get your giant munny?
Got a tip for us?

Got the Livescribe 4GB Pulse Smartpen for my birthday! My birthday's not 'til tomorrow, but since we're getting another foot of snow tomorrow, we celebrated today.
It's really cool! I had no idea I was getting it! Plus 4 notebooks of the dot paper. This thing is amazing. Works so perfectly.
Thanks! That makes sense. So the cheaper Kensingtion USB unit linked by an earlier user uses DisplayLink with one adapter per extra monitor used, the non-DP Matrox units use GTM and the Display Port variant Matrox will allow for output up to 2x or 3x 1920x1200* with a single unit.
Makes sense now! Though I have one more question...
I am assuming here, that the DisplayLink units use the system CPU and RAM to emulate a GPU and VRAM, or something along these lines... Seeing as the Matrox DP uses the Mini-DisplayPort out (I think), it would use the video card's resources and not the system's... is this correct?
*As opposed to the 2x 1024x768 limitation of the Analog/Digital non-DP Matrox units.

Since it's now tomorrow, Happy Birthday!
Got my Matrox acronym wrong, theirs is the GXM system vs Dispaly link. I think overall they have similar impact on load on the system (GPU vs CPU use) though Matrox is much pickier about its compatibility list - though Macs are on it now...
The Matrox is that the multiple monitors are delivered to the desktop as one "single" large monitor (ala eyefinity, though 3D is weak) or multiple displays, where each Displaylink is only isolated displays.
I'd go with the Matrox myself at the moment if you want more then 1 extra display.
Preparing myself for the snow day tomorrow....The Brave One, Slumdog Millionaire, Couples Retreat.
Don't need to renew for a few months, but found a good price.
Thinking about picking up Bioshock 2, but shouldn't be spending any more of my time playing games.

i wanted to add onto this whole preparation for snow thing here, it wasn't really a purchase because it was under warranty but i got my xbox back last night after 4ish weeks of repair.
supposed to get 15" or more of snow tomorrow during the day, not going to school even if we're dismissed early

That's a great tuner. I'm not sure if you already know or not, but it can be used to daisy chain the rest of your pedals. It's a great and cheap way to power a bunch of other effects. Enjoy it.
I just helped clean out the refurb store of Minis.
How much were they going for?
Jealous about the Intuos!
The only way to get a feel for the camera is to take "too many" pictures. Experiment with all the settings to see what can be done. If you know what the camera can do, it doesn't matter if it is a $10 disposable or a $5000 DSLR because the user determines the picture.
Yeah, right now I am just experimenting with my mom's Rebel XSi (she uses it as a point and shoot camera... figured one of use should know how to use it. ><)... My friend is a hobbyist, and owns thousands of dollars in lenses, so I will experiment/learn from him. Probably slowly build a collection of my own lenses for use with my mom's camera, and then eventually buy my own Canon DSLR. That won't be for at LEAST another 6 months though. Maybe you will see me post a Canon is "Post you last purchase XVI"
