Traded in my 360 and preordered one of the new ones, but I don't know when it will come in at my local gamestop :eek:

Then got this because I'm really far from the current router.

An unfortunate accident to my old daypack forced me to get a new one.

Oh well. It's a lot nicer. Deuter Futura 28, sitting next to its predecessor, a North Face Jester.

I hope you have more lights then that one. You should really be using a 3 point lighting system.

Yes I understand. Unfortunately for now he only has the one - up until recently he wasn't shooting video himself; he was being given raw film to composite together into the final product. The "problem" is that "technically" the car dealership for whom he works funded the equipment (they gave him a charge card and said spend what you need) so he didn't want to go absolutely crazy with the money - he didn't want to look like he was taking advantage of the situation.

He is, however, buying a 12' jib crane and LCD monitor for his real estate home shoots so get some of those high, sweeping shots that look really slick in property film. I'm looking forward to assisting him as a cinematographer and camera man just so I can play with all of the equipment.

I kept urging him to go with a DSLR because of the interchangeable lenses and full manual focus (50mm f1.8 :eek: Beautiful!!!), but he seemed really against the idea, I think because he wanted the auto focus that the pro-sumer video cameras provide. But...all is said and done and the Vixia is still pretty phenomenal.

Ohh, and somehow I managed to steal one of these off of Ebay NIB for $188. I'm anxious to see the difference in speed :eek:

Netgear WNR3500L. Claims 802.11n, USB networked storage. Netgear advertises support for open firmware DD-WRT which is awesome. Got it for improved home wireless performance to support my new iP4.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it work as well as my trusty 802.11g workhorse, a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 running DD-WRT like a champ. Netgear's going back to Best Buy and I'll use an AirPort Express or two to get fast networking to my 802.11n devices.

Earlier this week my kids sold our Wii and all its accessories just in time to preorder nick1516's new XB. It came a couple of days ago.

How's this router by the way...i like cause its a space saver by standing vertical,my current router is laying horizontal

Pretty good, once I got it set up, I was getting 3 times the download speed, plus a lot better range, I used to get practically no signal in my room from our old wireless g router, but now I get plenty :D

Also, my order finally went through from guitar center where the $50 off coupon had no minimum the other day, I'm surprised that they were even willing to give most of the people over at slickdeals at least one of their orders. Got a wah pedal for $28 shipped :D

$700 each or $700 total? $350/per is a total steal.


$700 total. Macbook had a dead hard drive but fixed that and now its working great and the macbook air is fine. It was a package deal.
