Hope that isn't too big
But it's a cheapo light above my bed from Ikea which I may use it for reading at night. 
Got a tip for us?

Just picked mine up in store and going to play around with it. Probably going to sell it though because I just couldn't resist buying shiny Apple stuff.
I bought two of them for both my T2is. It makes me two times more productive. Waiting an hour for a 10 sec time lapse to finish is hell on earth... I could better spend my time fapping.
A Synology DS110j. Awesome little NAS, draws very little power and supports Time Machine.
VERY nice! I'm about 2 weeks removed from buying the DS1010+. Been saving up for that one.
That integral brings back nightmares...er memories haha. The infamous stewart calc book.
Simply kick-ass!
Haven't heard the new Castles yet, but I LOVE their first album. They were to open for Nine Inch Nails a few years ago, but NIN had to cancel the night before I was going to drive down to Minneapolis due to Trent being ill. When they rescheduled the show, CC was not available to open, so we heard Boris instead...
just ordered some Belkin Anti-glare screen protectors for my iP4. I have loved these things on my 2G and 3G iphones...
UPS dropped this off at 11:30 this morning.
Great Lens, Ive got one, well the older model but Try it with a ND 06 filter on, you will love it
Just played around a little bit so far, not too much. The trail I went on yesterday didn't have many opportunities and today is thunderstorms and leaving on a jetplane later.
I'm not a sports or action photographer so I don't miss IS. It would only add a couple stops anyways, I can't justify the huge price gap for that right now, maybe later. If I had the cash, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II. At 200mm on a crop body it is hard to keep it steady.
So far:
Lens is very solid, well built. Smooth action on zoom and manual focus rings. Well built tripod collar. The included lens hood is excellent, snaps on well and cuts down on stray light very well.
The autofocus is great, I really like the Sigma HSM in this model. It is very quiet, accurate, doesn't creep unless the subject has low contrast.
The f/2.8 is amazing. Not only does it allow you to shoot in lower light than the typical f/4 tele zooms, in good light it also expands your creative dof, both factors which ruled out the f/4 for me. This is my first tele zoom of my own. I played with the Canon 75-300mm zoom in the past, that thing was garbage compared to this (at 4x the price it should be, but still). I'm really pleased with the image quality.
I never played with the Canon 70-200 f/4L which I was considering besides this one, but on the retail websites I compared specs and this is what swayed me:
f/2.8 vs f/4, pretty huge deciding factor here.
Sigma includes a padded softcase for the lens.
Sigma includes a good tripod collar.
I have the Canon 20mm f/2.8 USM and 28-135mm f/3.5 IS USM. Comparing the USM in these to the HSM in the Sigma, I can't see much difference. HSM is great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another lens with HSM in it.
I honestly don't have many good pictures for you to review right now, it has been insanely hazy in DC recently so any distant tele pics look like crap regardless of the lens. I can post some boring shots I took under a canopy of deciduous trees on a trail if you want.
Finally got a iPhone 4 - my iPhone 3G died on me so it was an impromptu and mad scramble to find an iPhone 4. A 6 hour search yesterday turned successful!
Oh and of course a case/pouch for my iPhone: the Vaja Classic Retro Slim Bag in Rabbit Grey (body) and Nautical Blue (stripe) - similar to the pic attached as it is not mine. Pic courtesy of OasisNYK.

I have the 24-70 2.8 L for my Canon and if I am shooting even with a little bit of light I don't notice it. Of course most of the time I am shooting wide open. It gives you some creamy bokeh and fast focus and the high shutter speeds at 2.8 outside when I am on location .. really once in a _great_ while, maybe one per shoot will be blurry. Out of.. 200 photos. I don't really miss i.s. at 2.8 on my lens. Stopped down, it is still a fast performer.. no issues yet.
I know my lens isn't a Sigma.. but I thought I would share my experience at 2,8 too. My next purchase is the 1.2 portrait lens
Well after the 1ds mark ii.
Up and running .. fantastic product!
Drobo S + 5x 2TB WD Caviar Green (WD20EARS).
A replacement for my Late 08 MBP after it had 2 logic boards and a display replaced and the problem still persisted. Got the 2.4Ghz i5 flavour.
I have tasted some pretty gnarly stuff in my time but those cantina tacos at Taco Bell are the nastiest things I have ever tried in my entire life.

yes they are. i didnt even finish eating mine.
Not a purchase in direct regards, but paid down my student loans and paid off a couple credit cards thanks to a financial aid refund. Now if I could only get the rest of the money the school owes me I should be credit card debt free.

Tried these two nights ago and I couldn't agree more. The pork one was at least edible but the chicken and steak however = yuck!
