2013 Jetta TDI Premium with Nav for the girlfriend. She loves it and is a big step up from the 2005 Camry she was driving.

A friend of mine bought as Jetta TDI over half a year ago. He's been bragging about excellent mileage and how every consumable is half the price of mine (i.e.: tires for like $60 a piece?). Anyways on a trip, I rented a Jetta for a week and I loved it. It wasn't a TDI or a Premium, but it was very good nonetheless.

The adapter I have doesn't carry audio and I want to start watching TV shows/movies on my TV.

And this:

Its funny you look at the standard whey ect label and it looks very plain and uninviting like it would taste bad yet its the best tasting whey that ive ever had. definitely good choice.

finally found the 30 pin adaptor at Walt Whitman Mall. It wasn't on the shelf but the guy looked on his ipod touch and they had them. Moral of the story, if you don't see it ask to check the stock. :D

Yes it is a very nice car for what it is, but I just wish they didn't skimp out on some features (in order to cut costs and make it more affordable) when these new MK6 Jettas was released. It's not a deal breaker in any way, but I feel bad for the 2011 folks with the same car that has no disc brakes and better interior upgrades. The only thing I wish the car had is the IRS (since it's torsion beam for the rear on the Jetta), but to be honest it's not that big of a difference to me personally.

Other than that spent some more time with the car today and really love it. Can't complain that we are able to get 45mpg on average while I'm only getting 28mpg on my GTI.

On a related note just ordered a front plate bracket for the TDI. The front bumper was not drilled (thank goodness) so we're going to mount our front license plate to the tow hook.

Also another Escort 9500ix for the GF in her TDI.

It's a fantastic lens. I use it on my D700, and chose it over the 14-24 because I needed the ability to use filters.

I have the "altered" holy trinity:
16-35
24-70
70-200

The new 70-200 f/4 looks pretty good to me but I will have to wait and see when reviews come out. I'll have an altered 'holy trinity' as well.

It was time to upgrade my wife's White UniBody MacBook. She didn't want too much so I decided to go with the following:

You won't be dissapointed - Android is the way forward - Once you go Android ya cannot go back

There's a lot to get used to, so far I love it though. Funny enough I thought the 4.5 inch screen might be a little much, but I love it, and it doesn't make my iPhone feel small like I thought it would

Due to crappy packaging, this poor guy didn't survive shipping unscathed

never thought that making my own White Mochas would taste exactly the same as the ones from Starbucks.

This is the syrup that starbucks uses. I have Starbucks K-cups, I bought a meat thermometer so i can bring my milk to 180 F degrees (bit hot for most people, stnrd temp is 160F) then I add 3 Pumps on my mug and BAM! I just saved $4.37

I just purchased that exact same bottle from Amazon. LOL! My wife wanted it for her morning drinks. I just make a cappuccino myself with no flavoring. Just steamed milk and espresso. My machine is small and makes a somewhat good drink, but I plan to purchase a nice plumbed-in espresso machine some day. My wife and I have saved so much money buying our own machine. $8 x 7 = $56 each week. $8 x 365 = $2920 per year in savings.

I visit Apple Store almost every day (I work in a mall, at lunch I browse internet there) and they are full everyday since launch of them... I'm still can't understand how people can't find them... :confused:

Picked me up a black iPhone 5 64 gb last night at Micro Center, only place in central Ohio that had any without a wait. Very happy with it so far.
