30th Anniversary Collection

Very nice! Hard to believe its been 30 years now.

 

[Apple fanboy]

Got a couple of 23" 1920x1080 IPS LED monitors, Dell S2340L. Multi display works pretty good OSX wise, I can also use a 40" TV as a third monitor through AppleTV.

The monitor display surface is glossy so images are not effected by an anti-glare surface treatment. My room has controlled light levels so reflections are minimal. Colour looks similar to iMacs and MacBooks. There is some "IPS glow" which is like backlight leakage and may be noticed in dark images such as movie outer space scenes.

The colours on the two monitors are slightly different but I got them almost identical by tweaking the RGB levels on one of them. Need to figure out how to do this better.

Tthese monitors are a bit glitchy with cheap HDMI cables from dollar store, so I switched to slightly more expensive cables that have no issues. Looking for good HDMI cables 2 or 3 feet long.

Buy a calibrator. ColorMunki display will get those panels matched.

I know it's not an iPhone 6, but it's still awesome. Just found this vintage 60s leather racer on eBay and in my size. Only $50.

Very nice, and here, I am writing as someone who actually rather likes leather jackets (especially the vintage, classic timeless style of leather jacket); actually, I think it is looks great. Well wear.

Just got this in the mail today. From a company called Casewise. Only $9.99! Looks like the same case exact Spigen sells but it works just as well.

It's actually the second one I scored from eBay. The first one is more like a blazer but the same color leather and comes down past my seat. I love it.

I had to order these from Amazon and Ebay. Normally I prefer to buy local, but I couldn't source them here even with my contacts in the industry. I was surprised how hard it was.

I'm about to shut down and install them. Wish me luck!

 

[M0esmac]

Managed to get mine reserved in my local Apple Store. In and out in less than 5 minutes. They did not have 128gb unfortunately, had to get 64gb. Couldn't wait anymore.

Picked up Kentucky Route Zero season pass from Steam while it was on sale for 50% off, haven't played it yet, but have seen plenty of praise for it:

550 MBs seems pretty shatty for a pci based ssd storage. You could get that with a standard sata 3 connection easily without paying extra. doesnt seem worth it to me.

I think that's because it's just a PCI SATA3 card.

Exactly. I already had a Crucial M500 960Gb that I wanted to get the benefit of SATA 3 with. The old Mac Pro only has SATA 2.

Nice city!

And espectacular hotel.

30th Anniversary Collection

Nice. Like it.

But the statue seems a little od from this perspective. Like Slimer would rape the Ghoustbusters sign and he shows high emotions and pleasures on his face.

Heh, that looks similar to the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel in Dubai.

iPhone 6 is too big for me, so I went from the 4 to the 5s.

I think I still prefer the looks of the 5s to the 6. :/
