Nice. I have a Beta AR that I love to death and could only get because it was on a great sale at REI.
Arc'teryx, besides being great quality, just fits me really well. Most brands assume women are short, whereas Arc'teryx is the only one I've come across that has adequately long sleeves and almost always torso, too. So I just wait until their stuff is on sale for cheaper than other big brands' (Patagonia, Marmot, etc) full price. Then I don't feel too guilty, haha.
I did have a Mammut shell that fit me well, but it didn't hold up as well as I would expect from the price point and it's hard to find women's Mammut in stores to try on anyway.
Pre-ordered their new single on iTunes. Judging from the preview it's gonna sound awesome! Already got their choruses stuck in my head 
Decided to add a second switch to my network.

Sure! But I'll be receiving it in an hour or two. Though where do you live? Because the time difference might get in the way. I've noticed that MR is more active when it's late at night here.
I'm located in Maryland so it's 125am for me. Woke up cause my I found dog hair in my mouth. Very odd.
Regardless! Send over your username when you get a chance. Maybe we'll play on the weekend or something!!
Picked these up from Brookstone.com On sale for $109.00 w/ free shipping.
I've been looking into these as well. Super nice looking. How do they sound?
I haven't received mine yet, but I tried a pair my friend has and they sound great. I only listened to a few songs, but it was enough to sell me on them. I like them better than Beats by Dre. Definitely liked the price a lot better too.
Well, this is a picture thread.
Haha. True.. I meant of iPhone 5's. Nothing new, is what I meant. Not pictures in general.
Some recent items.
Ethernet cord
Some film!
Toothpaste!
Please! Stop!
I'm old and feeble, and my heart can't stand the excitement!
The toothpaste damn near did me in!

Let's be glad they didn't post the Ginger Mint or you might have coded right there in the chair!
Fuji X20
One of my 21st Birthday presents. The other being a TW Steel Watch.
I got the Fuji for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, because my Nikon DSLR and the five lenses I use are a pain to carry around in a backpack on long travels. I do still love the Nikon for my rowing club photography though because of the 300 telephoto lens I have.
Secondly, I am hopefully visiting Japan later this year and wanted an everyday camera I could carry around the streets. I would take my DSLR as well, but for more general shots I think the X20 is a far superior system.
I also just love the Retro Rangefinder styling of it too

My wife and I picked this up before our trip to Manila/Hong Kong over Christmas. Great camera.
My friend bought me a Diana F+ camera a while back and I only just started shooting with it. He also gave me a think geek gift card, that I bought this with and equally long while back that takes 35mm film. I just never got around to getting film. I have some expired color I'll use and process as B&W, but I wanted to get some Tri-X as well. So this is my recent purchase to go with some backlog of presents I was so happy to get but didn't use until now.
35mm B&W
120 Color for the Diana F+

And thanks to my inability to stop looking at wacky camera stuff, I really want to buy this one day:

It's been an exceptionally busy month. I traveled for work three weeks in a row, it was my birthday, I signed a lease on a new apartment, and loaded up on the furniture I could find on the weekends.
So, first off - whole new apartment. Just moved in on Saturday!
Bedding is all new - was a gift from my mother; even has a fancy down comforter. I have a red desk in the mail; didn't get delivered because of the weather.
The entertainment shelf is new:
The coffee table is new, and the sofa is new:
The shelves are new, and the chairs are new:
I decided I don't need cable - I live on Hulu and Netflix, so I could save a bit. Just got U-Verse Internet (24/3) installed a few hours ago, and picked up a digital antannae for locals. Also got a new router - but the installer was pretty cool and took and extra 20 minutes to wire ethernet to both my family room and bedroom, so I think I might return it.
Got some new shoes - the Strands are a bit *too* dressy for my tastes, but they're growing on me and I needed a dress-up pair.
This is kind of cheating, but never was able to post the games I got for Christmas:
I was working this week in Arizona, and instead of coming home on Friday, my girlfriend flew in Thursday night and we were able to spend a wonderful weekend together hiking, shopping, relaxing, and enjoying the sites. And because it was my birthday, she got me a framed picture of us, a beautiful Brooks Brothers tie and some new socks and a bunch of local chocolate. Only have pics of the latter:
We had a wonderful time, and it was a nice distraction from work. Got one of her friends to have flowers waiting for her when she got home.
... And finally, I *just* purchased three tickets to Chicago for my sister's 21st birthday. She wanted to just go somewhere, and this is what I could get with my SW Points.
