Picked up my HP 11 Chromebook about a week and a half ago. Neat little computer for jotting down lecture notes, streaming music, or watching videos. Not at the same time, of course.
I think you'll fully enjoy it. For the <$300 price point you can't go wrong.
Post some pics when you get the chance.

A couple of quickie pictures of it hooked up temporarily to my 40" Samsung TV. Size compared to my Roku 3

Sorry, late reply. I couldn't find a usb3 model but it's compatible with a usb3 port.
LSD for my non-M E46: 2 clutch, 25% locking, 3.46 final drive. (edit: and a pretty finned cover)

I'd be very interested in hearing your impressions.
I'm getting sick of inside rear-wheelspin on my 2003 330ci. This car would be way more fun, as well as effective with an LSD. However, I don't track my car so I'm not sure I'd really benefit enough from it to justify the price-tag.
Can't help but feel that the E46 feels a bit too grown up for my tastes. That said, I think it's the best BMW design to date, especially in M3 form, after the Z8.
I will be taking it for a 700 mile road trip this weekend, which will tell me how much I can tolerate the increased rpms on the highway. Later this month I am signed up for an autocross on the 24th, then a track day at Laguna Seca on the 31st.
I expect the biggest bang to come from the 3.46 final drive. E46 330s are geared too high.
Hey...the coffee looks interesting! The Blue Tokai is a 4/20 roast...nice and fresh.
It looks like you have a great local supplier for freshly roasted coffee...a wonderful source to have nearby.
Enjoy your coffee...
I've decided to build a hackintosh. My Mac Mini is getting old but a Mac Pro would be overkill. Not that I have anything against overkill!

new mouse for the nMP...
Decided to give the MX a try since it was on sale at "worst buy"
So far so good, getting used to it. I wish though they made a bluetooth version... Hate using one of my precious USB slots. A pro computer with only 4 USB
Great choice! I bought one a while back and love it! I just got one of these for when I am traveling for work. Basically the Performance Mouse's much smaller brother. It's nice having the Darkfield sensor for various hotel desks I encounter.
Picked this up at Best Buy this morning and it's a pretty fun game! I love how they upgraded everything from the previous one. I didn't have the "bonus suits" because I like to unlocked them erm "manually" lol

Thanks, I truly am! I had turned into quite the grump after being spoilt by Intelligentsia's Black Cat, since most of my espresso blend/roast options here were Lavazza and Illy. Bloody glad I stumbled upon these 2 roasters, freshly roasted/ground coffee can really raise the bar.

Since nothing is more important than the beans/blend (the best equipment in the world can't fix bad beans), it's great that you have found a source of fresh beans.
Are you grinding yourself, or getting pre-ground?
Just a suggestion...if you are not grinding yourself, and there is any way you can manage a decent grinder, you will find that it makes a huge difference for the better. I know that it is not always possible...but if you can do it, get a grinder...it makes all the difference in the world.
Anyway...glad you are enjoying your new coffees!
This little guy, and tons of stuff for him. Huge tank, $100 worth of plants, leaves, and hides, and a radiant heat panel.
well guess who's not coming over to your house!
Incase you couldn't tell i'm petrified of all reptiles.

Look forward to your many photos of him I'm sure!
Wasn't sure what to make of these.
Not too bad. Not sure that they taste like a banana split though.
