Decided to switch from T-bags to loose tea, so I needed a teapot. Hardest decision was getting the correct size as I/we usually only brew for one or two people. Just ordered this 700ml Vonshef teapot with infuser basket...

Very impressed by this portable daylight LED light saber thing from Opteka. It's noticeably brighter (blindingly bright) than the one it's trying to copy, the Ice Light, which costs four times as much. Great piece of kit for photographers.
 
I just bought a pair of BeoPlay H7. I had been trying to keep myself from buying them, but I found a very good deal and I had to have them :D

I also bought some T-shirts from Uniqlo here in Japan. There was 50% off, so I figured why not :p

Excellent choice! I just purchased a set of H8's a few weeks ago and I love them.

Gorgeous teapot; I would imagine that you will get lovely tea from it.

Infuser baskets are a great idea; the cast iron teapot I have has one, too.

Thanks, I just need to source some loose tea now. Im not really into fancy fruit flavoured teas, traditional tea is fine for me. So I may get some Twinings English Breakfast and maybe some Assam to start with.

Not my pic, but just picked up the Sony RX100m3 on eBay and will be using it on my vacation next week in Hawaii. Super excited, as I have always wanted an RX100 camera ever since the first one came out in 2012! Much more portable than taking my mirrorless Sony NEX-5T around.

Nice purchase! I bought a RX100M2 this past summer to accommodate a Canon Rebel T2i (EOS 550D). It is a really nice little camera and I carry it with my everywhere now.

Well, I finally stumbled onto iTunes shortly after Celestial Pictures posted a new Shaws and boy what a film to start 2016 with:

Killer Constable (1980) - Chief court Constable (Chen Kuan Tai) is sent to reclaim 200 million taels of gold that was stolen from the Empress' vaults. As he slowly tracks down small sums of the stolen loot, a larger conspiracy blossoms.

I've had an English dub bootleg sitting here for months that I refused to watch because I thought this would play better in Chinese. Lo and behold, here's the Mandarin print on iTunes. A lot of the more well versed Shaw fans hold this one in very high regard (most saying it's Chen Kuan Tai's best performance.) It's crime thriller fu and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it at long last.

A very nice surprise.

Nice little camera. Enjoy Hawaii! Easily my favorite vacation spot! What island are you going to?
 
If you're looking for a highly badass mechanical keyboard for the Mac, then I can highly recommend the Das Keyboard 4 Professional. I bought the version with the blue switches. And boy, this thing is crazy good! It comes at a hefty price tag, but after a full day's use I can already say that I do not regret having spent that amount.
