Just received two lovely - different - sets of Peugeot salt and pepper mills which I had ordered a few days ago.
eBay, seller had 2 but 1 was already sold. it's already installed in my 2012 Mac Mini and boots in 15~17 secs.

You got a great deal! I purchased the same one from newegg for $99. I have to say I'm 100% happy with it. My Windows 7 PC boots in under 10 seconds after post. Light years faster than my 640 gb Western Digital Black (spinner) drive it replaced.
Needed new speakers to go with my new LG 34UM95, so decided on these with the matching stands.
The Audio Engine speakers are amazing. I have a pair of them in white and use the built in DAC. They sound like way bigger speakers than what they are. Ill probably still add a sub eventually.

The Hello Kitty is a case for the phone.
I do hope she likes it.

That's quite a piece, I see that you are "Old School", but big advantage, no problem jammin' at the wrong moment.
Hehe, yeah, it'd make Dirty Harry proud!
However, this isn't the type I'd carry around with me, too big, i.e. uncomfortable, and far too powerful - high risk of collateral damage, and unintended targets.
I have a small .40 semi auto that I carry around when I think there might be a possibility that I could need it. That all depends on where I my destination might be. Thankfully, that's very rare and I almost never carry anything.
This Raging Bull is really more of a conversation piece than anything else.

What a lovely and thoughtful present. Let us know how the recipient likes it and wish her a happy birthday.
Yes, I tend to rather like such 'old school' things myself.
Interesting post.
I purchased a TERTIAL Work Lamp for $8.99 from Ikea, and a Conserve Energy PAR30 LED spot light bulb on sale for $7.99 at Costco. I'm using it as a bedside reading lamp. It's very bright and only uses 13 watts, but gives 75 watts of light output compared to an incandescent bulb. I'm using a Leviton inline dimmer just in case I'm not in the mood for the intense brightness.

Had these delivered while out of town
- 3 64GB Apple TVs

- 1 Steel Series Nimbus controller

The Apple TVs are great. Will probably get the wrist straps and possibly a couple more controllers this weekend.

I haven't had a TV in my room for years so I took advantage of the good deal Best Buy was offering on a Toshiba 40"
For $250 I'm extremely satisfied with the TV. The picture can't compare to more expensive sets but I can't complain. The colors seem a bit oversaturated but overall I like it a lot. I would definitely buy again.
To a certain degree a TV is a TV. Most TV's come out of the box as garbage until you calibrate it. Most inputs you setup are showing video at 1080i or 720p. I'd rather have a well calibrated $250 TV, then a $1000 4k TV that I'd still have to calibrate and is still showing 1080i or 720p content.
I'll be looking at this set tonight.
