What is your job BTW?

I'm an Electrical Designer, mostly for various hotel chains as of late, but other things mixed in for good measure - retail stores, commercial buildings, etc. Pretty much anything short of residential.

Dead Space on 360. My next purchase will surely be a new pair of underpants!

and all rolled in to one tidy post!

Big upgrade there! how many gigs is it?

Its more of a step towards another direction rather than an upgrade. The shuffle being replaced wasnt the only ipod i had.

Its only an 8gb, so im only able to carry about half my music on the go. Its brand new but its the previous generation. For that reason (along with some connections,) i was able to get it for quite a decent price, so im happy

Had my nephew help me with some new lighting in the house. I bought wire, boxes, plates, acoustic ceiling tile, recessed lighting, and various other accessories for the project. Below is the finish product of up and down stairs.

It was a long day, but with his help, it turned out great I think. I can finally see, and now I can see how messy and dirty my house really is....., time to clean.

I forgot about these two beauty's I picked up today:

Your house looks super-cosy, Pako!

It's amazing at how up-market Adidas has become. They went from a meh sneaker and court shoe company to this hip, 80s neon-o-rama in a pretty short time. I had to stop by my local Adidas store and get in on the crazy.

Adidas Dublin, blue and neon orange. More dayglo than the photo...

I'm liking the upgrades, Pako! My basement is also getting some work done. It's currently lost in transition, but coming along nicely.

I hope you picked up that Dremel before you did the house work. It is amazing how handy those things can be. We even use it on the dog's claws.

Thanks! I told my wife you said that... She's always trying to make it look cozy. She appreciated your comments.

That fireplace looks great! It's been a while since I've looked at your thread. Things are really coming along! 👍

[Tony The Tiger]There Grrrreat![/Tony The Tiger] I found myself going around looking for things to cut on.... LOL I even cut a hole in the side of my computer case, drilled some holes and mounted a 120mm fan on the inside. I love this thing. It also came with a 2' flex hose attachment. I'm going to have too much fun with this thing....

Yeah, I did a major facepalm when my grandparents ordered that claw grinder thing on TV and it was basically a dremel with a fixed attachment and a plastic cover.

I've used it on many car stereo installations, including cutting custom speaker holes in the back of an 85 Plymouth Horizon that didn't have factory rear speakers.

They can cut metal, that is all that needs to be known.

I have come to the conclusion that any specialized cutting, sanding, or polishing tool is basically a Dremel with a lot less functionality.

It is amazing how much cleaner a dogs claws will grow when you sand them down though. I at least give them credit for recognizing that claw clippers basically just crush through the claw leaving snags and causing them to grow with an unnatural curve. It is especially bad on small dogs as they end up walking on their claws instead of the pads of their feet, creating long-term ankle problems. If a dog clicks when it walks on a floor it is a bad thing. The best way to do it is to clip them down and then sand them smooth.

I originally bought my Dremel to fix the bathroom tile grout 7 years ago and I'm very glad I had it when we remodeled at work and my boss came up with an idea for rounded glass, curved top walls (which then carried through to me tinting the conference room windows curved as well). There are also around six other curved top wall in the office. Dremels definitely have there place and mine worked overtime for a few weeks.

Awesome, didn't know about this 👍

Check out the videos on PSN, its a stunning looking game and the map editor for on-line looks amazing.

It is tricky - they should add some more lights or something...

I pre-ordered all of these.

Heather bought me this and I might be buying her one too.

I also pre-ordered 2 COD:WAW but dont plan on buying those after playing the beta.
Pako I love how your room looks. Like the ultimate gaming, movie, and music den.

Thanks for showing us!

Bought nothing much today, just a cd of some local act in Malaysia.....

Gonna write a short review on the album later in the "What Music Did You Buy?" thread. 👍

Sorry, couldn't help myself (and I'm of course waiting for the Blu-ray - it's going to look and sound amazing).

12 Month Gold Xbox Live Subscription

For the Interceptor:

What does the inside of it look like?


If it's all bumpy like older glasspacks then you've wasted your money and bought the performance equivalent of a fart can.

Eh, it's only going to be a temporary thing while I look and save up for a real exhaust for the car.
Mind you it's going on a 4.6L V8 so it's not going to sound like a typical 4cyl fart can.

So what's the American equivalent of a ricer? A corner?

I meant that it's not going to do anything but sound different, and possibly make things worse. Those bumps on the inside make a huge amount of turbulence, which causes back pressure, and contrary to popular belief, backpressure doesn't increase engine power.

A corn dog.

No worries, I'm going to try and get tickets to the next time they are in the UK so that should be a blast, especially since all my Foo Fighter hating friends are actually listening to their music now and slowly being converted.
