At the shooting range.

Now that's a video I can watch.

Constructive advice, your grip angle is all wrong. You also need a more firm grip. It's too sloppy. Plus, you need to point your thumbs at the target like you're trying to shoot it with them.

Oh, and practice, practice, practice! 👍

BTW, what tactical light is that?



EDIT: Forgot, my Nitecore i2 charger and RCR123A batteries arrived. Tried out the batteries and they work well with my new flashlight. Charging them for full power, now.

Thanks for the tips, I'm a pretty beginner shooter. That was my friend's gun I'm not too sure what light it is. It was a laser I think! You should post some pics and vids of yours!

ProudProducers.com had a Black Friday sale combined with a clearance, so I got myself a couple of long-sleeve shirts and their entire bookmark collection.

First shirt. If you are reading this post you should be able to figure it out. If not, scroll down. All the way. To the bottom.

Second shirt. I was going to get the "I am. I think. I will." quote from Anthem, but my wife saw this and said it better represented the attitude I took toward dealing with my major heart issues and losing my job over the last two years. Basically everyone was telling me I should grab a Disability check and not work because in this job climate and with my health who would let me work? I think at one point I even said, "Who is going to stop me?" as I was determined that I would continue to work for a paycheck of some form, even if I had to do some online thing or try creating my own business (I had scoped out some local franchising opportunities).

And finally, the full collection of 16 bookmarks.

Love the Coke bookmark.

So, on Black Friday I had a stroke...of genius!
I bought a copy of LittleBIGPlanet Karting, which is a brand new game, but awful (Ch1potle agrees...)

The more I try and play LBPK the angrier I get. I doubt they can save it with any kind of a patch even. They should be ashamed.

So the next day I returned it without a receipt and I got PS Allstars! It's amazing.

Also bought a GBA SP for $25 because, $25 and came with 8 games...which I didn't want so I traded in at the game store and got ModNation. It's not fabulous but it's decent.

This weekend I am trading a Wii and LEGO set for 2 sets of the 5 Pokemon Gameboy games! I will sell one for $60 and I have the London Olympics PS3 game-brand new-on hold at a store for $30.

And I also bought this bike because it was $10! TEN DOLLARS! Needs new rims and tires and tubes but still. It was ten bucks.

Finally I'm going to get a PSP charger which I need.

I love CL.

Bought two used 1:24 scale models of the 1984 Ferrari GTO and the Mercedes 300SL for a total of $21.40 with tax. Good condition and they are Christmas gifts to my nephew.

With tracking motor. 👍

I need me one of these!

Seriously though, my daughter is 4, and just getting interested in space and the planets. Also I am a proper science geek. I love anything to do with space, I also know a fair bit about it all. So as you can imagine, my daughter asking questions about it exited me a little.

Any suggestions for a beginners telescope, but one that isn't naff. I have about £200 to spend

 

[Dennisch]

I can't give any tips, as this is my first scope.
But I wanted one with the motor, because I want to take nice pictures of space.

 

[Boffin]

Picked up one fo these bad boys:

And some dongles:

Seeing as I have a secondary monitor and I can't have wireless in my house. Then I'll need to pick up some software... Phew - this whole Mac shebang is getting fair pricey!

i just saw this of your post at first glance and thought you would present us your newest bong with aiming device

 

[Sureboss]

New phone. Also switching from T-mobile (after 5 or so years) to GiffGaff, seem to have a very good set of packages.

It's PlayStation Certified, so will be interesting to have a play with that.

Is that the Experia T?

 

[Sureboss]

Nope, it's the S. The T didn't seem to justify the extra £80 to me.

When the time comes to buy a bigger one, I'll keep that idea in mind for this one. 👍

Playstation phones are ace! I had the Experia Play. The controller was brilliant.

Waiting for the Play 2, then I can get rid of my iPhone 4.

 

[Sureboss]

Yeah, this doesn't have the controls of the Play, so it'll be interesting to see how the on-screen stuff works, but hey, it's a bonus.

Truth told, I miss the controls. Kinds spoiled myself really.

I don't play games on my iPhone because my thumbs take up a lot of the screen, and if its a game that requires 2 thumbs, I'm screwed.

Really want the controls back.

Sounds like you need to Joystick-It.

Eww gross it's VGA

You still have the problem of not being able to see all your screen. I'm the kind of person who gets irritated because something may be covering a corner of the TV.

The idea of a controller that you fold away, is brilliant.

 

[nick09]

Even one that you attach and remove is great! Too bad they demand $50 prices or more. Personally I can't see myself spending that much to play emulators for fun.

Do they have one of then for iPhone? A proper controller you can attach?

 

[Solo]

I've just done basically the same thing, Orange to GiffGaff. For £12 p/m unlimited texts, unlimited internet and 250 minutes is a great deal for my usage!

I believe they have one for the iphone 4(Not sure about the other versions) called the icontrolpad. Apparently they make a universal holder but I don't know what it works for.

You haven't bought an overpriced MagSafe 2 adapter yet? Shame on you.

 

[Boffin]

Eww gross it's VGA

I find there is no difference bewteen VGA and HDMI on my external and both HDMI ports are being used. Easy choice really.

Wellllllll no... not yet anyway. When living on campus, there are that many mac users that it could be a smart idea for if I wan't to charge on the go outside my room, but I am hoping the awesome battery life will serve me as long as I need to be away from my room.

Another week, another pedal purchase. I've really got to stop doing this, anyways it was a great deal on Ebay - $34 + shipping. Also my first purchase on Ebay! The following picture is from the ad on ebay:

It's a Dearmond Model 602 Volume Pedal, which I've been looking for one in good condition(like this one is) for a while. Any fans of Pink Floyd or David Gilmour will be interested in the fact that this same model was used for the Live at Pompeii film, as well as in the studio to control his Fuzz Faces. Should be here sometime late next week. I'm so excited even though it really doesn't do much. I'll also add that it's my first piece of vintage gear.
