This is the best **** ever. Chloroxylenol for the win. Has a distinctive smell but totally gets rid of any shoe odor. Big improvement over regular talc.
I've recently discovered charcoal insoles, seems to do the trick for me combined with light shoe wear. Not that my feet smell horrendously but living in the south of Spain makes them sweaty for sure :D
 
After spending all day yesterday sitting in the heat, I went and bought myself a little desk fan. Monitor and Hotwheel for size comparison.

I only wish it spun even slower when it's on the lowest setting so I can be on Skype and whatnot and not having annoying wind noise coming through the microphone. Every time I get a call I have to turn it off so the other person isn't suffering. :lol:
 
If only motorcyclists would extend us cagers the same courtesy.
It's really fun to deal with dumb motorcycle riders in Michigan because motorcycle accidents involving a car results in the car owner's insurance company paying for all the damages even if the motorcycle rider is at fault for the accident. That results in a ton of squib riders, and they tend to flock to sport bikes. Just yesterday, I saw a guy on a liter bike weaving in and out of a traffic like a blatant moron. Even my dad called the guy an idiot, and my dad owns two Harleys. That being said, I've watched plenty of car owners (especially morons on their phones) almost take out a bike due to sheer stupidity and inability to pay attention to the road, so it really goes both ways.

You get idiots who drive all kinds of vehicles.

I have seen truck drivers who blast through red lights and other truckers back up him and use "ever tried to stop 50tonnes" excuse.

Nice 👍, not a sticker man myself but a good message.

Anyway for me.

Coffee mug.
Do you mind if I ask where you purchased this from? My girlfriend is into photography and owns a D90. She was talking about how she wants a coffee mug for work recently and I think this would be perfect.

Overstock has one, I'm sure amazon ot thinkgeek might, amongst others.

And @Shaun, I'll see your Nikkor and raise you a 24-105L mug and a 70-200L thermos. :D

Just off eBay mate.
My local camera store has them also at double the price, the eBay one may be a copy of a copy though, I'll know when it turns up. :lol:

@TB

I did also consider the Nikon 70-200 version also but thought it may be a bit large for my needs but now you have laid down the gauntlet I may have to reconsider..
 
I recently (in the last few months, I guess you can call that recent) switched into a Canon system after being with Nikon since I began photography.

My new Mega Gallade Plushy just arrived today.

But what I find funny about the plushy is the box that it came in.

Lmao a Plushy based on a Nintendo character inside a Minion box. :lol: It's normal for a Pokemon Plushy or any items not related to Despicable Me or whatever to come in boxes like these though. So no big deal.
