More RM Williams, this time black:

A cinematographer I've work with wears a pair of RM Williams Chelseas pretty often, they're really nice. Considering getting a pair myself one day.

Bought a new light meter. It's pretty sweet, much better built than my Sekonic L-308 (but not as compact):

Billy looks like a prick.

Can't wait to get back to Maui!

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? Everywhere I look, it's either sold out or they're asking ridiculous prices (like 1080Ti prices for that particular card on Amazon). THANK YOU BITCOINERS.

Well I put down a pre-order for it on June first and paid £247 (about$315). While I was waiting for it the place I ordered it from increased the price of my card £80 overnight to £329 (about$420). So I think I got lucky since I still got charged the price it was when I pre-ordered.

This came in, a 5 foot extension cord. Well, it's 5 1 foot extension cords to be exact

 

[TB]

It's like extension cords for ants.

 

[gnomefromnome]

It's a space saver actually. You know those blocky power adapters that block the other outlets on a power strip? Just plug these 1 footers in the power strip, and plug the humungous power adapter into the ant size extension. No more blocked outlet.

Picked this up. Sennheiser Game Zero Headset. Pretty great!

You guys with your lame Blipshift t-shirts need to step up your game.

Yes, yes. I'm old. I know.

 

[W3H5]

Yes, yes. I'm old. I know.

Indeed.

Blipshift shirts, to me, while pretty cool, are nothing more that band shirts for petrol heads.

I had no idea this was a thing. Now that I know about it, it does not surprise me that it is a thing, but still surprising. I will probably look at my power strip situation when I get home and see what it looks like and if this would help. 👍

Two PS1 memory cards and GIMX for my DFGT:

Well I went to Best Buy today. I've been researching 4k televisions and soundbars for a couple weeks now. The soundbar situation was way harder to figure out than the television. So I ended up buying this:

It's an LG SJ9 soundbar with subwoofer and it's atmos enabled. It sounded great in the store, it's probably way overkill for what I need.

I ended up getting about $300 knocked off, because of the other half of the purchase, which is a LG OLED 55C7P. It's only coming next week, but I'm super excited about it. Today was the first time I got to look at one in store, and I was blown away by how great it looked. I can't wait to game on it, this years model has really low input lag. I've been waiting to buy a 4k television, so I went all out on this one.


My only concern was maybe some issues with image retention or screen burn. Screen Burn is supposed to be rare, but it has happened. Which is why I also bought a 5 yr warranty, that covers everything from screen burn, to the remote control.

I'm not a huge Best Buy person, in fact it's the first time in probably 8-10 years I've been in there, but that deal where you can get 24 month no interest financing on home theater purchases is pretty great.(that's only for your first purchase)

Just make sure you have a decent credit score before you apply, if not you'll get stuck with a $300 credit limit.

That Gimx, is that a thingy to make it compatible with the PS4?

Also.

A set of el cheapo led lights for the Pickup. Just to see if they are really that bright.

 

[ToyGTone]

That Gimx, is that a thingy to make it compatible with the PS4?

It's an adapter, I still believe I need a pc or laptop or raspberry but yep, I'm trying to see how it works on my wheel.
Will post the results once I receive it.

Excellent. I'll wait and see how GTS turns out, if that tickles my shickles, I'm buying that thingy and a Raspberry too.

 

[Eh Team]

That Gimx, is that a thingy to make it compatible with the PS4?

Yes it is, and as mentioned above an outside computing source is required but it works darn near flawlessly. I've used it with both a DFGT and G27, best cheap fix I've ever used in my whole life.

No pictures, but two tickets to see Muse, Thirty Seconds To Mars, and PVRIS next month. Muse is my better half's absolute favourite band, and they're playing practically around the corner from us. She had originally written it off... but my favourite band, LCD Soundsystem, is playing in town in December. I slept in and forgot to buy tickets when they released today, missing chances at general admission (and I don't want to sit).

She scooped some up at a premium, so I figure the least I could do was return the favour.

They (Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars) were here in St. Louis a couple weeks ago! I wanted to go, could have got tickets, but it was an outside concert and near a hundred degrees. Screw that!

Yeah, this is an outside event too. Crossing my fingers for reasonable weather!

LCD won't be, but that's because it'll be December. In Canada.

 

[TB]

I saw Weird Al and Sheryl Crow (same venue, two different shows ), at an outdoor theater. Short of the mosquitoes and the little bit of rain during the Crow concert, it was awesome.

Good luck with the weather, @SlipZtrEm!

I know the feeling of hoping for good weather at an outdoor event cause I'm doing that right now. I'll be going to the NHRA Nationals tomorrow, and the weather sucked there today (only just started racing an hour ago according to the track's Facebook page) and not looking forward to getting home at 2 am like I did 2 years ago because of delays. At least they so far are predicting it to be good weather, so hopefully it'll be a good day for me.

Oh, buy the Raspberry anyway. They're cheap, and they're fun!

 

[Cowboy]

Aw yes

 

[Terronium-12]

Because it was time to end the charade.

Now the wait until July 18.
