My Apple Mighty Mouse (the second one I'm on, I might add-- the first died several months after purchase) is back to giving me shit again (the trackball is a piece of shit), so I went to the Apple Store today to check out the Magic Mouse once again.  I've been wanting a wireless mouse anyway, and was about to purchase one, but then decided to do some further research.  Seems like quite a few people like it, however there are issues with the promised long battery life being complete bullshit.  So rather than be disappointed by another Apple mouse and not wanting any potential issues with Windows, I went with my father's -a noted Apple whore- recommendation and ordered a Kensington Ci75m mouse off Amazon for half the price of the Magic Mouse.



It's not Bluetooth, but makes up for it by offering wired capabilities too-- inside the mouse is a cable that can be used with the USB dongle if the batteries run out or you just need to be using a wired connection.

This was entirely coincidental, but while at the Apple store, I got on the phone with my father and was talking to him about this stuff, saying "Yeah, I just read all these complaints about the Magic Mouse's battery life and ergonomics.  People on Mac Rumors are saying it's got issues and dies out too quickly."  This was right across from an employee who was trying to sell a couple on a Mac -talking about that mouse in particular-.  The guy froze mid-sentence when I said that and the couple just kinda laughed.

i read about 40 pages of it last night.  it's interesting.  it's one of those books where the dragons are super intelligent and can speak immediately after hatching.  i didn't know if i'd be really down when that started happening but the historical elements keep everything kind of grounded, i think.

i'm going to finish up the book i'm currently reading then go on to read the first of the dragon books as it's just 250 pages (by that omnibus edition)

Peter Jackson has the rights to it and wanted to do a movie, but since it'll be nine books in the end he's backed away from that and is thinking of TV for it.

The titles of those books are awful. I think I would be embarrassed if anyone caught me reading His Majesty's Dragon.

[OnkelC]

Few books:

Got another pair of Vibram Five Fingers, cause they're awesome:

[Madrun Badrun]

what do you use those shoes for?

[Raban]

Hey EB I kind of want to buy a 360 soon, especially now that I have a 1080p monitor with HDMI. Does it ever seem like the price will drop again anytime soon?

Also here are my college books.

[Cormacaroni]

More or less anything. It just feels like being barefoot (which is awesome), except less painful. Lots of Crossfitters use them for workouts, but they're also supposedly great for trailrunning, climbing, watersports etc. They weigh practically nothing so very handy for the gym bag if nothing else. And they make very cool house slippers.

It's not nine books yet. It will be. Jackson got the rights back when it was only five or six and the author has since said it will end up being nine.

Bought a couple of sub-$10 Blu-Rays at Amazon:

[Cormacaroni]

Picked this up yesterday.  My dog chewed up the other game we had for fitness.  This is much better!

[OnkelC]

A GTI coffee mug (oh pleasant anticipation of ze new executive ride ), a reprint of 1970-1979 "Private" Magazine, a few Blu-Rays and a Pioneer BDP-LX 52 Blu-Ray player:

imma be frank.

when i say i hate fantasy, it's usually because of books like this.

i also bought Dominion.

GF has a friend from college who is into Catan, so I figured I could probably sneak in some eurogames with them



the ruleset is really easy and only 8 pages long but i haven't had a chance to give it a go yet.

[TEEEPO]

hey i bought that too!

[Eric P]

it was going to be this or thunderstone, but i figured coming right out the gate with some fantasy themed deck building dungeon crawl game may be a bit much

I got them from amazon but if you buy online, be very careful with the sizing. The sizes listed correspond with the actual size of your foot, so measure your feet first. DO NOT just order your regular shoe size - it'll be two or three sizes too big.

Ordered some books:

Bought my wife her third iPod today: 16 GB Nano. She's got terrible luck with these things, but refuses to try something different.

With that said, my old 8 GB iPod Mini works just fine.

[Tauntaun]

Zuuuuuune.   

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't actually have one.

[close]

[Mr. Gundam]

I want a Zune mainly for the HD radio tuner.

I've been told I can get one when my iPod dies of natural causes.

[Eric P]

but baby, putting it under the wheels of our car NATURALLY CAUSED it to break, amirite?

[tiesto]

Speaking of Zune, I just got one of these (16gb). Can't wait to load it up with nu-disco and tech house dj sets tomorrow



Also FINALLY picked up this, even though it's my 2nd fave RPG of all time:

[Tauntaun]

Got this Monday at Forbidden Planet:



And this last night:
