More Sex Toys

Besides the vibrating electrical vagina here’s a few more sex toys I have accumulated over the past month.

• Samsung Series 7 52″ LCD TV: Lovely little bitch this one. Bigger than I had originally intended but the price was good.
• Onkyo TC-SR706 AV Receiver: Again I got a good price I feel on this one. I’m yet to accumulate the speakers but it’s a start. Only just plugged it in tonight and I still need to get at least one more HDMI cable so my existing DVD player hooks up alright.

So yes, with those devices my “controller” collection for downstairs is at 4 remotes and will have at least one extra once I add the PS3 in due course. I think one of the next purchases will be a Logitech Harmony One remote to consolidate those…but only after I let my bank account recover just a little bit. That and I need a second switch, the before mentioned PS3, some speakers + sub etc etc. Should keep me busy. PS3 and Speakers are the priority so I can make fuller use of the TV. Ohh and I want a home theater PC and when it comes out I may get the new iPhone too although at least that’s on a plan.

New Toys – A Story Of Economic Stimulus

Well nothing big but I’ve bought myself some new toys the past two weeks or so so I figured they are worth mentioning here. Thankfully they are all basically covered by that $900 K. Rudd payment.

• Audio Technica ATH-A900 TI headphones. These are the crown jewel of my latest buy. Wonderful sounding headphones and I must say I’m really happy with them. Infact they have left me wanting to replace my Sennheisers.
• Fioo F5 Amplifier – A small $18US amp I bought for the hell of it. Really just a toy to try but it may actually be useful for when I’m on the road. Ad like 4 by 4cm it’s pretty minuscule. That said, it’s usefulness is lessened by my…
• Mini 3 audio amplifier – A more serious amplifier which I’ll be using for non portable listening in the office. At around $150AU it’s relatively cheap as far as amplifiers go and apparently is a very good amplifier for the money and can compete with more expensive ones when you disregard features like DAC’s and the like. I could have got it for a bit less as a DIY kit but for the extra $15 I figured I’d get it pre assembled as the amount of electrical products needed to actually perform the soldering would have offset any real price savings.
• iPod LOD – Not a product as such but parts to build a line out. This is purely for the amp as it makes no sense to make use of the iPods amplifier if I have a better one. Thus I will build this myself (sice they are expensive to buy) and hopefully it’ll work out alright. Basically allows me to bypass some of the iPods audio chips.
• Logitech Quick Cam 9000 – New webcam cos I’d like to use Skype and the like a bit and my previous cams are aweful. I love this baby but. May not get used massively but ultimatly something I’ve wanted for a while.
• Logitech G9 – A second G9, this one for work as i don’t like my mice there. I know it’s weird to spend that much on a work mouse but I can take it back home any time I want too so it’s not a complete waste. I use the work comp 8 hours a day so it seems worth it.
• Razer Goliathus Mousepad – For the G9 basically. A no brainer that a mouse pad is much much better than using the desk. I emplore anyone that uses the desk to try using a decent mat for just a few hours. At $20 a mat it’s not exactly expensive either and makes life MUCH better.

Yearly Update

Starting off, thing’s have been a bit slow as of late so I haven’t had a huge amount to say really. Life goes on as normal. Soundwave last week was great and NIN was absolutly epic IMHO and it’s a shame to have heard two days prior that the band will be going on hiatus later in the year. With them and Janes addiction doing a tour of the states I really wish I could go over and see two or three shows but that’s about as likely as me brushing my teeth in the next thirty seconds.

Besides that works going well. Things are picking up and by Friday we will have a feature complete build that after some testing will be shown at a convention in the states. Pretty hard to believe I’m in a way shipping my first real product and theses only three developers working on it with an entire company focusing on that product atm. Interesting times anyway.

Besides that just looking for accomodation and a place to live so I can get out of here. Looking forward to that.

A Bit Late…

Firstly I’ll start off with wishing everyone a happy new years. Yes I’m a week late but in the scheme of things who really cares.

Anyway the first thing that has caught my attention is the news that McDonalds will be offering free WiFi in basically all their stores around Australia (http://www.freewifi.com.au/listing_mcdonalds_summary.php?rowOffset=1&listing_type=paid&name=mcdonald). IMHO that totally kicks arse and will make life easier and cheeper whenever I need to access something on the net via my phone or laptop so three cheers to that.

Moving on Windows 7 seems to be going the right way. It’s running as smooth as one could imagine on my laptop despite the overly long process that was getting the system to recognise the cd. Seems for whatever reason either the media or burning app weren’t setting the disc up to be bootable by my laptop. Anyway I eventually got things going and I must say I’m quite impressed with the OS so far and it seems a very nice yet logical progression from Windows Vista. The new Super Bar will take getting used to as will a few other things but overall it seems quite good. Worth grabbing a copy.

In regards to films I’m going to say Diary of the Dead is the best film I have seen all year where The Day The World Stood Still is the worst. I’ve only seen two movies but any frankly it wouldn’t take much to beat TDTWSS given it was so absolutely crap. Ohh and game of 2008 goes to Fallout 3, awesome game and I can’t wait for the expansion for that which is due any week now.

Onto stuff outside of the tv or computer stratosphere work has been good if not a bit busy since I began full time just recently. I just did my first Saturday shift yesterday if thats any indication as to how busy things have been but I’m not too fussed as my Coast holiday starts in a fort night and I’m really looking forward to that. Unfortunately I have that one course at uni to finish but It seems it’ll cost me 4 hours max a week in terms of work time. Not ideal but I’ll see what I can do. Hopefully I can skip the lectures completely.

Anyway I’m off to play Far Cry 2.
