I'm not sure I could be arsed to charge my surround speakers every time the battery went flat but then I'm super lazy. It's odd to see features like acoustic lenses only just becoming a thing in audio considering B&O had them in speakers 13 years ago, the audio world is usually pretty quick to jump on ideas like that.

How does it all sound?

I won't receive the back speakers until next Monday and I'll leave them plugged in (to power) since I happen to have outlets in convenient places. Last time I bought home theatre you still had to use wires for back speakers.

I'll post an update of my thoughts on Monday. For the price they better be spectacular.

Someone recommended these in an earlier iteration of Shoe Chat, and I finally need new sneakers, so I figured they were worth a try:



Nerd shirts, one for me...



...and one for a good friend of mine 'cause she loves this poo poo:



A new 6qt cooking pot because I need something a bit more shallow than my stock pots:


(it was $23 and I fear it might be junk, but oh well.)

I also technically bought a bunch of booze on Saturday while I was running sound for my friends' band, but that was really more of a rental than an outright purchase.

Which 360 did you go with? We are currently looking into a home theater setup that we need to be wireless, and on Samsung.com everything is currently on sale....

Did you listen to these in a store at all?

I think they're the only ones that do wides besides Hush Puppies. I don't think Nike does wide? There's are usually narrow but I found a few runners that fit.

For dress shoes, Rockports make a wide that was a pretty substantial difference from their regulars.

Let's go droogs
My old bag looked more "professional" but it felt like it weighted a million pounds and it was slightly too small. Everything fits into this bag and there's room for more. For some reason it feels like it's half as heavy with the same contents. Only downside is the fact that there is less pockets/zip pockets than I would have wanted. As a highschool teacher this thing is still the best I've found other than an actual backpack but I prefer the look of messenger bags since backpack make me feel like I'm a student

It's half as heavy because it's made with nylon and not leather.

While there was some leather on my old bag, it was more than half nylon. And while it was a bit heavier than this one, once full with a laptop, a few school books, planner, etc. it doesn't make that much of a difference. I think it's the fact that the strap is a bit wider and the easier adjustment method that make it feel lighter. There may be other things at play though

Just bought the Samsung HW-K650 3.1 and 2 Radiant360 R5's... Soon we will buy some more of the R5's to fill out the other room's in our house.


Also just paid someone to come and pump poo poo out of a tank in our bank yard... Not as fun of a purchase as the above.

You can type in a 10 digit number all at once by using 1 finger per column. So with essentially 4 presses you can add/subtract two 10 digit numbers. With a modern calculator you have to type in one digit at a time, so the same operation would take 22 key presses.

For accounting work, the saved time really adds up. There are youtube videos around showing pros using them and it's really impressive.

I bought a bunch of glittery fancy pants stuff from Michael's Crafts because god dammit, if you're coming over to my house to do roleplaying games you are going to make silly nametags for yourselves and there will be trinkets and poo poo and potions in real vials, etc.

Also this! (Tash-Kalar, 2nd Edition, and both the Expansion Decks - yay frost people!)

R1. The prices for the others are obscene considering I needed two.

And no I haven't listened to the back speakers. I'll just return everything if they suck.

In other news, I pre-ordered this ugly thing because gently caress money
