A Seidio case for my Nexus 7 - because it needs one and I am really happy with these cases.

A case for my ATH-M50's because I love them so much I am getting a second pair to take with me everywhere.

Spintires purchase on Steam.

I managed to lose my UAZ into a river, rolled a logging truck into a ditch (and stuck between said ditch a tree) and bogged the flatbed. I love it.

5.11 Shield Boots to replace my very well worn down everyday boots.

the shiny part on these peels off pretty quick and the soles love to detach, particularly around the heel or the middle on either side, around the 1 month mark, just to let you know.

Thanks for the heads up. With the amount of walking I do each day, if they don't last a month, I still have the receipt and will be letting them know. Its hard to find nice, smart-ish looking boots with a safety toe that I can walk around in lots :(

Been wanting a phone dock for my desk for a while, but didn't see the need to pay for the substantially more expensive Samsung dock that has the HDMI out on it.

Got a Fitbit Charge HR now that they're out, except in Black. Hopefully throwing money at a New Year's Resolution means I'll stick with it!

The little party the fitbit does when you hit your goal is a surprisingly good motivator. I end up doing a few more laps around work if I am yet to hit it each day.

I bought a stupid little pen to draw on my stupid little phone



Is this a capacitive pen? If so, link please, been looking for one with an actual point instead of the sausage finger crap ones that are everywhere.

DrBouvenstein posted:

Even though someone already pointed out that it has a large, flared-out portion at the end, the reason most capacitive styluses (styli? stylopodes?) are "sausage finger" sized, is because the average capacitive touchscreen isn't precise enough to detect anything finer than that*.

It's interesting that the touchscreens we're using now are, from one perspective, worse than the one that was on my old circa 2005 Windows Mobile phone.

*There are some exceptions, like tablets with WACOM built-in, and maybe the Samsung Note series?

Yeah, thanks for the zoomed in to show it has that on it. I thought there was some, albeit expensive capacitive styluses that worked. I have a Note edge so know all about the Wacom digitizer, this was for a pda I use at work, since we upgraded to android instead of the old brick resistive screens, i'm stuck with the awful sausage pen stylus.

Even so the one linked might be better and less 'sticky' than the cheap as poo poo one I have to use now.

Just wondering if they made it stick out a little or what. I'd never have a caseless phone so I thought the edge wasn't an option for me.

Nope, just curved the case around the display edge. I have used and loved Seidio cases on every device I have. I think I will lose some of the raised away from the screen protection (preventing face down impacts smashing the screen), but general protection is all I am really worried about.

Misplaced my Wave somewhere in the house and realised the saying 'two is one, one is none' applied (also how many drat times I use/need my leatherman throughout the day). So bought a smaller one to use now and then to keep as a backup when I find my main one.

I'm interested to hear how this works out. I'm nearing the end of my paper filters and was thinking of trying out the mesh.

Really liking it, the mesh filter is so drat thin I am worried I am going to break it or bend it. Otherwise I am very happy with it and prefer it to the paper filters.

Needed a new phone and got me the Sony Xperia Z3.
It's nice to know that it won't break imediately as soon as it touches water. But it does still feel very fragile with being mostly out of glass, really need to get a nice cover.

Seidio make cases for the Z3 I think.
