I have already made the decision to never buy a physical movie ever again. I own enough physical media as it is.

you don't need toe shoes to run on your forefoot or to walk to the corner store in.

You really should have included the bosch. As someone who has gone through 6 dewalts and switched to Bosch this is easily my favorite drill.

Do You Still Showcase Your Physical Media Collections?

I have the adidas MX 680i earbuds and they are the only ear bud that isn't constantly falling out. I was actually kind of shocked how well they work and last through a work out. The only reason i got them was because the wrap arounds were out of stock.

if this was in forced it would be enough to make me consider to stop riding altogether. If I can't listen to music it's going to take me forever to go to work. Death Metal alone has shaved 10-15 minutes off my commute.

How are earbuds any different from cranking a stereo in your car?

I've got a few boomboxes, the most modern being the Eton Soulra. I've considered that TDK but unless it's really loud I don't know.

Right now I'm considering the logistics of building my own, I just need to figure out the enclosure.

expedit's all the way. I've got two full 5x5 and an old bookshelf along with some crates. Looking at getting at least another 1x5 expedit

I need to sell some records


Where Do You Place Your Vinyl Collections?

I dumped cable, for everything "now" is use OTA antenna. Haven't missed it. With regards to sports college football is my main sport but fortunately since I have comcast for internet I can stream a lot of games on espn's site. I made the switch in march and I really don't miss cable all that much. Yeah I can't watch TNT or sometimes I have to go to a pirate site and watch a low res stream but I'd rather do that than pay 100 a month for cable.


Why I'm Not Switching to Internet TV Anytime Soon

I run a Dell zino to my tv that after some initial hardware issues during the first month (dell replaced the unit) has made me very happy.

the Revo is definitely a nice option too.

I fully support this pin. I don't need to spend hours teaching someone who doesn't bother to even pay attention how to upload a photo or how to find whatever stupid file they downloaded.

Coffins - Altars In Gore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an-Py_yIn1s)

This song on repeat cuts my morning bike ride from 20-25 minutes to 12 minutes. Nothing like bulldozing death metal to get you through a workout faster

There is also the Schlage AD series, it replaces their former Locknetic's devices and offers more options the Link system. It won't sync with a phone tho.

If you're that concerned with someone picking a lock on any of these stand alone units, get a high security cylinder like a schlage primus cylinder, medeco, ect.

Also upgrading to a more commercial keypad entry lock will offer you the ability to perform Audits which is good if you have multiple pins and people accessing the door.

I use the phillips wrap around for the iphone. I use to have the Bang & Olfsens but after having a few pairs separate at the jack I gave up on them. The phillips don't really have any adjustment but they don't fall out when I'm running or lifting.

Giving A Nod To The Past With Paint

for me it definitely is nostalgia but also the hunt for a record. When you unearth a 12" you've been hunting for or come up on some weirdo shit that just blows you away that's a memory.

Physical media has a story, there is a moment of discovery that you remember. It's not hard to find a mp3. You didn't have to dig around in some basement with record nerds to find it. You didn't unwrap it and read liner notes. You just hit play.

I've got a shit ton of mp3s but I collect records and cassettes because I enjoy those formats. But I know how much work it took to get my records, that's why I have a room for them. I've lost hard drives, but all I have to do is search some blogs and I've got it back. I don't know what I'd do if I lost the records to a fire.

streamlights are garbage, I've use them at work and they always have problems or just don't last.

I carry a 4Sevens Quark Mini Cr2 in the coinpocket of my jeans, it's my favorite flashlight ever. Decided to get another one to use at work, it's so compact and bright that I don't need another shit flashlight taking up that much space in my tool bag
