    I'll start

    Carbotech Panther XPs for the front and rear.

    A blue tooth headset. ( After years of waiting there are now finally enough people wearing them that I won't feel like a total geek. )

    A green light from the wife to become a vendor on wrxatlanta.

    I got a kartboy short throw, a college care package, a beer pong table (from my parents!!), and some corduroy jeans. They're awesome..

    And....a 5L Mini-Keg of Heineken. ALSO from my parents!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana: I was in disbelief.

    Mostly I'm just loving being home, seeing my parents, and not having any homework to do.

    Merry Christmas everybody!

    It's like a coffee-table top one. It's a bit smaller than average.

    I don't have a working digicam right now, unfortunately.

    Ive been fiddling with it indoors due to the weather. I wanna take a few outside tomorrow. What I can tell is that thanks to the lower f-stop the DOF is a lot nicer than the 18-55 lens I have and that the glass is certainly sharp as hell :) The 1.8 was $120-130 and the 1.4 was $240 or so. Based on my research, I decided to try out the 1.8 first.

    Just a quick snap with it. The lighting isnt really adequate enough in my kitchen to shoot without a flash.

    All I got was cash, gift cards, and a quiet house for a week. Took the wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law to the airport to go to Hawaii.

    I will probably be looking for a boost gauge. Any suggestions? Want to look stock and measure in PSI so don't have to do any math in my head. I also got a 50" Samsung LED DLP TV and HD service. I love it. I saw some show on HDTHR where they were showing Italian engineered stuff. They showed how Brembos are made and had a great shot of a WRB STI on a track heating up the front rotors so the looked like red donuts. Very cool.

    Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

    I got a new Chefs knife and a Mandolin (fancy french slicer) from my parents, the wife and I have decided that we are not buying each other anything so that we can go on a really cool vacation later next year.

    I'm treating myself to a couple of tools I need for working on the Subaru.

    Wax tuna? Alright!

    Scott, these are for you. They've been resized in photoshop cs3 to 25%. This is a percentage that retains the camera's sharpness, as photoshop's resizing algorithms are known to do some funky things when it comes to sharpness. The camera settings are setup to mimic Fuji's Velvia 50 film which has quite vivid coloring. Granted, I shot my coffee cup which is brown ceramic with a gold lip you get the point. In order to obtain this vividness I am not using Nikon's "vivid" image optimization, rather, a custom setting with the color mode set to IIIa and saturation set to "+". You can see how well this lens (it is not a macro lens btw) isolates the subject as well as how crisp and sharp the glass is. You can tell that I need to do some more playing with WB settings though.
