Thanks! Yeah, I went though a weird moment where I wanted to change the wheels, but I do like the color they are now. Plus I think it would be sacrilegious to put Plastidip on Works.

You just fucked up my world. Now I don't know what's real anymore.

hehe it depends on the mood I'm in I guess. One day a shot will look awful to me and the next day I'll be like, "hmm that's actually pretty nice".

UGH! NO! It feels like an eternity! I've had my rims and tires sitting around for like 4 months waiting for these. They were supposed to be in at the end of March, early April lastest and now it's almost May. If they weren't such a good group buy price, I would be asking for a discount for having it take so much longer than expected. Though it would be nice if they did that anyway.

that's why I have my card full of old ones. Especially since you can touch up a shot, reframe it only slightly, and get a totally different feel, 'old eye' shot, with 'new eye' style.

That sucks! I checked the GB thread a little while ago and Josh said he was expecting to have them earlier this week. Oh well, I'm sure he's doing all he can. I know what it's like to work with ocean lines and customs and it can be a nightmare.

The XLR8 ISC N1 Coilover GB.

I need to figure out how to archive certain albums in my iPhoto library on my external HDD. Everything is on my Macbook's HDD and it's maxed out.

I was talking more about dealing with the paperwork to get stuff through customs and also having to deal with delays and other BS from the ocean lines. They're ruthless.

I have the first aluminum unibody Macbook (13") that came out a few years ago. Still runs strong. Looks exactly like the current 13" Macbook Pros.

Yeah, I keep waiting for them to announce something significantly new to their MBP lineup. It's not like Apple to keep things unchanged for this long hehe.

Yeah, I heard that too, although I do use my optical drive from time to time. I also heard a rumor that they might integrate 4G into their future laptops. It's an interesting rumor, but unless Verizon and AT&T start offering unlimited 4G plans, there's no way I'd subscribe to that service.

13" is a great size for traveling IMO. If you're doing a lot of editing or multitasking, you may want more real estate, in which case you can just use an external monitor of your choice.

For travel, I think the 10'1 of the new tablets are plenty big.

John, you don't watch shameless or you'd know what I meant.

I have a 13" also, it's a little smaller than my old Dell (15") but the 15" MB was like a huge jump in price. Right now they offer 13, 15, 17. 15 would be a pretty happy medium I think.

^Agreed. My iPad is a great companion on airplanes. I send a shit ton of emails when I travel, so I gotta have the laptop. Speaking of travel, I'm heading overseas tomorrow morning (5:40am flight), so I'll be off the grid for a little while. I can access AZ when I'm in China, but it's ridiculously slow. I'll try to keep this "chat room" alive while I'm away hehe....

Thanks guys. I'll try to post pics from my phone periodically. Let's see how quickly I can burn through the data roaming package I added to my AT&T account.

On a funnier note, I'm bringing my Jeremy Lin jersey to China. Can't wait to wear it and see what kind of looks I get since I tower above everyone there. I may buy a basketball to walk around with too.
