So I installed the free RealPlayer, after going through the install to make sure it doesn’t add desktop icons, shotcuts, or change my default application with different media formats, it asked be to register the product, so I tried some bogus email addies, and they were all already used:

This is a very interesting concept… Definitely would’ve been useful when I was traveling…
Damn, this looks so good…

Nikon D200, 10.2 mp, Exclusive Preview: Digital Photography Review
Man, the D200, from the specs and the pics, looks amazing!!! I must say I am kindda tempted to switch camps. If the 5D had a vertical grip and were weather-proof, I’d be interested in that too…

iPod Nano
People are crazy about the iPod Nano, everyone either owns one already or wants one badly. If not, he or she probably owns or wants the bigger iPod. seoulfully, a recent law school grad awaiting his bar results, showed how he wanted one desperately in an e-mail he sent me:
man, i get my bar results friday! so NERVOUS!!! if i pass, my first post license paycheck, i’m not paying bills, i’m not buying furniture, i’m getting a nano!

I should’ve bought more AAPL.
Forums
Organized my delicious bookmarks to add the tag “forums” to all discussion forum links, man, there are a lot of them… I don’t frequent most of them very often anymore… RSS feed in vB or phpBB2 doesn’t work very well, but recently I am quite active back at Head-Fi and iLounge. I run Carmudgeons so I go there at least once a week…

Riedel “O” wine tumblers
So my full Waterford stemware collection is still in my house in Austin, need some wine glasses for the bottle of 2001 Mondavi Reserve cabernet sauvignon I picked up at Napa… So Amazon is now shipping me 2 pairs of Riedel O wine tumblers for cab/merlot and pinot noir. These glasses look like their high end Vinum line without the stems, and MUCH cheaper, I might even be able to wash them in my dishwasher. ๐

Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge, ABC Seafood Restaurant, Milpitas, CA
Sherry and I finally tried out ABC, it was alright, prices a bit high for dim-sum, but was good. They have kickass congee, we waited more than half an hour for them to get a new batch of congee ready, got the one with “fresh frogs”, good shit… ๐
Saturday night we went to Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge for some tapas and drinks, not bad at all, drinking here is a lot more expensive than Austin, but then Austin is like the cheapest place so that doesn’t mean much. They had hot waitresses in Halloween costumes. ๐
