Very cool mug. Just not $37 cool.
Finally upgraded my backpacking knife.
Cold Steel SRK in San Mai III
Nice knife.
I recently picked up a Spyderco ultrafine ceramic benchstone for my straight razor.
It was my birthday over the weekend, so lots of silly purchases!
MOAR purchases!
Raspberry Pi:
New 23" Monitor - this qualifies as a silly purchase because I thought my previous 20" was failing but by the time the new monitor arrived, the line of stuck pixels on the old one had vanished:

Nice. Look at what I printed today on my 3D printer (please excuse the crappy cell phone photo):
Bought last week at woot.com, and it arrived today. My Creative speaker system (8 years old at least) has been ocassionally glitchy for about the last year (the volume control which has its own cord that attaches to the back of the subwoofer), so it's been moved to the TV in the living room and replaced by this.

Awesome! So your printer tolerances are really that precise? Looks great and nicely done!
I feel like I should know what I'm looking at there.

Thanks! Although I can't take credit for the design. I spent a bit of time really calibrating the printer. I'm hoping to still refine the print quality but it's definitely getting to a point where I'm happy with the output.

Oh neat, I can open those at work with my CAD software.
edit: Hmmm... but I can't edit it. That seems silly.
48 issues of zombie glory.
And a Nexus 4 =D
Yes! I love being an early adopter!
RIGHT?
Happy Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness day, everyone!
That's awesome.

Sweet, you got the new Xbox!
Nobody break his heart.

Holy sh*t, you can TIME TRAVEL!?

Wait, it's 1995, right?
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was one of the first albums that got me into music. My parents were...had... I can't even think of what to say. Anyways, I didn't really get into music until high school and Mellon Collie was one of the first things that really stuck with me. I still vividly remember seeing the 2 CDs in a friend's CD case. They were definitely striking designs.
At any rate, I felt inclined to splurge a little bit on the remastered vinyl.

Dude, if you can't open an STL file at work you need to update your CAD software.

I am tempted to put that on my list ... beautiful

I would love one of those for my beagleboard. Right now I have it in an old plastic deck screw container.

Sorry to derail the thread, but I could probably hook you up with one of these. I don't have a beagleboard to confirm the fit though.

That would be totally awesome! I don't think mine is the xM though. I think it might be rev B or C of the original beagleboard. Anyway, I'll PM you when I get home from Korea next week and we can discuss.
Why yes, purple is my favorite color; however did you guess?
Shiny!
Take a picture of that in brighter light. I suspect that photo doesn't do it justice!

Even under bright light, the cell phone camera doesn't make much of a difference...

I actually have to say that made a HUGE difference. It looks really good in that photo.
Yeah, that's much more striking. Very pretty!
Treated myself to a Papilio Pro board. It's kind of the FPGA version of the Arduino platform. I also picked up the RetroCade Synth addon board, witch has MIDI, Audio DACs, a LCD, a SD card port, and some analog inputs for controls.
They already have a couple of cool audio chips ported to the platform including the SID and Amiga chips with full MIDI control. Can't wait to start playing with this guy.
