This week’s combo, Jimmy on Pistil.

• Urban decay. In the midst of a parking crisis in the CEGEP area, I am welling to bet that a fair share of students would be willing to pay to park in the 50+ slot parking where I took this picture. Also, urban decay makes me think of this. Cop it, it's good stuff.
• It's always awesome when you take a person's computer in telling them a restore won't be a problem, then you discover that you don't have the OEM discs and their licence sticker looks like this. In-store techs all across the nation feel my pain.
• On Tuesday, I got the news that I had a very big paper due for today. Many restless nights and 40 pages later, I managed to pull it off on time. Hard shit.
• New shipment of 35mm. Only 1 pack of Pro800Z is mine, the rest is for a friend. Ever since I sold my 645Nii, I have wanted to get my hands a 6x6 medium format cam. You know, something cheap and solid. A beaten as hell (yet functional) Hassy would be nice, but I'd be very content with a Mimaya and a wide lens.

This week’s combo: Lucifer IV on Alfred Infrared.

Last Friday was a big day for dubstep fans in Montreal: they were to be butchered up by the sounds of the infamous Excision. I wasn’t aware of this until the Thursday before, when I got the post from Montreal Dubstep through my Google Reader. I was kind of shocked that such a big name was giving a set in Montreal, and kind of pissed that I was working until 8 the very night, and at 9AM the morning after, but regardless I managed to get a friend to ride up to Montreal to see the show.

If you know gaming peripherals, chances are that you have owned a G5 by Logitech. This mouse, one of the best selling "gaming" mice out there, has become a true classic on internet forums and gaming groups because of it's relatively low price, excellent handling and comfort, and awesome set of features and kick-butt software. After two generations (3?) and many special editions of this venerable peripheral, Logitech has decided to retire the veteran G5 and introduce it's updated offspring the G500. I say offspring because it looks and feels like a cross between the more "business" MX series and the G series. Check it out.

Back in the days it seemed like D-Link made inferior products; in the time where the WRT54 was the king of the castle, D-Link was cheaper made, had a less extensive list of options available from the web interface, and generally was less appealing. Times have changed, thanks to products like the DIR-655.
