Shit. Just heard a transformer blow.

I wasn't expecting to loose power this early.

Got some decent pictures of the sun setting and clouds quickly moving in with some wind.

awesome

I will be fine, until the power goes out. Then I'm going to be bored as shit (not to mention freakin hot). My wife has to work at the hospital until Sunday or Monday, so I'm kind of on my own.

Shows predicted wind speeds for your area. Mine says max sustained of 79 mph right now. Don't know how accurate it is, but I guess it could be helpful.

Nope, not gonna go anywhere.

except maybe to target for batteries and dvds.

Don't go to the Target on South Main. No batteries, water, bread, or peanut butter. Plenty of DVDs though.

nope

My wife is working all weekend at the hospital. I'm at our house for now.

What about you?

I know here in Austin and ABQ i noticed everyone was of a older persuasion. around 28 and over. But that may not always be the case. Just in my experiences everyone was older, and no one stood out among anyone else. No cliche' punk rockers, but just average tshirt and blue jean wearing individuals. All holding beer of course.

Seconded. Except when I saw them, it was at a college bar, so people were a little younger.

But yeah, what he said.

Left Baton Rouge after the LSU game around 2:30 heading back to Houston. It's now 9:00, and I'm around 15 miles out of Houston. It should have taken 4 hours.....but it was worth it to see the Tigers :-)

I have a Nikon D200 and Fuji S3. Like them both. But like Shane said, don't let the number of megapixels be you're only factor in deciding on a camera. Read reviews, and try to buy from a place that will allow you to return the camera if you decide you don't like it.

we used to use S3s at work and i hated them. the battery life was terrible. we just got those new S5s and they are a lot better. i'd still rather have d300s though.

I mainly use the S3 with DC power, but my experience using rechargeable batteries has been fairly good too. Maybe some batteries work better than others?

I've heard mixed things about the S5. Not that it's a bad camera by any means, but that it almost has too many settings (or something to that effect)? I haven't personally used one yet though. Can you tell me a little bit about the differences between the S3 and S5?

Well, I was supposed to leave tomorrow for Baton Rouge for the LSU game. Looks like I'll have to wait and see if they announce if it's cancelled or not.

I sent him an email a few days ago, and he said he's expecting them in around a week or 2.

I have a big glass bowl of matchbooks. I try to get new ones when I'm in a different city or at a nice restaurant.

And porn.

So apparently there is now a Houston date for this tour. I have no idea when this was announced, but I'm damn happy about it.

I haven't bought a madden game in about 4 years, so I'm kind of liking it. I still prefer NCAA though.

Still running a launch 360 here. Yay me.

There is a college one in the college football thread if anyone is interested. Just sayin'.

good deal, I'll check it out.

And they didn't really have anything I was looking for or was that interested in. Should I bother going to one of their other locations, or are there some other stores that you guys can recommend?
