    Watch connoisseurs... requesting advice

    I was given a Speedmaster Pro and it's a fantastic watch. I have no problem wearing it with jeans or a suit which is something I consider a major plus for a first "high-class" watch.

    2014 BMW 335i GT - looks like a cool situational vehicle.

    I really don't understand these vehicles it does nothing better than another vehicle already available. They have to put it on a long wheel base to say it adds any functionality over the regular sedan & takes away the room in the back from a wagon that allows taller items or a dog. On top of...

    Router Recommendations for Condo

    I was going to use the second router as the access point, thus two routers. It's been a while since I've used an actual access point, but what I tried before weren't very good. I've used both Tomato and DD-WRT in the past and it looks like the router that you linked to had DD-WRT. Any reason...

    Router Recommendations for Condo

    I'm looking for some clarification on routing options for our condo. The internet is provided by the building and is distributed into our unit through a networking box in our bedroom closet (corner of the unit). There is ethernet run to each room in the condo from this networking box, but in...

    ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB71 13.3-Inch Ultrabook Opinions

    We just ordered one from Amazon which arrived tonight. I noticed from the box that it has the SanDisk SSD instead of the AData drive. I've been reading reviews noting the SanDisk performing significantly worse than the AData drive. Is this bad enough to warrant sending it back or is it being...

    Anyone have hernia surgery?

    I had a right side inguinal hernia repaired with mesh about 5 years ago. They gave me large ibuprofen tablets and anti-nausea medication to used after the surgery. Unfortunately the anti-nausea medicine made me nauseous which wasn't pleasant. I don't remember the rest of it being that bad...

    SUV vs Wagon

    We looked at SUVs before ending on a wagon. Simply decided we liked the ride better. After driving cars we preferred the sitting closer to the ground and the more stable handling. For us we also liked that it's easier for the dog to climb in and out of.

    Update: I traded in my S4 for a Mazda 5

    I've got a 2007 S4 Avant and I can't imagine trading it in for a van, however my situation doesn't dictate a need for more room and it's still under warranty. Good luck with the new vehicle. Hopefully be the time I need a replacement BMW will have made the 335 available as a wagon or Audi the S4.

    Computer Freezing after BIOS update

    After having some problems with the on board LAN I updated the BIOS from revision 1 to the most recent. Once updated the computer started freezing and would either lockup while booting or shortly after loading into Windows 7. I have reverted back to the old BIOS with original settings, but am...

    Good quality sunglasses manufacturers?

    I've got a pair of Native sunglasses with polarized lenses which I've liked quite a bit. Currently REI has a number of the previous year models on sale for ~50% off in the outlet.

    I think I just had my best beer yet!

    Just finished a Surly Furious and Bell's HopSlam the other night. The HopSlam was a limited run a few weeks ago (double IPA) which was quite good, and the Surly is one of my go to beers of choice being from Minnesota. Also, if you can get your hands on one around Halloween the Darkness release...

    MNF: Minnesota at New Orleans

    I'm still not sure what to think of T. Jack. We never got a good look at what he could do since Childress wouldn't open up the play book and let him go. He called about 5 different plays that the announcers on TV could pick up on - how do you expect to fairly rate a quarterback in those...

    Josh Hamilton knocks 28 out in first round of HR derby

    ESPN was a joke. Before the game even started Morneau was criticized for even being there. The home run derby is over, he wins and they seem to forget he was even there. Not taking away from Hamilton, it was an amazing performance, but give the winner some credit and admit he did a great job.

    Luxury SUV's

    Honestly any performance SUV I would question as a "real" SUV. If looking at performance though I would consider the FX over the BMW as I prefer its styling.

    What to do in Minneapolis for friends bachelor party?

    If you are going to be downtown there are many bars in the Warehouse district which will all be busy and most have cover on the weekends. Manny's or Morton's Steakhouses are good - another option would be M&S grill or if you are game for a Brazilian steakhouse check out Fogo de Chao. For strip...

    Suggest a watch for me to get

    I would consider looking second hand. There are some good watch forums with sales corners that will provide you a much better value than any local jewelery store and will also offer more variety.
