Does Chase bank suck or do they all do this?
I agree with the comments on USAA and ING Direct. USAA is only for military, but ING direct is for anyone. ING Direct is an online bank, but if you call them you will always get a call center in the US.- waffles

I was hungry...
Ok, the octopus looks really good. There is something intriguing about eating an animal that is so freshly killed that it is still squirming. That has been on my list of foods to eat for a while, I just have to go to a place that serves it. If anyone knows of one in seattle let me know.- waffles

Nokia-Fi!
I have an N85 and have been using it for a while. I plan or picking up either the N86 or N97 when they come out. I really love it. The user interfaces are all great. I started buying unlocked phones in the Philippines and moved up to buying them in the states. It seems like that sometimes not...- waffles

Does your rolex get noticed?
The main reason for me to buy a nice watch is simply because I want a watch that I will be able to wear forever. I really like the milgauss, but with that huge jump in price over most omegas, it would have to be much more noticeable to be worth the money to me. I like the Tissot watches, just...- waffles

Does your rolex get noticed?
Nice clothes and furniture were the first things I bought. Over the next year I will be finishing my home theater with some B&W 802d's. I am pretty set on everything I need. The problem is that right now all I wear is swatches. Now, I love swatches, and they get noticed a lot by girls 18-19...- waffles

Does your rolex get noticed?
I am going to buy a nice watch soon. I have a pretty decent job right now, but I am going to quit and go to college soon. I want to buy a watch right now that will last me pretty much forever. I didn't want to spend more than a few thousand, but fell in love with the milgauss. It is still in the...- waffles

Best Camera Lens Bag?
I have a crumpler 6mdh. I love it and it goes everywhere with me. It has been on a few peak bags that included technical glacier travel, and it is usually my carry on on flights. My sister has one of the backpacks from crumpler. It is a little different design than most other camera backpacks...- waffles

Studio monitor speakers with computer display?
If your budget isn't limited, you should go to a high-fi store. If you don't mind picking up an integrated amp, there are lots of much higher quality than M-audio. Most top end brands have really nice bookshelves. Focal just came out with a new Utopia line, the new Diablo Utopia and the Wilson...- waffles

Open phones on an airplane?
Tanks for all the input. I will probably get the sennheiser earbuds, either the clip on or regualr workout model. And I will pick up some SR-60's for while I am home.- waffles

Oh, the catch is that I have to have them by next friday, so I really don't trust to order them. Anyone know a chain store or anywhere around seattle that carries Sennheiser?- waffles

Open phones on an airplane?
I am going home for a week over thanksgiving, and I will have a really hard time without my new stereo for that time. I have Grado SR325i's but I don't want to travel with them. I will be in airports for a while and on a few flights, the longest being 5 hours. The main reason is so I have...- waffles

New Laptop, Stick with PC or go Mac?
I like mac laptops, have used them a lot in the past. Like you I like the simplicity and style. If you want them to surf the internet and take to the coffee shop or library thats cool... but thats about it. I know a lot of professional photographers that don't use a mac. In fact, most of the...- waffles

The Official Grado 325i Owners Club.
I just picked up my new 325i's from my local hi-fi store. They don't carry them and had to order them from Grado. Every complaint people had about them was correct. They are heavy, dont really stay on my head and aren't exactly the most comfortable headphones. The sound is worth everything...- waffles

Newcastle University
I am a little partial to staying near the water, but I wouldn't be against going inland. Do you like going to school there? How is student life there? They do offer what I want to study, so I will look more into there.- waffles

Hot Dogs. How do you eat them?
I like mine with chili, onions, cheese, and mustard. Every time I go to Chicago I have to go to the Beef and Brandy. It is on south Sate st. They have a Francheesee. It is a quarter pound hot dog fried with cheese on the inside. To top it off they wrap it in bacon before it goes on the...- waffles

I am kind of new to this.
Well I bought the 325i's. I figured that I wouldn't regret going for the more expensive, but might regret going for the cheaper. I will probably sleep with my earbuds in like I always have, that way I can leave one ear off completely. I picked up an adapter while I was there. The store had to...- waffles

Thanks ken. I have about a month. The local shop carries all the Grado's. I am not really worried about them getting stolen. I work on a submarine. I would be the only guy on the boat with them, nobody could ever use them. Are the 325i's worth the price difference over the 225's?- waffles
