It's all green now!

Pictures 2008/05/17 19:54 |
I didn't realize that the spring has come.  Just as any other year in Chicago, I never can tell when the spring is exactly.
Just today, after the work I took a short 30 minute nap. What a surprise as I waking up and looking over at my window.

Yes indeed, the spring is here!

I ordered couple microphones.

Music/Gears/Softwares 2008/05/16 08:42 |
I haven't had much time recording recently, but I still decided to order couple microphones.
Both of them are from M-Audio, first one is Sputnik Vacuum Tube Microphone, second one is Pulsar II matching Pair.

Yes I do have BLUE Baby Bottle and RODE NT5 Matched Pair. This might overlap the purposes, but more microphones never hurt, especially if these are as good as reviews!

I can't wait till receive them.  I'll post un-boxing as soon as I get them and reviews as soon as I get to do some recordings!

Gas Price

I know already many places in the city's regular price is way higher than $4.00... Still i can't believe where i always fill up my car is about to hit $4 :(
Seems like more and more, it's harder to afford a car that takes lots of gas =\

Another reason that I love living in suburbs.. Not only lower gas price, but clear roads!!!

Only thing that i wish is, it's a bit more winding roads... it's hard to find in chicago land area though.

    여기는 기름값이 휘발유 기준 리터당 2천원이라는 압박적인 주유소도 있더군요. 갤런당 3.99달러면 1리터에 얼마라는 소리야. 쿨럭.

  2. BlogIcon sephia 2008/05/15 21:16 Address Modify/Delete Reply

    대략 1달러를 1100원으로 잡으면(요즘 또 원달러 환율이 급상승 해서리. -_-;;) 1,155원이네요. 아직은 싸지만 미국차가 대배기량에 연료를 많이 먹는다는 것을 감안하면 그들로서도 덜덜덜이죠.

    • BlogIcon Hawon Jung 2008/05/16 08:31 Address Modify/Delete

      그래도 2배네요 >.<
      배기량이 큰거보다도 이동거리가 크다는게 치명적이겠지요?
      1주에 400~500km씩 달리니까...

  3. BlogIcon rex 2008/06/03 19:25 Address Modify/Delete Reply

    1주일에 400~500km씩이나...
    기름값이 한국 절반이지만 그래도 장난아니겠군요.

Finally, a very long long waited spring is coming-

Pictures 2008/05/12 20:37 |
Yes, if you ever lived in Chi-Town, you would know.  You'll still have shovel to clean the snow till end of may. 
It is still pretty darn cold, it's been only very few days actual temperature hit 70s and i know it by looking at forecasts, i won't have luxury of 70s for another week or two.
It's okay, I've been here long enough now.  Today, I definitely felt spring is around the corner now.

I loved the sun shining down today a lot.  It was a beautiful day.  Can't you feel the spring is coming soon???

Uggh, I hate constructions.  I do not like chicago traffics in spring season.  They always have to fix up roads after winter due to salt damages... My normal commute to work is about 15~20 mins.  It isn't too bad but cause of constructions now it takes about 30~40 mins easily.  If I'm unlucky, it can take up to an hour :(

The traffic jammed both way... oh well, at least the weather was great- I enjoyed a long commute today haha.

Good bye Canon PowerShot SD870 IS

Tech 2008/05/11 20:49 |
I'd say good bye to my 4th digital camera, Canon PowerShot SD870 IS
The reason I bought this camera was I lost my second one (Canon PowerShot S70) and I needed one for the moment.  I quickly bought Nikon S51, returned after a week and half, I wish I kept that one then I would not considered to sell it at all.  I spent another $100 to get SD870 IS.  I liked it in general. It is small powerful, and puts out pretty good pictures.  BUT I found my PowerShot S70 after a while, my dad put it in garage and didn't remember that he did ugggh, and i rarely take pictures these days.  So I decided to sell the newer one cause I still like the big brick like my S70 haha.

Thank you for serving me well over 500 shots of pictures in about 8  months. Hope you'll be a lot more useful to next owner.

    카메라 찾으셨군요~
    그래도 8개월동한 함께했던 카메라 떠나보내기가 아쉽겠습니다~^^

    rex/예 찾았어요- 오래된걸 팔까도 했지만, 왠지 모르게 전 brick이란 소리듣는 ^^;; PowerShot S series가 더 좋더라구요.

The Best Honda Civic Ever Made: 08 Mugen Civic Type-RR

Car 2008/05/10 17:50 |
such a gorgeous civic, but unfortunately it's all sold out already.
They only made for 300 and it's all gone in 10 mins!!! the price wasn't that cheap either. It was about $50k in USD.
The Power 243 hp at 8,000 rpm; 160lb-ft at 7,000 rpm from 2.0L K20A DOHC I-VTEC. Probably the best 2.0L engine out there.

Oh well, one day i'll not being lazy anymore.  Anywho- I'm doing well and still alive.
