Yeah, that wasn't how I heard the Grosjean radio transmission at all. Sounded like Boullier was telling him to maintain position.

Great drives from Kimi and Hulk today. And Vettel, of course.

Great race for Filippi. Really shit luck with the timing of the cautions. Hope Herta (or KV?) sign him for next year.

Helluva crash just now at VIR in ALMS... two Porsches forced each other off at full speed. One flipped like 3 times in the air and landed on top of the tires.

Mostly enjoyed this, but I think I've come to the realization that I'll never love a racing movie that doesn't use actual racing footage. Staged stuff never looks right.

Senna remains the best F1 movie ever made.

Indy Road Course event confirmed for the early part of May next year.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I guess looking back on the last 7 years and seeing all the changes, I guess I would have to say that I finally accepted I'm an adult and started acting like it.

Yup, mostly.

Cool article about the cinematography:

That's Franklin's first safe house, his aunt's place.

The first house isn't (the purple/pink one). The second (interior shot) is.

Quote from amp88 :

Great set, Ben

Thanks dude!

I tested and really enjoyed the NX300. The lens selection is small but rapidly improving. Their 30mm f/2 and 45mm f/1.8 primes are very good, and the (ridiculously huge) 85/1.4 is one of the best I've encountered. Their zooms are pretty sub-par, though, and the wide-angle situation isn't good beyond the fisheye prime.

How many ppl actually use steam in their living room???

I do.

Big Picture is pretty buggy, though, and more Steam games need full controller support.

Thanks!

Some Ricoh GR stuff from Cape Cod:

Nice to see Gutierrez finally get into Q3.

Anybody got a link for the WEC live stream? I can't find it at www.fiawec.com

edit: Nevermind, thought it was today, not tomorrow.

Quote from mythdat :

If you don't need zoom at all it might be worth looking into the fixed lens APS-C cameras such as the Ricoh GR, Nikon Coolpix A and Fuji X100S. These will give you better image quality than the RX100 but are wide(ish) angle only. The price you pay, of course... is the price - they're a bit more expensive than the RX100.

Aside from those, other options could be a Micro 4/3, Sony NEX or Samsung NX body with a prime lens - you could probably pick a combo like this up on eBay for around the same (maybe even less) price as the RX100 and it will give you better IQ at that single focal length, but it will be bigger than the APS-C compacts. Samsung NX1000 is a bargain on eBay at the moment.

Aside from these, nothing I can think of really touches the RX100 in terms of IQ for a compact camera. They're all expensive options, but along with the RX100 they really are much better than the other compacts you listed. Whether they're worth the extra £££ is up to you and your particular budget situation.

This is all dead on.

I sold my RX100 for a Ricoh GR, but I'm not sure everyone would be as satisfied as I am with the 28mm (effective) focal length.

I love one thing, when the plane crashed into pentagon, they said that the airplane fuel burned at such high temperature that there was nothing left of the plane, not a single thing, but they found the passports of the "terrorists"

Kanaan to Nationwide next season?

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Vettle still in a class of his own Great qualification from Hulkenberger, but it'll be interesting to see how many places he'll lose by the end of the race..

I'm guessing 8.

Feel really bad for the guy.

lol brits

Luca lookin' good again in FP2!

Note that the pit boxes at Baltimore this weekend are 7ft shorter.

That was some serious bullshit. Sad for Dixon.
