16 kg lens
Just for laughs; is this the heaviest lens available at consumer retail? And mind you; the lens above actually exists. It’s the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens, and retails for a very cool USD28,999.00. And Amazon

Burp. Burping Hannah has been a major occupation since we introduced the bottle. (Whenever she is breastfed, she requires little or no burping at all.) I started off with Avent bottles, believing that these are the better ones (they claimed

Ling was asking the other night whether the RPG I was playing on the computer was a single or multiplayer game. Here’s the deal: ironically, while my major and life ‘defining’ work has been in multiplayer virtual worlds, since marriage

Fanboys (2009) – on rental. I’m not sure if I’m more a Star Wars or a Star Trek fan. I like both franchises for what they are and that they’re centered on very different themes, even if the most recent
I was checking out the Kinokuniya web site and saw that they had an interesting book on sale: “The Otaku Encylopedia”. I think Matt would love this sort of thing. Me, I just may pick it up for laughs.:) Book
