  1. Kings pants sold. Bauer Reactor 4000 chesty, Brian's collar, and NME3 mask added.
  2. I had mine done at -1. Much more comfortable
  3. Video from last night's pickup. Again pretty happy in general but it's becoming more and more obvious that I haven't been working out lately. I'm completely exhausted half way through. I did some pretty significant editing with my second camera. For the most part I didn't show shots from the mask camera unless it was a cool view. I was also wearing the mask cam on the chin of my mask instead of the forehead. Much better angle.
  4. I genuinely can't imagine where I'd store all those.
  5. They're just making assumptions it sounds like.
  6. I'm a fan of replaceable things until the replacements become unavailable. Usually much earlier than you expected.
  7. I hated it too at first. I literally had to practice doing it. Eventually got used to it. But if it doesn't correct your vision (how?) then I guess never mind. Guy in our league wears glasses with big plastic frames to play in.
  8. Video from Tuesday's pickup. I'm generally pretty happy, except for the shot I absolutely should have gloved at 1:08. I couldn't believe the puck wasn't in my glove. It wasn't even a hard shot! Also a bit unhappy about not being able to smother the puck at 3:28. Otherwise, a decent enough night considering I DIDN'T skip leg day on Monday and could barely walk on Tuesday.
  9. Not a vent so much as a whine but... Anyone else ever cut their toe nails too short and then go skate? OH MY GOD.
  10. I also switched to a 10' profile, the stock 9' was too much for me.
  11. I just had my runners profiled at a negative pitch, and that seemed to help me a lot. That may or may not be enough for you, though.
  12. At this point I'll take a pay cut to get out of this job.
  13. Hah! Oh, the Flip. I gave Cisco so much shit for acquiring that thing. I'd recommend the GoPro Hero+ ($199). It's the lowest model that will do 1080p @ 60fps. If you're ONLY using it for hockey you don't need the LCD screen (since you won't be able to see it anyway). The model lower (the Hero) is $129, but only 720p @ 60fps. Believe me, it's definitely worth the upgrade to 1080p. I didn't think it would matter but the difference is really obvious. I ended up upgrading after about 6 months. Of course if you plan to use it for stuff other than hockey then you may want one of the higher end models, but for me personally I only use it for the behind the net footage so the Hero+ is perfect for me. Oh, the Hero/Hero+ also doesn't have a removable battery (or camera for that matter, it's integrated into the case). Again, stuff that is fine with me but may bother other people. You'll want to get the suction mount to stick it to the glass. Preferably on the INSIDE of the glass (so you can move it between periods) but some leagues/refs won't allow it so you'll have to mount it on the outside. It's usually not terrible though slightly blurry, and of course you only get two periods that way. On the mask is an okay view just for fun, but generally not very useful if you're trying to use your videos to learn and improve your play. In the net can be done too, but again not especially useful for trying to improve and more of a novelty thing. By the way, GoPro is discontinuing the Hero and Hero+ soon because GoPro as a company is floundering, so you may want to either jump on buying one before they're gone, or wait until they go on clearance which I'm sure they will. If you go with a Hero+ you're looking at 200 for the camera, I think $30 for the suction mount, and another $30 or so for a micro SD card.
  14. I'm mostly just tired of the travel. And not even the actual flying part. The never being home, the being thrown to the wolves expecting to work miracles on networks I know absolutely nothing about (and are usually pretty screwed up), and then having to answer the phone at 3am when something I did broke a part of their network I didn't even know existed. I'm all for doing the architectural work but I don't want to be the guy pounding away at a keyboard in the middle of the night trying to troubleshoot during change windows. Enough!
  15. Nice! Can I make a suggestion? Edit your video to shorter clips. Too much time between plays for the viewer (me) to keep interest ;) I was dying at 1:54... It didn't appear to be a line change or anything but nobody was moving, at all! I was yelling at my screen "whats going on!!!" haha Made some great saves man. Movement is looking pretty good too. Keep at it!
  16. I'd assume they're made by somebody else, but who knows.
  17. Time for a new job. Preferably a new career. I'm SO over tech.
  18. That's exactly what they're for.
  19. Haha not exactly.... But still, pretty much exactly.
  20. Damn you, I want those mitts!
