Comment Embassy Pen (Ti) (Score 1) 712

My go to pen is the CountyComm Embassy Pen Loaded with a Fine Point black Ink Fisher Space Pen Refill. I have had mine nearly two years now and it's easily the best pen I have owned. I'm hardly an expert on the subject but it really fits my needs.

The most common complaint is the cap does not seat to the back of the pen. This is an issue for some and to others a trivial problem. If you buy the propaganda, holding onto the cap will remind you to get your pen back when you lend it out.

Comment Viral marketing? (Score 1) 537

I don't know about anyone else, but when I came across this video a few days ago it just screamed viral marketing to me. I want to say I'm surprised it got as much traction as it has. The fact that it seems to have gone viral, only seems to validate my original suspicions

Something about the setup... the articulate nature of the child and the mysterious voice in the background. Honestly, on first pass I didn't even bother to finish watching the video. It had all the hallmarks of a viral advertisement

Did anyone else gives impression? Am I the only one?

Comment Gamma Seal (Score 1) 434

25 years isn't all that long of a time. I think you could easily get away with using something like a "Gamma Seal." these seals easily last 10 years with regular use. 25 years should be easily attainable. In theory they attach to any bucket but this may not be durable enough for your needs. A Vittle Vault is both durable and sealed tight from the elements thanks to a Gamm Seal. Becoming a variety of sizes and can be picked up at any pet supply store.

For good measure throw in one or two blocks of silica gel and some oxygen absorbers. I don't see why set up like this wouldn't deliver your stuff 25 years to the future and beyond.

Comment Itunes 10 is faster on old macs (Score 1) 390

I have a late '05 Mac Mini (Core Duo) that I use daily. I know its time to upgrade but I want to get at least one more year out of it. That said Itunes 9 has been running very slow. Cover flow was very choppy and even grid view was a joke.

iTunes 10 feels like a whole new program. Sure it's the same beast at the surface but it really feels like the optimised or reprogramed iTunes from the back-end.
