A while back I posted about my new PC and the kick ass video card I bought, namely the EVGA GeForce GTX 260. Turns out, one of my readers works for nVidia and he bought me a copy of a rather cool application, Badaboom. Using the GPU of the video card, it converts videos to other formats blazingly fast. I really appreciated the gesture and have already been able to crank HD video to YouTube ready MP4 formats in literally second.
Second, fellow Tampa area blogger and my good friend Greg of West By God fame bought me a Christmas gift. Now, to be honest, I thought maybe he had been to the range and picked up some brass. I didn't expect him to actually buy me something but apparently he had tired of me complaining about the lack of a BUIS on my EBR and, well, he bought me one.
It's a flip up type which means if I ever get an EOTECH type red dot, it can slip out of the way. The red dot sight I had was a royal POS. The dot is practically a 10MOA fuzzy blob and was so poorly made that each shot would knock it out of focus. What did I expect for $60?
So, now I have a fully functional rifle again (the batteries had already died). Now, I have to sight it in. Greg wants to go to an outdoor range, and it will definitely be my treat when we do.
Like I said, I've got the best readers and friends! Don't be left out of that crowd, buy me something today!
