I ate a chili pepper and when I woke up, this site was here.
Websites
Around Summer 2002, I was spending money on nothing but bills for school and who knows what. My brother had just gotten Scars, to which my impression was "that's really dumb to spend all that money on sunglasses", but then I tried them on and really noticed the difference in quality. I'd never seen a lens be so clear before. My comment was Everything looks like the Autolevel function in Photoshop. What a nerd I am sometimes. At that point the Splice came out and my brother wished he had waited and gotten that instead. So one day when I was at a cookout playing hooky from work, the one shred of champagne taste that I had kicked in and I decided to get a pair
After that, I got a pair of minutes, but they were too girly and didn't look like the online picture, so I gave those to my sister and then got a pair of leather Mars, since they were so odd. That lead to a pair of 24k X-Metal XX's, and a Time Bomb. Then on and on and on. Once the site took off, it was all over. I think I had a dozen or so when that happened.

Nice. Looks like it has some Trillbe influence

That logo hasn't been used since the mid 90s, and Phillips screws are seldom used.

Excellent collection. I love all the mid 2000s glasses. Certainly a great Era.

The corrugated cardboard came out between 1994ish until 1997 or so. Then the solid black boxes took over which had the grayscale photos. Those persisted until the goldenrod Era of the early 2000s. The clear boxes precedes this. You mainly see it on the jackets, and 90s wires.

Just realized, it's been 10 years since I scripted my X-Metal overview. I'm going to start chipping away at that. Just found the Adobe voice enhancement AI tool, so that's going to make a huge difference.

Not just yet for still photography. I got a 1 series traditional DSLR, and based on my prior camera, it should last me 10 years

I took your advice on the small mirror-less and got that one too. Found a cheap ring light so for $7, so it's something
