Heil PR40 Package - http://www.bswusa.com/Dynamic-Microphones-Heil-Sound-PR40-Package-P7628.aspx

This is a great deal, and is a perfect mic for this stuff.

OC White Boom - http://www.ocwhite.com/broadcast-arms/proboomtm-elite-extended-reach-mic-arm-with-riser-45-reach-12-vertical-riser.html

The kit comes with a boom. It is decent, I guess, but this OC White boom is badass prostyle with a 4' reach and a 15" riser that lets it live behind my monitor.

CoffeeScript 1.7 is shaping up to be a pretty kick-ass release with significant improvements. Here are the ones I'm most excited about, in order of my own excitement.

Chapter 1 - Object Oriented Design

The purpose of design is to allow you to do design later, and it's primary goal is to reduce the cost of change.

SOLID Design:

• Single Responsibility Principle: a class should have only a single responsibility
• Open-Closed Principle: Software entities should be open for extension, but closed for modification (inherit instead of modifying existing classes).
• Liskov Substitution: Objects in a program should be replaceable with instances of their subtypes without altering the correctness of that program.
• Interface Segregation: Many client-specific interfaces are better than one general-purpose interface.
