Eclectic junk from the four corners of the ‘Net. And pictures too!
Why buy when you can build? Sure, they have slick interfaces, nifty looks, warranties (who needs ’em?) and stuff like that but just think of the pride you can show when someone asks you what that ‘thing’ is your listening to is? (Ok, just as a suggestion, don’t house it in a coconut or a old Ronsonol can)

Successful Huygens Probe
People are fast! Next thing will be the USB controls (I hope I hope!)
What I wan’t to know how much non-Apple memory will cost for the mini. I don’t like the idea of spending $400 for a gig of RAM!
YES! The probe has reached the surface of Titan and will be transmitting data back soon.

Darn it, I still have not posted the photos from my New York trip. I have to get around to doing that. soon. I took some nice photos this time out. I even managed to grab some stereo photos from the flight there. I don’t know what the parallax would be, but we were at 32K feet and at .78 Mach (apx 520 MPH) and the photos were taken on an average of 1 second apart. The images are quite nice.
Sigh… The computer of my youth has been reduced to a joystick and a couple of buttons. I guess its better than the Atari guys, they don’t even have that. Too bad you can’t add a keyboard and a 1541 to it and relive the glory days of yesteryear… Then again, maybe its best that technology has marched on. Typing in games sucked big time.
