And I just got a D-70… Well, I didn’t spend $5k either (Thanks Steve!)
A 12MB image would be nice, but I’d rather have a digital stereo camera at this point. Now there is something that the world needs! A nifty digital stereo camera, say two 3M pixel sensors, CF format, a nice LCD on the back (with optional anaglyph real time 3-D preview!) and maybe even a little zoom. I can dream can’t I?
More Mac Mini Porn
Here is a nice photo of the Mac Mini with the case off, plus a handy chart to show you what the ‘extras’ will cost ya…

The New Mac Mini
Yep, it was true, Apple is now selling a ‘budget’ computer.
Being that these little gems are tiny, 6.5″x6.5″x2″, it might as well be portable.
When I get one, I’m going to use this sucker on trips! Pack a little VGA to NTSC scan converter, the keyboard, mouse, power adapter and your set! I’ll have to either work with the video in on a TV at where I’ll be staying or I’ll use my little LCD screen. It supports 640×480, if the mini works at this rez I”ll be in business. I don’t expect I’l be doing anuthing other than saving images to the HD from my camera so the low rex should work.
I see the future peppered with docking stations with built in monitors, speakers, and whathave you in them.
Heck, use one in your car. Car dock anyone? Get a nice little IR USB remote and pump your iTunes into your stereo.
It would make a nifty brain for a robot. Anyone have a Firewre/USB based motor controler? Run it with Java… Use a DV camera as your image capture device as your vision system input…
Lots of market space for cool designer covers and skins (al la iPod).
Turn it into a DVR with a USB tuner device.
Clustering?
Wow… I’ll take six please!!!

Panoramic VR
This is a test of a WordPress plugin that will automaticly display a 360 (smaller as well I hope) panoramic image. Hopefuly the bugs will be worked out soon, it looks to be a handy addition:
