"When the Moon hits your eye like a big Pizza Pie, that's Amore!" Tonight on my way home from work, I saw this beautiful orange almost Full Moon rising, and I had to make a stop at Signal Hill Hilltop Park to photograph this beauty! When I edited it on my computer in Lightroom, I saw the amazing details of the craters on the upper right side of this Waning Gibbous Moon! It looked like cheese to me, and then I remembered the Oldies song, "That's Amore!" Good night and sweet dreams, everyone! 🌕🍕📷 ==============================

“NASA’s Gemini is the first manned spacecraft with a computer on board. This artist’s concept shows how the IBM computer helps astronauts during a mission. Drawing at upper left: the 59-pound computer backs up the primary radio system that steers the Gemin/Titan-II into earth orbit. Top middle and right: on the way to link up with another object in space, the astronauts use navigation information furnished by the computer to steer their craft in its complex track. Lower left: the crew about to dock in space after the computer, using radar data, has guided the Gemini into position. In the lower right, the Gemini is returning to earth with the computers now issuing signals automatically to steer the planned return trajectory.”
An unexpected WIN! I assume an early/earlier & possibly rarely seen work by Douglas Chaffee, then employed by IBM.
I feel like a dumb-ass, I was clueless WRT Mr. Chaffee, nor his vast, varied & accomplished works…WOW:

Although date stamped “OCT 13 1967”, the wording of the description is much more commensurate with either prior to, or during the Gemini Program, not after.

This is me, sitting at my computer. That's actually my television, 15 feet away.
God, my phone takes terrible pictures.
My current computer setup! Obviously not designed for sitting in front of all day and valuing portability and compactness.
For Our Daily Challenge topic 'Modern.'
My car is 15 years old, I heat my cottage with fire wood, there's no 3 story building within 3 hour drive from here. Everything in this whole county is built only with wood. My town is a historical preservation district! The cell phone and computer are as modern as I can get (but its wireless and fast) ! Ten years in a fast-developing Chinese city was more than enough 'modern' life for me.
I was bored whilst working at one of my companies alternate locations... waiting for win2k3 to boot.

The second generation of the Camaro was launched for the 1970 model year running through to 1981dubbed the Super Hugger the second generation was developed without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a greater budget justified by the success of the first generation. Longer and wider than the previous generation and reputed to be more of a drivers car. Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs. The chassis and suspension of the second generation were greatly refined in both performance and comfort; sound proofing and road holding.
The performance Z28 option was dropped due to ever-tightening emission standards that spelled the end of the higher-output versions of the 350 cubic-inch V8, The Z28 was re-introduced, in the Spring of 1977 s a 1977½ in response to dramatically increasing sales of Pontiac's Trans Am, and like the Trans Am the Z28 was an instant sucessand was powered by a 350 cubic-inch V8 with four-barrel carburetor and 185 horsepower (175 horses with California emissions equipment), with most cars sold equipped with air conditioning and an automatic transmission for a comfort-oriented public. The engine no longer came with the 4-bolt main bearing engine block, forged crank, forged pistons, big valve heads and performance camshaft that had always been part of the RPO Z28 Special Performance Package,
1981 was the last model year for the second generation Camaro, cars remained virtually unchanged from the 1980 model year, he Z28 was still powered by a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8, however due to new emissions regulations the engine was now equipped with a CCC (Computer Command Control) unit for the first time. This predecessor to modern engine control modules had an oxygen sensor, an electronically controlled carburetor, a throttle position sensor, coolant sensors, a barometric pressure sensor, a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP), and a check engine light on the dash. The transmission was now equipped with a lockup torque converter, controlled by the CCC as well. The CCC could also be used as a self-diagnostic tool. However, as the goal of this change was strictly emissions reduction, horsepower dropped to 175 hp

A very late PET from 1982, the year Commodore discontinued the PET line.
It's a 4032, with 32kilobytes of RAM, and a 9" monitor.
Visible to the right is a CBM 2040 disk drive, each disk could hold up to 170k!
How far we've come. I'm looking for the IE-488 cable needed to connect the drives to the computer, anybody got one hanging around?
haha i had the best fun ever making this you will need your sunglasses for this one . it is a dark cold wet day so i decided to make mine full of colours hahaha and i learned how to make a photo huge . did all this on picknik dont really know how i decided this time to press every second button and this is what i got . i love big bright bold colours and i sure did get them . i loooooove pressing buttons to see what happens . running out of buttons on picknik to press will have to find something new to try out that is not too hard for me as i am not very good with computers lol as you can see haha
