This is the hardware side of the NAS solution I was putting together before I came down with COVID. Will have that working shortly. This little computer compared with my very first PC here.

We use this machine at our research center to train deep neural networks and for other compute-intensive tasks.
That is some high tech right there.

I made this picture for the Inria contest on "Computing: past, present, and future". The abacus is, to me, the birth of computing.
I borrowed a camera with a very fast lens, and went to the server room of our research center, where I played finding a spot for the abacus in the middle of the computing equipment. A large numerical aperture gave me a short depth of field, turning the lights in a nice bokeh.
I did fairly little post-processing, using darktable as always. I used a local contrast filter on the abacus itself, and pushed the colors in the top right of the photo toward green.

..in west of Ireland. Old Head Beach, located along the County Mayo coastline. This popular beach is located 16 kilometers(10 miles) west of Westport town.
Taken from Noonamah area at about 0300hrs today. Clouds backlit by lightning which was probably about 50Km east of Acacia Hills.
Petri Computor 35, with CC Petri 2.8/40 lens.
Compact camera, produced from 1970 until 1974. Clearly inspired by the Konica C35, so it has the programmed shutter and rangefinder focussing, but it differs in details. The exposure metering in not controlled by a needle displayed in the viewfinder, but by two lights (green/orange) for acceptable or risky shutter speeds. They are visible on top and in the viewer.
The film speed is set with a ring around the lens and not with a fiddly ring inside the filter thread. As the camera has no dial for exposure compensation, you can manipulate the exposure very quickly here.

Cloud Computing is a 12-1 entry for Saturday's Preakness Stakes
seen during this morning's Sunrise Tour of Pimlico racetrack - HMBT!

Man, I thought this was the coolest thing ever back in the day! So much so that I've never been able to part with it. It's been sitting in my junk drawer for so many years. I was happily surprised that the two AAA batteries had not corroded and also that I found two charged up ones to replace them with. And the thing fired right up!

Congratulations!!! You made it through Visual Computing!
What a year! So proud of everyone that was able to finish this class. It was never meant to be easy and having it online had its own challenges. I hope you all learned a lot this semester and enjoyed making digital ART with me! Loved working with you all, and now because of online classes, I’m now following more of you guys on social media than ever before.
I’ll be around if you ever have a question or what to share new work with me. Looking forward to watching all of you grow as professional artist.
FINALS
Please make sure all homework’s are labeled and on Flickr. (Unless your country can not access then please email)
Final Projects. Please Make sure you have your final project description on Flickr as well as what new digital skill you learned.
What progress did you use and how did you spend your 50+ hours.
Also Please start making comments on others students finals on Flickr. Check them out and show your support and love!!!!! Give constructive criticism too.
SOME AMAZING WORK FROM ALL 3 OF MY CLASSES!!!!!! So excited to go thru it all.
Mostly I love working with artist from all around the world. Your stories of Quarantines will not be forgotten!
THANK YOU AND HAPPY SUMMER
You will receive Grades online and personal review from ME by May 18th.
Looking forward to discussing all your final projects in detail!!!
