HOBBY: Computing, as in building computers, repairing, and any electronics. Never toss an electronic or computing component even if deader than the proverbial doornail. My husband is the expert. I’m trying to learn.
WHAT: Light-emitting diodes (LED) pre-cut (or before sizing) in/on a breadboard. Yes, shallow depth of field. By choice!
FOCAL POINT: Third from left LED in front row.
LIGHTING: Components are in a soft box lighted on two sides by standing Photogenic StudioMax lights triggered by an off-camera SB 800 strobe at 1/64 power.
SIZE: The breadboard (base with holes) measures 2 in / 5.08 cm), and with the negative/unused space equals about 2.5 in / 6.35 cm.
The height including negative/unused space measures 1.75 in / 4.45 cm.
Thanks for looking!
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.
These gears pass some the energy provided by the operator turning a crank to the rear section of Tide Predicting Machine No. 2, a special purpose mechanical analog computer for predicting the height and time of high and low tides.
The U.S. government used Tide Predicting Machine No. 2 from 1910 to 1965 to predict tides for ports around the world. The machine, also known as “Old Brass Brains,” uses an intricate arrangement of gears, pulleys, chains, slides, and other mechanical components to perform the computations.
A person using the machine would require 2-3 days to compute a year’s tides at one location. A person performing the same calculations by hand would require hundreds of days to perform the work. The machine is 10.8 feet (3.3 m) long, 6.2 feet (1.9 m) high, and 2.0 feet (0.61 m) wide and weighs approximately 2,500 pounds (1134 kg). The operator powers the machine with a hand crank.

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!
The Palm IIIxe was introduced in February 2000 at a cost of US$249. If you care to read a bit about the Palm IIIxe click here.
Today's shot is for The Hereios' theme, computers.

Science Fiction surely?
No, the future is now, it's the Raspberry Pi!
A piece of electronic wizardry that aims to inspire children (and adults) to code and look behind the flashy buttons to see the bare bones of computing.
HMM! Theme "Science Fiction"
Apologies for the lack of communication, away at Center Parcs with pretty much zero connection. Back now and knackered.
A closer view of what sits on my desk in our office... Too see a wider angle view and more stuff Click Here, the description on the other photo also goes into much more detail about what I use and how I use it.
In short, about 5 years ago I uploaded a photo (now quite outdated) of what my desk looked like and the computing technology that I used... but now long overdue I have upgraded and replaced quite a bit. Things are now much simpler and easier to use... oh and I finally made the switch to Mac and have been loving life on OS-X.
What this photo shows is:
A 30" NEC monitor connected to an Apple Hex Core 3.33Ghz. Mac Pro w/12GB of RAM, dual 50GB OWC Solid State Drives(SSD), four 2TB Western Digital Black hard drives and a NewerTech eSATA card and two external 500GB Western Digital Studio Edition hard drives. The desktop has an Apple Wireless Keyboard, a Magic Trackpad and a Magic Mouse connected via Bluetooth and a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard and a Microsoft LaserMouse6000 connected via USB2 sitting on a HumanScale 4G keyboard tray (it's designed for the Microsoft 'natural' form factor). Finally the Mac Pro has a Wacom Intuos3 tablet and a set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers.
Laptop - An Apple 15" MacBookPro Core i5 2.4Ghz. notebook with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB Seagate MomentusXT hard drive (which also includes a 4GB SSD cache), with the upgraded high res. display. Attached is a 500GB G-Tech G-Drive Mini and a 1TB OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro external drives connected via Firewire800 and an Apple MagicMouse via Bluetooth.
There is more going on in terms of networking, storage, etc. but if you want to know more about that, click on this other image.

My Husband! Apparently slightly bored with wandering around the Sunflower Maze with me two weeks running and catching up on some emails on his iPhone. He had no idea I had taken this image until today :o)
I have quite obviously run some filters though this image and smoothed out the clouds a little so as to make it more of a concept image.
A newborn baby fixates on human faces… but a newborn boy will turn his gaze to blinking lights.
Stereo equipment designers have exploited this innate attraction for years. =)
And in this full size photo, you can appreciate IBM’s pinnacle of geek bling-bling – an immersive widescreen of blinky bliss.
This IBM System/360 Model 91 was a scientific computer used at SLAC in 1968. It used Solid Logic Technology (modules of five to six transistors) during the transition period between discrete transistors and the IC.
