Alternative to other CSC offerings, this capable camera made by the most evolving electronics company is a interesting offering now, when the NX300 is here. Large APS-C sensor with usable ISO 3200, easy handling, very solid build, many functions for both amateur and advanced photographers, full controls, WiFi connectivity, 8 fps, and very good lenses. The 18-55 is really nice, and firmware modifications made the auto focus faster and raw files smaller. Now when the production life of the NX210 comes to an end, some local resellers run crazy and the price is falling like a stone - I found this one for $250 with some benefits. For that money it´s a quite powerful and handy camera.
I got this board because I needed a development platform for one of my microcontrollers. At the same time, I ordered an Atmel AVR ISP MkII programmer, which I wanted to use because it is a native USB device and is a little easier to use on the Mac. Of course, it turns out that the programmer has a different type of ISP connector than this board was expecting.
So, this is a Olimex development board for Atmel AVR 20-pin microcontrollers, modified it to accept input from the AVR ISP MkII, which has a six-pin output connector. The header that I added is at the bottom of the board.

I happened to walk past this official CES information kiosk whilst a Yosemite upgrade dialog box was on the screen. Looks like CEA isn't keeping all of their Macs up to date.
The dialog box says, "Get OS X Yosemite Free - New design. Better apps. More ways your Mac works with iOS." The buttons say "Not Now" and "Details" (note that the "Not Now" button is missing on the Snow Leopard version of this dialog box, so this workstation was evidently running Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks).

Here's our final picture from the assembly line of our new 2014 Chevrolet Caprice PPV patrol cars!
This is part of our "from-factory-to-roll-out" photo series featuring the new PAPD patrol car of the future. This picture shows the interior of one of our actual cars as it's being built. This area of the car, more than any other, will undergo the most substantial transformation once we take possession...we'll be adding a laptop computer, mobile radios, scanners, controls for all the electronics (lights, siren, etc), our dash-cam video system, weapon mounts, and a lot more!
For those of you pay close attention to such things, the gear shift for the 2014 Caprice PPV has returned to steering column, allowing us to squeeze more equipment into the all-important center console.
A police car is essentially a mobile office for our officers, and we do our best to give them the tools they need to be efficient, safe, ergonomic, and comfortable in that workspace. The cabin of a police car, once outfitted, tends to look more like the cockpit of an airplane than the inside of a car!
We are scheduled to take delivery of our new cars next month, and then they will go through the outfitting process before ultimately hitting the streets with an all-new design scheme late in the spring.
We expect that our next photos in this "from-factory-to-roll-out" series will be of our cars arriving in the Bay Area on the ship after their voyage across the Pacific Ocean from Australia (again, the cars are built in a Holden manufacturing plant down under...Holden is a subsidiary of U.S.-based General Motors)! We call dibs on any kangaroo or koala stowaways. Stay tuned...
Replaced every button, cleaned all the bug yuck out from the inside, replaced the keyboard, cleaned every slider, cleaned every slider and button/knob cap, and cleaned and degreased the top panel.
Wrapped around this cardiac balloon catheter are temperature and EKG sensors and LEDs. The wires are stretchable coils.
It is manufactured with a lift-off MEMS process. The etched silicon is then stretched and attached to a polymer backing. Silicon usage is minimized over the substrate and the ensemble is quite flexible, to survive inflation and deflation of the balloon.
it's tetris, in an altoids tin!
inside is an Arduino chip on a custom pcb that connects it to this LCD ($1 from sparkfun, talks over SPI) and four buttons. rotation works properly, collision detection seems to work fine, etc.
the eagle files are on randomskk.net/projects/arduino_tetris while the code is on github.com/randomskk/arduino_tetris (note that it's designed to be compiled from a makefile but you can strip out the WProgram and main() function at the end to make it compile from the arduino IDE)
I made it for a friend's birthday present and he seems to really like it
I considered replacing the caps, but those were all in really good condition. Probably should have anyway. At least those are very easy to get to should I decide to do it in the future.
Bits and bobs
Pictures taken during exercising my hobby (electronics) and building/disassembling amplifiers and/or upgrading a record player tonearm and pre-amplifier. Anyway, a text was needed, to describe this lot, and here it is (the text and the lot, enjoy the pictures :)).

La última parejita...
T3 ya es la tercera que tengo, pero no en esta versión cromada y el 80 es el segundo igual pero este está mas sanote esteticamente.

Back in the mid-1960s my dad acquired a secondhand reel-to-reel tape recorder and for a few years we used it to record ourselves talking, reciting poetry & singing. I also used it later on for making recordings of the Top 40 charts from the radio.
Many years later, after the tape machine itself had disappeared, I bought a new Akai reel-to-reel recorder and when I found the old tapes from the 1960s I made a compilation for my mum on cassette tape, which is the tape in the above photo.
A few weeks ago I borrowed the tape from my mum so that I could bring things up to date & make a digital version which I could then burn onto Audio CD. Firstly I transferred the tape to MiniDisc, optimising the levels & doing minor editing & creating track marks. Then I transferred the MD version to CD using the Tascam CD-RW700.

Pentax 31/1.8 Limited
今天拿到了朋友订的SMC Pentax-FA 1:1.8 31mm AL Limited，尽管Pentax已经更新了14、21、40、70四只数字定焦，但是三公主的美丽却并没有因此而光华不济，相反却在这个时候愈发得惹人爱怜。
全金属镜身、温润紧凑，铝制切削镜身便是三公主外在美丽的由来之一。秉承Pentax小即是美的特质，滤镜直径为58mm。虽然只有345g，由于镜身本身小巧，手感颇为札实。尤其是在习惯了普通橡胶制合焦环后，31mm的铝制切削合焦环可以给你带来不同的感受。
7组9片结构，其中包括一片高折射率低色散镜，一片超低色散镜片（ED），一片非球面玻璃镜片（AL）。光圈叶片也为唯美的9片，透过镜头的SMC看过去十分吸引人，套用一个对ZEISS 1.4/85 ZF的形容，“看上去好像整个人都会被吸进去”，虽然这只镜头的口径不大，但是SMC与9片光圈叶片所创造出的感觉仍然让人陶醉于这公主之美。
镜头在AF时感觉虽然不比拥有超声波马达的镜头，但是内置浮动系统对于近拍时的影像弯曲做出了有效的修正，手边Pentax机身只有一部K100D，就不用来误导大家对这只头的成像了，所以没有试镜片。
