As this will hold my amp, phonostage, DAC, CD player and record player i want to isolate it from the floor. I went with Soundcares: 5/8 inch Super Spikes. A good looking, non marring spike that is adjustable and stable.
Use the transparent plastic from a Gatorade bottle to create a colored gel filter.

Project 365
Saturday • October 8, 2011
Check out my website www.gabbypinto.com
The End!
The day has finally come. I have taken a photo everyday for the past year, woah!
It's really hard to believe I actually completed this without missing a day.
This year has been great and I now have 365 photos that will never let me forget it.
I know I'm not a professional and I don't have amazing photo equipments, just my little DSLR.
But, I can definitely say I have learned so much through out the year.
I never thought I would ever get more than 1000 views on a photo,
or have more than 20,000 reblogs on tumblr. Or even have my photo on Lifehacker!
Thank you, that is awesome :)
I am happy to be done and I'll do another year in the future :D
For now I will post as many photos as I can, just not everyday.
Thank you for stopping by even if was just once or if you came everyday.
Thanks for the nice messages and comments, and all the views on here and on tumblr.
Have a great day!

"What?" You asked.
Yes KOLO is synonymous with archival/presentation and most often associated with photography, scrapbooking and art projects. Their Essex Travel Book released this year seems like an odd addition to their product line-up but when you think about it, the whole idea of the Essex series is to bring the KOLO aesthetics and these associations from your archive to your everyday life. You don't carry a typical KOLO product everyday, but you can carry an Essex all the time and treat it as a process to create your final archive/project.
How does this lead to the KOLO-GTD association? If you've been a follower of Scription or lifehacker, you've probably seen my mind.Depositor and its subsequent version as a GTD index card cover. Well, months ago when I received a long awaited Essex in leather, I decided that I wouldn't want to put it into rough use as a notebook. So I employed the law of subtraction, took away the refills and elastic loops and made the cover my new GTD tool.
The medium size Essex is just right for the 6x4" index cards. Since the elastic enclosure is quite strong and I don't intend to walk around dangling this, even though the index cards are not secured inside any pocket, I feel safe enough.
The back side of the window pocket becomes very useful to hold a notepad as a temporary drop box too, how perfect! With a few more creative twist, you can secure the cards when enclosed, unfold the cover all the way to make an "A" stand so you can see your top index card in standing position, etc... I will leave this to you for fun. Don't forget to share here or at Koloist.com if you decide to GTD this way.

Ugh. I realized early on that the complexity of signing up for the Alumni Mentor Program as a student was a huge barrier for engagement. Detailing the work flow of all the potential ways for a student to sign up (and the traps) made it clear to me that I had to "stop the madness."
I used this visual tool not only to visualize the enrollment process but also to influence the Advisory Team to adopt a more streamlined approach. Different volunteers designed a "virtual" program that developed organically over many months, and no one really understood the process of how our clients enrolled.
This photo is part of my Evernote experiment.
This is my desk setup at home. This is only the one part. On this part of the desk is my 13" Uni-Body MacBook Pro which is hands down the greatest computer i have ever owned. I upgraded the Ram to 4 GB and the HDD to 500GB. There is also my Verizon Wireless Blackberry Tour for my business and work and then my Samsung Rogue for personal use. There is the Verizon Fios Router and my External Sata HDD Dock with a 500GB WD in slot 2 and a 120GB Seagate HDD in Slot 1. I also have my 80GB iPod Classic (1st Gen classic) and my police scanner, im a fireman so i like to know whats going on.
This is the side of the room that I play in!!! :)
Just had to share - my husband took pics of my office and it made it on the front page of Lifehacker.com Unfortunately, I have not had much time to play so this is all I have to post this week...
More of a simplistic or minimalist desktop here.
-Rocketdock for the app dock
-Taskbar Eliminator to get rid of task bar
-Rainmeter:
>10 Foot HUD (Date)
>Enigma App Launchers
>HUD.Vision (CPUs, Network)
>Onion Cake (RAM)
So far the choas makes things easier to source and move. Speaker placement left me with a lot of room behind the desk so until i get a real desk this seems to be the best approach, i kinda like the look.
Router and printer placement for easy access.
- Rainmeter - using 'Bauhaus-Thin' font
- Rocket Dock - using ecqlipse 2 icon set
For those expecting football or concert photos, I am bored. International break for you.
It was very, very crowded in the recently reopened National Museum of American History, on "Black Friday", the day after Thanksgiving.

This has been my basic look and feel, but after seeing www.flickr.com/photos/11398192@N02/2780418250/in/pool-876... made me realize i want to contribute my own desktop.
As you can see I have 19inch lcd dual monitors. I am using the visual style from wingnome-xp.deviantart.com/art/Clearlooks-Gummy-Colors-73... I can't remember where I got these wallpapers, it's somewhere on deviantart or wingnomeXP's private blog at wingnomexp.blogspot.com/
I also started to use yahoo widgets, after trying several tools that are both low memory usage, but also provides essential tools.
The start of my core desktop is the usage of the super tango patcher, which provides me with gnome-ish looking icons for my desktop folders etc. from vertigosity.deviantart.com/art/Tango-Patcher-2600-8-06-27...
With the SkyGC/Normal 2 Visual Style enabled, i have my quicklaunch icons set to large icons, to make it easier to read. But i also use ultramon, to manage wallpapers/screensavers for dual monitors, and that allows me to switch wallpapers as i like. On my right screen, beneath the smart taskbar, i have a second quicklaunch toolbar, that has my favorite folders that i use.
At the top of my 1st screen I am using WinExt available at winext.hulubulu.net/ Which allows through customization, to give me an ubuntu kind of look/feel in terms of an application/places/system bar.
Now I am using Yahoo Widgets, and i am using Task List (Which uses a slightly html-able text file as it's source) Sys Monitor, and Callwave which is a free service that allows me to interact with my cellphone's voicemail.
I am also using the new D-Color XP app, which I found on lifehacker, that is pretty sweet how it organizes the icons on my desktop. Very nice.
I really love desktop customization, and want to learn more XD
Bought a 90 degree corner clamp, worth the money ten times over. Another great tool is the 4.5 inch angle grinder with a 80 grit flap disk.
This is actually my country house setup. I only just got the monitor and laptop, so I will bring it all back home and make a new setup there.
(for LifeHacker, post this in the description please if I get posted):
Before doing a renovation in my cottage, I knew that I would be wanting a desk for my newly-discovered computer addiction (I'm 14, so...). The desk was originally a charging station, but it changed into a full-out desk. All the cables are still on the top of the desk though, because I have yet to make a whole to send them down under (there is a plug up top anyways, but you could see in the portrait photo that my desk actually has 2 levels, so I can hide wires under the top layer). Anyways, I love this setup, and want to see what I could do with all this stuff in my regular house!
I have been doing a lot of video editing with Premiere Pro and also starting to use After Effects as a summer project, so the monitor is a welcome addition.
You could see in some pictures I submitted earlier this year that I used to have a useless Dell Latitude D630 (also from my school), so the speedy Mac is a very nice upgrade.
I wanted to find a really nice car to make my setup around and I found this beauty.

I found a couple of tron style desktops online and combined them for a dual headed display. It's very minimal - I'm growing to hate having icons on my desktop, and I just want the necessary info.
The rocketdock is set to auto-minimise.

Use clear silicon adhesive sealant to mount the solar panel in the lid. Let it dry, then use some more sealant to attach the battery assembly to the inside of the mason jar lid.
(Tutorial from Lifehacker. See their "Create Your Own Sun Jar" tutorial.)
Used my Keep A Cable to secure the wires. Great since I use the laptop as a desktop and never open it anyways. Also have a wire running up there for my external drive. Easy to pull up and connect!
This is my windows 7 desktop. The most important thing for me these days is to not miss deadlines. Consequently, I wanted my calendar always visible on my desktop, a copy online, and a copy synced with my phone. To achieve this, I created my calendar using Google Calendar, then used "Screen Calendar" (http://www.screencalendar.com/) to display it on my desktop in a visual style of my own design. I then used MyPhoneExplorer (http://www.fjsoft.at/en/) to sync my Google Calendar with my Sony Ericsson phone. The clock, weather, and Notes are part of the Enigma theme for Rainmeter. (http://rainmeter.net/RainCMS/)
Other than that, I keep the taskbar hidden to maximize calendar space.
My name's Barnaby. I'm 17. And this is the workspace I designed, picked, bought and built.
I wanted something fairly cheap, as it was coming out my own pocket. Ikea seemed the best bet for this.
I'm pretty pleased with the results, especially with the small amount of space I had to work with.
The RGB LEDs were a last minute decision, but I'm so glad I added them in.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

What I see when I'm sitting down. Hanging on the hook to the right of the display is a pair of headphones. The hook is the adhesive kind available at most hardware stores.
All the "hurdles" for mentors to sign up for the program made sense, and the workflow was straight forward. This process is still pretty much in place except they have one application to complete and email back. Eventually, mentors will probably get a link rather than an application attachment, to an online form application.
Seeing this process led to significant changes in how the proteges enroll in the program.

As a graduate student in international relations I do not need a insane computer set up. I would love one, but am resigned to the fact I will be poor for years to come. Mostly my imac and macbook are used to run Stata, Maple, Papers, iTunes, iWork suite and word processors. Thankfully my macs make it easy to run the software I need and work with mission critical reliability. Loosing a thesis after months of work is terrifying.
When the sun isn't too bright, I'll often work the late morning or early afternoon hours out on the balcony. It's also a good place to take a lunch break.
i felt that it was time to do some changes. So this time around i made an "info-dock-bar" with the main thought that i can change the background image without the dock-info-bar-thingy needs a remake.
I used to have the background image host the bar-info-dock-background. Now I remade the whole thing...
listofusedthingys-thingy:
Geektool - for systeminfo
hd-space, IM and Mail count, weather, free ram, battery, date and time.
the IM/mail counters is actually applescripts called from within geektool.
Dragthing - for launching.. stuff
there are 4 different docks here, disk-dock for showing connected drives, processdock for active programs, 2 shortcut-docks.
The shortcut-docks are 1) bottom middle folder-icon - overflow for quick access to my most used folders. didnt want to clutter the info-dockythingy-bar
2) left screenside main applauncher divided in 5 tabs with somewhat corresponding ecqlipse2 icons.
the process-dock also contains my trashbin (right bottom most icon)
menubar is using a blackmenubar-mod (found somewhere in lifehacker-pool)
ive just recently updated both twitter and hyperspaces thats why they are having black icons.. (forgot about them.. sry :P )
apps in menubar as follows:
layers- for screenshots
dragtthing- se above ;)
Pwitter- twitter client
Hyperspaces- adds some stuff to apple spaces (spaces labels ...)
freemem- optimizes RAM usage
AirPhones- Airphones server, sends itunes music to my iphone speakers..
Insomniax- disables the sleep-function. i can close my netbook-lid without sleepmode turning on
Audeee- makes the sound work on my eeepc 901
GeekTool- se above
MemoryCell- monitors memory usage of active app.
Volume- well .. guess
Spotlight- apple search thingy .. usefull anyways :)
wallpaper: made by me
iconset: cant remember the name. made by fif7y (57) found on deviantart.
dragthing theme: simple one -stefan ka
Font in geektool: Kremlin Advisor (temp is white rabbit)
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6
osx on eee901 guide: eeemac.blogspot.com/2008/12/installing-osx-on-eee-pc-901-...
im going to upload the wallpaper as soon as i can... :D
