“The difference between technology and slavery is slaves are fully aware they are not free”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Inquiring about the buildings which look like 'half a building' we were informed, "these were the slave quarters.' While slavery wasn't the first thing we thought about while absorbing NOLAs fine sense of heritage and hospitality, when you become calibrated to it, it is hard not to think of elephants in the room.

I was visiting a small museum (not a store) of movie & television vintage props & related equipment, etc. This NBC Studios fresnel light (from the 1950’s & 60’s & probably later) was, most likely. used on the Johnny Carson "Tonight" Show & a few others, from that time period. The multi-faceted & ringed fresnel lens in this light is widely used in movies & television as an accurate & adjustable light source. Much larger fresnel lenses were also used in lighthouses & could be seen for very great distances.
Lens designed by Zeiss in 1902; copied by Leica for the Leica 1 in 1925.

Giovanni Agnelli, with several investors, founded the Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian Automobile Factory of Turin) F.I.A.T. in 1899. Fiat has manufactured railway engines and carriages, military vehicles, farm tractors, and aircraft. In 2013, Fiat (together with Chrysler) was the second largest European automaker by volumes produced, and the seventh in the world ahead of Honda, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Suzuki, Renault, and Daimler AG. The Fiat Group contains many brands such as Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, the Chrysler Group, and many more. On 29 January 2014, it was announced that Fiat S.p.A. (the former owner of Fiat Group) was to be merged into a new Netherlands-based holding company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles became the new owner of Fiat Group on 1 August 2014.

Stagecoach 34627 (KX54 OPB) operating route 4 along Technology Drive, Rugby. I had not seen this dart for several months (My last shot seems to be July last year) as it seemed to have been out-posted to Kettering. However, it is now in the reserve fleet, and today. the 1st of June 2018, I saw it pass me here on the way to Brownsover, so I decided to wait for it return, bound for the Admirals Estate.
Pickett N600-T > Hewlett-Packard HP-35
Hewlett-Packard HP-35 calculator. $400. Introduced about April of 1972. Over 10x the price of a slide rule. HP Marketing forecast first year sales at 10K. Actually sold 100K. Pickett went out of business two yrs later. I bought one in 1973.
This is my slide rule from high school, 1963.
Dramatic skies over the Holme Valley. Armitage Bridge is dominated by the large former woollen mill of John Brooke and Sons, reputedly the oldest family business in the country, having been founded in 1541. The mill has now been converted into the Yorkshire Technology and Office Park.
Caps were a bastard, couldn't really be fucked on this one.
Shouts to all the damage cats that turned up! Till next time killas! Stay tuned more to come.
unfortunately no techy black in this, rain washed away mulsh background. annoying. Some colours didnt work, hence lack of 3d shading/ bevel in some fills and fuck to be honest the bevels pretty shite in this one. Keep frosty kats.
Hit me up if you are in Ebrugh or Glasgow. Looking for more cats to paint with.

The more traditional red brick of the old Power Station (MAAT Central) are visible just behind the sweep of the architecture, as is the Monument to the Discoveries in the far distance.
Ok so we live in the town next to where the New England Patriots play their football games; and I stopped for iced coffee, looked up and saw this triangular thing that looked like the Patriots game flag. Of course it looked like the Patriots flag, context and all that—- grin. But it’s probably some sort of fancy broadcast antenna

I've had trouble getting enough light for my photos at this time of the year. I thought a small LED lamp would help but the little ones seem to be afraid of it.

The Dutch State Railways Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Class 1000 was a set of ten electric locomotives (numbered 1001-1010) used in the Netherlands during the latter half of the 20th century. The electrical systems and three completed units were ordered from the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in 1942, but the war blocked delivery until 1948. Despite high failure rates the locomotives remained in service through 1982, and locomotive 1010—built by Werkspoor—is now preserved in the Dutch National Railway Museum.
NS management already had contact with the Swiss company Oerlikon about ordering a series of electric locos before the war. They were to be based on the Swiss Ae 4/6 type. In 1942 the series was ordered, but the war prevented delivery until 1948. The order was subsequently changed to suit Dutch needs.
The "Schweizerische Lokomotivenfabrik Winterthur" (SLM) would build 3 complete locos and deliver the electrical equipment for the remaining 7. These 7 would be built in the Netherlands, by Werkspoor. The series would be numbered 1001-1010 and had 6 axles in a 2-2+2+2+2-2 or (1A)'Bo(A1)' configuration. This configuration was already used successfully on the electrified railway network on Java, then a Dutch colony, but in the Netherlands it was a failure due to its complicated technology and high maintenance.
