These two flash drives, that I call my 'Bling Drives', are filled with Swarovski crystals. The crystals are encased in acrylic plastic. Each drive is 2.75" tall. HMM, everyone ! !
SanDisk 1TB Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB 3.1 Flash Drive (USB Type-C
/Type-A) photographed on a black shirt primarily with back lighting. 1 1/2 inches. (This physically tiny flash drive is incredible)
My second USB Sugru sculpture. Perhaps not *entirely* convincing as a duck - the body is designed to fit as well as possible into the small rectangular space next to a USB socket - but I'm pretty happy with it all the same.
The beak was hastily carved from a nearby stick, and treated with linseed oil for protection.
bespren ni pareng ogie
hehehe
this was taken at the Al Areen Wildlife Park
i've uploaded this picture without any post processing other than transferring from the CF card to the PC
masyadong busy kamamadali ko ito lang na-save ko sa flashdrive
i will be uploading more....soon

I've heard this referred to as a flash drive, a memory stick, a USB stick but not a key, except in French where it is a clé USB. However, it is included in the list of permissible keys in the MM instructions so here you are, a key and what is inside it.
From bottom to top: shellac 78 rpm record, vinyl 33 1/3 rpm LP record, magnetic tape cassette, digital compact disc, MP3 player, & two USB 3.0 flash drives. Besides the dramatic increase in recording time of each device is the reduction in weight. In the same order, the weight of each is: 326g/11.5oz, 118g/4.2oz, 36g/1.3oz, 23g/.8oz, 8g/.3oz.
Taken for Macro Mondays theme: intentional blur
This is a killer-whale-shaped ubs flash/thumb drive. It's 2.75 inches (7cm) long. I set it on a textured placemat to try to simulate ripples or waves (didn't work!). I wanted to move the whale, but that didn't work either, so I slide the camera along the table, eye-level to the whale. Took me eight shots to get one with blur I liked.
USB 3.0.
For Macro Mondays, "socket."
The background lines are from a clear plastic container that held grape tomatoes.
The color is from a purple notebook.
The theme for Macro Mondays this week is "Seeing double". So here's my contribution folks.
HMM to all.
Welcome to the digital age. I was sorting through my photography gear and and came across a small selection of the digital storage I have acquired over the last few years. This is just a small selection and ranges from micro m2 and SD cards for mobile camera-phones to smart-media, SD, compact flash, multimedia cards and all the adapters and then several usb drives for backing up and transporting. I remember my first digital camera only needing a 128mb card for hundreds of photos, this has gradually increased to 8gb as I have bought new cameras over the years.
Continued from last issue.
-------------------------------------------
Kaine threw the first punch. It hit Peter hard knocking him back.
"Look Pete, I don't wanna fight..."
"I have to stop SHIELD....."
"From what? SHIELD is here for the people."
"You don't understand."
"Understand what?"
"Understand that SHIELD was created for other things."
"Like war?"
"Destruction."
Kaine looked to see a computer booting up.
"What's that?"
Peter looked at the computer and back at Kaine.
"You can NOT touch that." Peter said.
Kaine looked back at Peter.
"It's what is going to take down SHIELD."
"Get away from it!"
Peter rushed at Kaine, knocking him back. Kaine pushed him off, and grunted while doing so. Peter got up again, only to be knocked down by Kaine swinging a hard punch into his jaw.
Kaine rushed towards the computer hoping to shut down the program. He could here Peter laughing on the floor.
"If you shut that down... I'll be forced to call you a villain."
Kaine saw the computer was uploading a program. He had time to argue.
"Why?"
"SHIELD.... It's not what you think."
"You've told me that."
"Oh... It's way worse than you can believe. You mean to tell me you don't have your suspicions?"
Kaine thought for a moment.
I mean... we do.
"What are you talking about Peter?"
"They created my powers... what else do you think is in store?"
Kaine looked at the computer. The program was running, and was at 25%. Kaine thought of a plan. He went to the computer, and grabbed a flashdrive off the desk.
"What... what are you doing?"
"I'm talking plan B."
Kaine plugged in the flashdrive, and closed the program.
"NOOOOO!"
Peter got up onto his feet, and went to hit Kaine. Kaine saw this coming, and stood up. He put Peter to the ground easily.
"You're rusty Parker."
Kaine dragged the program to the flashdrive, and once done, pulled out the flashdrive, and smashed the computer.
"What...." Peter said coughing up blood, "Are you doing?"
"Keeping it for later. You're right you know. SHIELD may be something else than I had originally believed. But it also might not. I'm not taking that risk trying to wipe their intel."
"How'd you know I was going to do that?"
"It said it on the computer."
"Ah... Well, now that we've got this all settled out..."
Peter walked over to Kaine, but he never got to speak. Kaine punched him so hard, he was knocked out.
Well... that settles things?
Sure.
Now. Whatta 'bout Gwen?
------------------------
"What? Kaine... you can't leave."
Kaine smiled.
"Well, really I'm not. Peter will be here."
"I can't do that to you... it's not fair."
"It doesn't matter what's fair Gwen. It has to happen. Go back to your normal life. I've made it too dangerous."
"So where will you go?"
"I going to go on my investigation on SHIELD. I need to know if Peter was right."
"Peter is dead Kaine."
"No... this is him."
"You don't know that."
"Gwen, what I do know is, I can't stay here. I've already caused to much danger to you both."
Kaine looked down at her stomach.
"You can't leave your son."
"I'm not leaving the city Gwen. It's just..."
"It's just you're leaving!"
"Gwen. If you haven't noticed yet, I want you to have you're life back. I don't want to be the substitute."
"You weren't a substitute. What we had was real for the past few years."
Kaine felt a tear roll down his eye.
"I know. I can't risk it though Gwen. I'll visit. Like always."
"What about him?"
She motioned to her stomach.
"He's not even mine. I'm the clone remember?"
"Kaine DON"T say that. You're not just a clone."
Kaine got up from the park bench they were sitting on.
"You always told me that."
Kaine walked over to Peter, and told him to go sit with Gwen. She'd fill him in.
"Kaine... I...."
"You're sorry? I know. Oh, and you're welcome."
Peter started smiling, with tears.
"Come on don't get emotiona...."
Peter hugged him. Kaine returned it.
"You believed in me when no one would."
"Well... that's what brothers are for. Just do go stealing my spot as Spider-Man!"
"I'm done being the hero Kaine. It's your time."
Peter let go, and walked to Gwen. They really hit it off, except Gwen was crying the whole time. Kaine walked off, remembering his great life that he once had. But all that had to end. He had to go back to work.
He walked to Harry's penthouse and looked out the window. Peter and Gwen were walking in the park, talking. He saw Gwen laugh.
Kaine sat down on the bed, and tried to keep a straight face. But he lost control. He broke out crying. But he knew it was good she was with him. Once he was done, he got up and walked over to the living room.
"Thanks for letting me stay here Harry. Once I gave the house to them.. well, you know."
Harry turned around. He was in a tux, trying to cover the symbiote arms.
"No problem Kaine. You've done everything you could to help her. So I want to help you."
"Oh, and sorry about the arms."
"What these? No, these are a blessing. It can do a lot of stuff."
"Well, happy you like 'em. Thanks again."
"No problem. Now what's this thing about SHIELD?"
"I need to know if they are who they are. And maybe you can help me."
"Anything."
"Great. I'm just going to go out for a while."
"Speaking of going out..."
Harry walked over to the fireplace and flipped a button on the mantle. The fireplace turned around, revealing his old suit.
Kaine smiled.
"Like old times."
He looked at Harry, and Harry nodded.
Let's play some music... the dark and bruiting kind.
Kaine smiled, walked in, and put on the suit.
-------------------
Kaine swung around NY, looking to see if he could find an antenna. If he could find one, he could find trace it to a secret base at SHIELD.
Oddly, he hadn't heard from Fury since he went to take down Peter. Something was off.
While swinging, he saw a robbery in place.
Not on our watch.
Kaine let go of the web, and dropped about 20ft. He then landed cracking the street a little.
Ooooh, we're sooo cool.
Kaine stood up, exactly when the robber came out of the store. He stood there in shock.
"Sp... Spp... Spider-Man?!?"
"Oh yeah."
He grabbed the man, and swung onto a crane.
He frightened the man by holding him with just one hand.
Just then, Kaine saw something weird. He saw Sandman out in the street. This was normal. The thing he saw that was different, was a person in a suit that looked just like his. The suit looked red, or more like Scarlet. This, "Scarlet" Spider-Man was actually fighting the Sandman.
"Hold on..." Kaine said to the robber.
He shot a web around the robber's and, allowing his to hang on the chain. This freaked the robber out.
Kaine rushed down to the scene, but before he got there it was over, and the figure was gone.
Here we go again.

So there it is guys! The end of Volume 3! Hopefully you guys liked this, as alot happens. Congrats to LegoMadness, as he got the role of Scarlet Spider, hence the reason why this is mentioned. In Vol.4 expect a crossover....
i think it's on my mocpages but it's always bugged me that it's not on here too. Today i was going through an old flashdrive and found it. From two thousand and something.... back when i still built lego. sigh.
Photo Rules: For this theme, you must use pale, subdued colors in your photo. Try to avoid bold or neon colors so that your photo looks soft-hued and delicate. Use many colors or just one. Your choice! Aside from clothing, you can use pastel accessories, backgrounds, furniture, hair, makeup, etc. You can photograph anything that comes to mind! Remember the most important thing is to have fun.
This photo: Despite work, a concert out of town, another full weekend, and a computer that insists on crashing and not accepting any flashdrive, a photo of Up in the Air Poppy Parker in a Mattel dress somehow meets the deadline, I think!
This is part of what Meaghan gave me for our two year anniversary on Saturday. She took a normal flash drive, and painted it into this creative masterpiece that's sure to bring back some memories!

I'm a dream. Life is fading away and my actions are getting slower and slower. I listen less and less to those around me. I'm starting to forget actions that took place in the past. I have my own world now. Nothing seems to matter anymore. I am my own family now. A family of one. I'm an army of one. I am lost within myself.

maybe you'll understand it.

I WANT TO DO A COLLABORATION WITH SOMEONE :(
EXPLORE #444 12/24
Location: Nelson and Murdock, Attorneys At Law: September 29th, 2018 9:15 PM
Matt: Hello there, my name’s Mathew Murdock. How may I help you?
Spider-Man: Hello, Mr. Murdock. I’m Spider-Man, and I have been framed for breaking and entering into Oscorp.
Matt: Oh, I heard about that. My law partner and secretary were discussing that earlier today. Now, I believe you but obviously I’m not the one you need to prove this to. Now, I’ll accept this case, and since you’re a kid I’ll let this be pro bono.
Spider-Man: What?! I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Matt: Don’t bullshit me, Kid. I may be blind, but I’m not that blind. Regardless of that, let’s start off with the basic stuff. I know Osborn’s side of the story but what’s yours?
Spider-Man: Well, Norman Osborn hired dangerous men that harmed others for the purpose of getting my blood for his son, because his son needs a cure for a rare disease. When I learned of this, I made a deal for him to get my blood for the cure, but after that he would have to turn himself in for his crimes. Then he set me up to make it look like I broke into Oscorp…
Matt: Okay… That’s a lot to take in, kid. I’ll see what I can do. So do you have any proof that you were welcomed into the place?
Spider-Man: Uh, not exactly.
Matt sighed and pinched the middle of his nose, I could sense his disappointment…
Matt: Alright kid, if you can’t get me proof I can set up a counter claim against Osborn. Now, however you do it…. Well I don’t have to know that part, but I doubt you’ll do anything that would harm anyone to get that evidence. You are a hero after all.
Spider-Man: You...You think I’m a hero?
Matt: Well kid, you’d be surprised how many people in NY, especially in Hell’s Kitchen, that look up to you and love you. That Jameson dude can say what he wants to say, print what he wants to print, but at the end of the day you still look out for the little guy. And I respect that. Keep up the good work, kid.
Spider-Man: Thanks, you don’t know how much I appreciate that. I’ll be back with that proof.
Matt: I know you will, Kid. Bye.
I left the law firm and stayed the night at Harry’s house, though it was hard to sleep, and I guess you could say I’m a little paranoid after what happened.

Location: Oscorp Industries: October 20th, 2018 11:45 AM
Otto: Alright, so Peter, we’re gonna have to shift gears from the arm project. We’ve been commissioned to make a device for the military, meant for faster travel. They gave us a blueprint to base it off of, and all we are tasked to do is build and test.
He held up the documented designs and it looked like something from the future. Sorta like a weird hoverboard or something.
Peter: Don’t you think this is a little out of our wheelhouse? Special prosthesis’, we can do that. Tony Stark or Reed Richards type stuff, I don’t know… I just don’t think I could do something like this.
Otto: Peter, you sell yourself short. You are one of the brightest minds I know, and at such a young age I know your intellect will only expand as the years go by. Plus, we’ll be getting help from someone who knows a thing or two about aerodynamics. Adrian Toombs is very knowledgeable when it comes to things that fly and he’ll be joining us later when we get to the testing phase.
Peter: Heh, thanks Doc. Hey uh, I know this is random, but does Oscorp have servers that store stuff from the camera feed?
Otto gave me a quizzical gaze and let out a slight, “Yeah why?” He continued on to say, “It has a 24/7 camera log of what goes on around here. It’s all the way in the basement and if you are looking for anything that goes on in here, you’ll find it there.”
Peter: Oh, interesting. Uh sorry for going off topic, let’s get a roll on making this flight thing.
Doc and I studied the mock up design the military made and discussed ways to innovate it. Man, Doc has so many great ideas and if any man was to lead the world into a glorious new age it would be Otto. Any man willing and wanting to change the world by inventing this for the better, is a man I’m willing to follow to the end of the line. After hours of work and a few mini prototypes later, it was night. I guess time flies when you’re helping the world. I started to get my stuff ready to go, but then Doc handed me a flashdrive and I was confused.
Peter: What’s this?
Otto smiled at me as he said, “Just when you get the chance, give it a look. Especially the last schematic, you’re definitely gonna need it.”
Peter: Uh thanks, Doc. I’ll see you next time.
Otto; See you later, Peter. Have a good rest of your night.
I left the lab and headed back home to plug in the drive, and upon seeing it I gained the biggest grin. It was a complete floor to floor layout of the whole Oscorp building. Which means I can easily access that area without going in blind. I skipped through the files then I found something that made me go pale… There was a schematic with a Stealth Spider-Man suit. And a note attached… It stated, “Peter Parker, Spider-Man. Who would’ve thought? I mean when you think about it, it’s obvious. A person who wants to make the world a better place, even if it’s a little at a time. I don’t believe what the news says, I know you’re not a bad kid, so if you are doing what I think you’re doing then you need to be prepared. Red and blue are nice looking but I wouldn’t call it inconspicuous so I quickly designed a more stealthy suit. If you need the materials to make it then head to the lab and there’s some stuff you can use. Just don’t do it at Oscorp, it’s too risky. Good luck, Peter.” - Your mentor, Otto Octavius.
Peter: Otto....Bless you. Heh, time to get to work.
I made the stealth suit. It was all black with goggles with shutters similar to the ones on my original costume. But before I could head out to Oscorp, I had one more thing to do. Tutor Flash Thompson.
Flash came into my house and looked around, seemingly impressed by…. Something.
Flash: Not a bad place for a little dipshit like you, Parker. A little old fashioned but still not bad.
Peter: Remember, let’s keep the name calling to a minimum. Anyways, what work do you have to do?
Flash: Something about cells.
Peter: Oh, this should be easy. You see there are a couple of main cells. B and T cells. They produce antibodies and-
An alert on my phone buzzes, a crime downtown is in progress. I look over, squinting with irritation that I can’t do anything. I guess Flash noticed because he started to snap in front of my face.
Flash: Yo, Earth to Parker! You good man? You seem off.
I hesitated before looking at Flash, then I finally nodded.
Peter: Sorry, just…There’s some things I need to do. And I can’t because well, I just can’t. Look it’s nothing of importance nor is it anything you’d understand.
Flash: Heh, if it’s some nerd science shit of course I’m not gonna get it, but I do get that sometimes you have to prioritize. Like as much I love football, I can do anything in it if my grades are ass. So I go to you for help, it’s just knowing what’s more important and what should come first. Whatever it is, if it’s something you need to do then do it, Pete. I can always wait to do this homework so go ahead and get your stuff done.
I was…. Shocked. Flash Thompson, helped me and gave me decent advice. Though that might be because I’m helping him with school… Or maybe I was wrong about him.
Peter: Thanks, Flash. I needed that, I have to go. I promise we will continue the tutoring session tomorrow.
Flash: Whatever you say dork.
I left swinging off to stop a crime in progress. Now, should I, a now wanted criminal, be actively out in the open. No, hell no. But when you have a duty, a responsibility, you should always uphold it and stick to it. Because though you might have to sacrifice some things, at least you stay true to who you are and- WAIT WHAT IS THAT?! My Spider Sense started blaring as I noticed an enormous man in a rhino costume.
I catch up to the police tailing the rhino guy, and I talk to one of the officers.
Spider-Man: Hey, need any help here?
Cop: What the- Spider-Man? Aren’t you a criminal?
Spider-Man: So they say, they also call me a menace, nuisance, and a plethora of other things J. Jonah likes to brand me as. So uh, you just sit back and I handle the Chuck E. Cheese reject.
Cop: Why would you want to help us if you’re wanted?
Spider-Man: Hm, dunno. I TOTALLY wasn’t doing this before or something. I’m glad you asked though, because your fellow officers didn’t when they decided to go all “guns a blazing” on me the other day. Anyways, gotta go deal with Mr. Rocksteady over there. Peace!
I swung further down to catch up to that rhino guy and I zipped onto his back, holding on for dear life.
Spider-Man: Hey, what’s shakin’ bacon?
Rhino: What? Who are you, and what type stupid American phrasing is that?
Spider-Man: Huh, did not expect the giant rhino man to be Russian. Interesting to say the least. Anyways big boy, I’m here to turn you in….Or at least attempt to.
Rhino: NOTHING CAN CONTAIN THE RHINO!
So, Newton once said that, “If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.” His first law of motion, so let’s think of the Rhino as this thing that’s at a consistent speed. If that is the case, then it’s time for me to be the force that acts upon him.
That’s when I see it, a construction site two blocks down. Bingo. Direct Rhino to the site, throw him in a pit, and fill it with cement. Time to get to work. When he approached the construction site, I used my webs to pull him over there, though there was some resistance on his part. I overcame the big lug and trapped him in a pit that was soon to be filled with cement. And in no time, the Rhino was put to an astounding halt, thanks to the one and only Spider-Man!
But that’s when I hear it… “Put your hands up!” Son of a- Of course, the one thing I forgot. The police. I put my hands up, slowly turn around then see several cop cars. Right as they’re getting ready to turn me in, one of them says, “Stop! Don’t you see, he helped us!” It was that one I talked to, huh I would’ve never guessed. He started to talk down the others, convincing them to chill out and I walked up to them.
Spider-Man: Uh thanks for vouching for me… Not too many people do that for me.
Cop: No problem, but Captain Stacy is probably gonna have my head for this one. Look, I know you’re not some maniac they say you are, hell a lot of people don’t think that. Especially at the precinct. I owe you, more than you’ll ever know.
Spider-Man: For what? The Russian Rhino over here? I take guys like him out like every other week. It’s nothing special.
Cop: No it’s not that… You saved my life, my wife and son’s lives. My name is Jefferson Davis, you might not remember me but a few weeks back you saved our lives when Shocker attacked that bridge. That’s something that I’ll eternally be grateful for. I can’t necessarily pay you back in that way, but I can help when you need info on a criminal or something. Here’s my information.
He took out a notepad from his cruiser and wrote down a number to call and handed it to me.
Spider-Man: I don’t really do this looking for something in return, I’m not looking for rewards or anything I just-
Jefferson: Then that’s fine, but if you do need help just call.
I look at the note, then back at Jefferson. I try not to ask for anything, but Uncle Ben always said, “Everybody needs help sometimes.” Ben was right, I don’t have to always do things alone. So it wouldn’t hurt to have a little help here and there.
Spider-Man: Thanks, Jefferson. And also, you don’t owe me anything, you never did.
I swing off and wait at my home until it is night. I put on my new stealth suit and head out to Oscorp. Let’s go prove my innocence! Anyways, I get to Oscorp and use Doc’s schematics to navigate the Oscorp ventilation system. Weird, the vents are sorta warm like someone’s used them before…Very peculiar. Regardless of that, I get to the server room, then my Spider-Sense starts acting up again.
Spider-Man: Um, who’s there?
Really Pete? If anyone is here, you ruined your element of surprise…
???: So we’ve got a new thief in the biz, whatcha call yourself?
Spider-Man: Correction, not a thief, though my getup doesn’t really help my case. Look usually I’d turn in guys like you but right now I need to just take something from here.
???: So…You’re stealing? I get you’re new to this whole thing but usually you describe what you’re doing to anyone, or talk to anyone.
Spider-Man: But you’re literally going against your own rules.
???: Ok, yeah yeah but I like to watch newbies struggle at the job. It’s pretty entertaining, so what brings you here newbie?
I roll my eyes, though I doubt he saw, and I go over to a section that has all the camera feeds and connect a hard drive. I let the info get transferred and take out the drive before waving it in front of the purple and green thief.
Spider-Man: This. The key to my innocence. And the name’s Spider-Man.
???: Bullshit…
I hop onto the ceiling and use my webs to descend back down to the thief.
Spider-Man: I’m the real deal, now who the hell are you?
Prowler: The name’s Prowler! The best thief no one’s heard about.
The End
