Anemone Stinkhorn aka Starfish Stinkhorn (Aseroe rubra)

Highlights from a morning in Surrey England

Thanks to Dave Roberts for his kind help in locating this species (great directions)

The most elegant case and internal setup I've ever seen.

Ahhhh, it's like Christmas has come early! This baby can do a lot of Flickr'ing.

Behold, the power of cheese...

So, this is my first try at a stacked "Star Trail" type photo. My friend Brandon and Miles were also in on this photo, it was kind of a collab of use three to see what we could do that night. We hiked a little to get to a nice flat and dark location. We found one, and angled it so the lake is just viewable in the bottom. This was about 80 photos, each at a 20" exposure.

Hope you like it!

Thank you,

Mitchell

For me the best example of what makes Apple special is the old Mac Pro. When designing a tower, the aim is to develop a machine that’s expandable and often form follows function in the cheapest possible way. Apple’s tower is the a piece of brilliant design full of fantastic touches. The ability to expand it without any tools. Plastic pieces edging pressed metal sections to that you don’t cut yourself. Sliding draws to make replacing hard disks simple. Even labelling to help you understand where things go. Most of this is never seen. Yet Apple’s designers didn’t compromise. The internal of a product should be as well designed as the externals. This is something few in the business can match. For me the Mac Pro tower is another Apple design classic.

Oh my! These prices are delicious, er....realistic. :)

Added this cool steel-looking art.

Liam has figured out how to use the mouse - including how to right-click a mouse that doesn't actually have any buttons (the Apple Mighty Mouse).

Here, he is demonstrating not only his mastery of the mouse but also his understanding of "one of these things is not like the other."

The question was, "which of these things do firefighters NOT use to fight fires?" Without hesitation Liam clicked on the flower pot.

Click.

Next.

My little geek. I'm so proud!

I bought this magic trackpad without realizing that my macpro doesn't have bluetooth........I have been searching for a bluetooth adapter but haven't found one that works. I may have to return this inviting magic trackpad. :-(

After years changing batteries finely a rechargeable keyboard and mouse, I did not have much time to try them out.

Visually they are great, they came out of the box with 99% charge.

I liked that there was a black color option to go with mac pro.

Phew, as a retirement treat to myself I purchased a MacPro Laptop and am learning to add pictures from it to Flickr and it looks like I was successful, lol. I do have lots to learn as I also added these pictures from our trip and are now on this laptop. Have patience with me, this may appear again as I'm not exactly sure how I got it here!!!

My brand new Mac Pro ingested some Starbucks doubleshot coffee the other day. The juice got splattered around a bit by these two fans, but incredibly all vital organs were spared contamination.

Resetting the Mac Pro Logic Board can resolve many of your Mac Pro's system problems. When resetting the Logic Board there are three reset switches that you can use to troubleshoot various symptoms. Resetting the SMC is one of these reset options and is used to address issues related to power. Learn more at www.macusersguide.com/2009/06/reseting-the-logicboard/

The cheap $2 iPhone dock is now hooked with my old trusty iPod Touch 16GB 1st generation for illustrative purposes. It is usually with my sister as it is full of simple games suitable for casual gamers like us.

The Starbucks cup contains some fine House Blend Starbucks coffee. No sugar, no milk. Plain caffeine.

Macbook, mac pro, thinkpad, 30" dell, 20" dells, ti voyage 200, iphone, canon hv20, aeron chair etc..

Those collectable -nowadays- keyboards are so welldesigned and ergonimically-great that I can't live without them. Plus the nessecity of multi-touch-based input source to fully utilize Lion have brought me to use the Magic mous einsted of the great Mighty Mouse.

… in which I show off my new toys and programming-space.

This is what my office looks like after a few hectic projects.
