the 15th morning of our SoCal family holiday
I was feeling a bit lazy today, so I let good ol' Flickr Group Roulette pick the photo theme. Today, it was about excess. And for me, this is easy. I am guilty of an excessive life. The focus of my life has been and always will be learning.
How does this translate into excess, you ask? Because I learn through whatever I can get my hands on. If something new comes out, I want it so I can learn it and integrate it into my life. And since my dad bought our first Apple computer home sometime in the very early 1990's, I've been a macfreak. It'll surprise most people that I have gone my entire life without owning anything other than a mac. The first time I even touched windows in any large amount of time was about 3 years ago when I learned Maya on it. But by then, Apple computers had moved to Intel processes and I could dual boot my MacPro.
Almost anything Apple is my excess. I was an early adopter for the first iPod, I stood in line for 7 hours for the first iPhone. I tried to stay away from the iPad, but only succeeded by fighting that off for two weeks after it's release. Anything that seems to be on the edge of something interesting, I want to be apart of, I want to learn what I can use it for and catapult my learning into a new and fascinating direction.
My lust of Apple products is just a by-product of my excessive need for learning. Sure, the motives for learning are pure but the end product of it is always so damn expensive. Up next, Nikon. The second silent killer of money reserves.
My computer desk. Where the magic happens. If you can call it magic. Home of Shredded Sheep Software.

After nearly seven years, I finally replaced my desktop computer. It's much more powerful than I'll ever need, but the only Macs that don't come with a screen are the Mac mini and the new MacPro.I decided to bite the bullet and pay an outrageous amount of money for the MacPro. It's much smaller than I was expecting and beautifully shiny. It now sits on my desk where a box of tissues used to be.

1TB My Book Pro... noisy as a 747 with the case on. Seems like I'll have to leave it like this just to keep it quiet. The engineers @ WD that design these things are terrible.

On December 23, 2014, I donated my Mac Pro 1.1 I got in April, 2007, so it may be help someone else express their creativity and productivity.
This Mac assisted me throughout college as well as writing OpenZoom. Farewell, my friend.
Yea, I'm rocking out to some spreadsheets, listening to my noise-canceling headphones from Bose, moving the mouse on the world famous mouse rug, and drinking some joe. It's a great life.

Scarlet Elfcup fungus (Sarcoscypha austriaca var. austriaca) at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, an SSSI location managed by Kent Wildlife Trust, near Sevenoaks, Kent England
A wonderful beginning to the 2015 Fungi/Mushroom/Slime Mould season. Still a few months away from the true start, but it was great to get out to Kent to get our first fungi of 2015
I'm getting things arranged at the new office. Nowhere near done yet, but this is what it looks like. The Pooh books are above the monitor just off the top-left corner of the picture.
