Permanent noise monitors, strategically placed throughout the community, are designed to capture noise events associated with Centennial Airport traffic. (CENTENNIAL AIRPORT PHOTO BY Deborah Grigsby Smith)
I repaired the ViewSonic monitor on the right by replacing about a half-dozen capacitors.
The parts cost about $15; the whole process took about 2 hours.

Perceptum never took to monitors as eagerly as the Vinlanders (who had invented the ship type as a substitute for ocean-going battleships), at least not during the Imperial era. The Marina Imperiale (Imperial Navy) exercised a budget big enough to maintain an enormous trans-oceanic Battlefleet that could respond to crises and strategic threats anywhere in the world. Modern Perceptum, with its much reduced navy and economic base, didn’t have that luxury.
The Grande Marina (Grand Navy) operated a much smaller Battlefleet, and thus turned to the monitor as a cheap method of providing big guns to the defense of its colonial possessions. Those built in the 1880’s were ugly, flawed but powerfully armed gun platforms. Those, like the Pugilist class, that were built during and after the Great Re-Armament were armed with smaller, cruiser-sized guns but were better able to traverse treacherous and shallow waters. More importantly, they had larger secondary batteries and were maneuverable enough to tango with torpedo armed ships that would have easily sunk preceding classes of Perceptan monitors.
But unlike their predecessors, the Pugilists were largely incapable of traversing the open ocean safely, limiting them to riverine and coastal operations.

Yet another example of our TV on TV! This one also seems to be a 52-incher, like ours.
This time in Meet The Parents 3 - Little Fockers. The movie exceeded my expectations and fortunately was not really about kids (like the title suggests).
I noticed they covered up / disabled the two green lights at the bottom right. Perhaps the TV wasn't even on, and they superimposed the image in post-production. Or maybe they modified the TV so there woudln't be 2 green distracting lights...
I think my parents used to have one of those ceramic giraffes too.

A juvenile found basking along a waterway in south Florida. These large, diurnal predators have become established in south Florida.
Got a good deal on Dell's 24" LED backlit monitor. The color balance isn't the same, so it will take a bit of tweaking to match them up, but so far it's rather nice.
Also, the resolution is "HD" so that means 1920x1080 instead of the other monitor's 1920x1200. That's okay, I can deal with the loss of 230,400 pixels (1920x120) - Roughly the equivalent to the top and bottom XFCE panels.

Enhancements have been made to the Batman Armory by GeeWhiz Customs and it has been expanded to depict the Dark Knight's subterranean portside hideout in The Dark Knight Movie.
Entitled "Batcave 2.0", the scaled model set was entered into the annual diorama contest and was given the "Toycon's Choice" Award in the recently concluded 10th Philippine Toy Convention.
The new armory features a movie-accurate design with a weaponry display and an optional 1/6 scale empty cowl mask. A Second-level diorama of the Portside Ground Level featuring a Wayne Enterprises Container Van and perimeter fencing is an optional addition.
For inquiries on the Dark Knight Armory 2.0 or the Batcave 2.0 set, please eMail geewhizcustoms@gmail.com

My first quick (before going home from work) attempt at a transparent monitor picture. Colors are bad, the monitor background image is blurry and the monitor placement (or camera position) could be better. I'll make other attempts some other time.
Lunchtime at the house, something rustles around the corner and a moment later the comrade comes around the corner.
He looks past, tongue flickering, in search of food. A good meter long and not at all shy, he tries to get onto our terrace. The broom is within reach and is easily used to direct the lizard in a different direction. A hiss is the response, but after several gentle pressures, the reptile clears the area and goes to the neighboring house.

The USS Monitor was the revolutionary all iron design with the world's first nautical rotating gun turret. It was designed by John Ericsson and financed and promoted to the Navy by Madison's Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. When the Union learned that the Confederates were building an iron clad ship to fight against Federal blockades of Southern ports, it quickly countered with the Monitor. See www.madisonhistory.org/uss-monitor/ for the whole story. The Monitor's most notable engagement was against the CSS Virginia (a.k.a USS Merrimack) during America's Civil War at Hampton Roads, Va. in March of 1862.
This is a large (1/4"=1' scale) museum-quality wooden model of the USS Monitor in its battle-ready appearance. The model was built in the early 1970's by Arthur G. Henning, Inc, 17 South 3rd Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550, to exact measurements from archival blueprints. It is a duplicate of the model ship on display at the Smithsonian, which the Henning firm also produced. According to the firm, ours has more detail inside the turret. The ship model includes an anchor and the Ericsson-designed propellor. Painted flat black with red-lead colored hull. The ship model is 43 1/2" long X 10 3/4" wide X 6 1/2" high. It was commissioned by Dr. Philip S. Platt, a previous MHS President, in 1974 for $1,200. It was donated by him to be part of the 1974 MHS exhibit about Cornelius Bushnell and the Monitor.
