My new 23" Dell monitor arrived. Amazing resolution of 2048x1152. The screen is reflective but not so bad as the MacBook, as you can see in the photo. The built in 2MP webcam doesn't seem to work with OS X though I'm sure there is a workaround.

At the "front" of the cane toad invasion, a toad-naïve Mertens' Water Monitor is presumed to have attempted eating a poisonous toad.

The Ornate Nile Monitor usually grows to a maximum length of 6 feet which is slightly shorter than the Nile Monitor. This Lizard has 3 - 5 rows of light coloured markings on its back, compared to 6 – 9 on the dominant Nile Monitor. These markings are cream-coloured or yellow. They also have light-coloured tail bands. The colours fade as the animal mature but are still prominent. Ornate Monitors have a pink tongue whereas the Nile Monitor has a bluish-black tongue. Nile Monitors, like all monitors, use there throat pouch to breathe. By pumping their pouch, they force air into their diaphram, letting them stay active for long periods of time without becoming tired. They have acute eyesight and can even distinguish between people by vision alone. They can spot potential prey, enemies and mates from far away and, like all monitors, see in colour, being able to distinguish more colours than humans. Their most remarkable sense is that of smell. Their probing tongue picks up scent particles from the air, the ground, or another surface, and presses these against a special organ on the roof of their mouths that analyzes the odors collected. Because the tongue is forked, the two tines can pick up scent gradients, and allow the monitor to know which direction the scent is strongest. They use their remarkable sense of smell to find prey, track mates, keep tabs on their neighbors, and warn them of approaching predators. A monitor's sense of hearing is not nearly so acute as that of most people, however. While they are quite sensative to low to mid frequencies, their rage of hearing is nowhere near so broad of that of mammals. They react to sounds in a very different way than mammals - loud sounds that would startle a mammal may be completely ignored by a monitor even though they can hear the sound quite clearly. If they learn to associate a sound with food, however, they will pay close attention when they hear it.

These things are common but can get quite large, some well over a metre long.

Added IKEA ambient lighting to the back of the monitor :D

Burglar alarm monitoring services through All-Guard Systems have been providing home, business, government & educational alarm monitoring in north California since 1952.

The source of all my fears. This isnt the original, from the burn-in it appears that it was from a horizontal game at one time.

my dual monitor setup... yahooo... :|

The first try. Nice experiments; don't forget to give a look at the whole transparent screens group.

Got at second monitor at work on Friday, getting very hooked.

Engineman Senior Chief Petty Officer (MDV) Lyle Becker of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-TWO, Little Creek, VA, descends to the wreck site of the USS Monitor on a stage that will take him and his partner 240 feet down to conduct artifact recovery and salvage work on the wreck. The steam engine and various other artifacts recovered from the wreck site will be preserved and later displayed at the MarinerÕs museum in Newport News, VA. The divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The ship went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.

Huge monitor lizards lived on the island, and came to scavenge for scraps. This one was 4 to 5 feet long.

This lace monitor was spotted at Lake Awoonga.

Walking through Miami MetroZoo is a must for any visitor to the Miami area - just be prepared for wonderful weather now in the Fall and a long, long walk! Yesterday was no exception!

 

I have a yearly pass to the zoo and visit numerous times throughout the year. I scheduled time to go to the zoo with a friend who has the same camera I do (Canon 7D). She usually shoots fast action at gymnastics meets and wanted to learn a little more about shooting other things and maybe even learn a little about HDR. We started the day as soon as the zoo opened up and didn't leave until the late afternoon.

 

As we walked through the Asia exhibit, we went up the stairs to see the otters playing in the water. As we stood there, I heard some kids kinda screaming and when i looked over, I saw the Malayan Water Monitor more active than I have ever seen it. This thing is huge! At almost 10' long, it is just shy of the maximum size they are known to grow.

From Wikipedia:

 

The Water monitor, (Varanus salvator) is a large species of monitor lizard capable of growing to 3.21 metres (10.5 ft) in length, with the average size of most adults at 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) long.[1] Maximum weight of Varanus salvator can be over 25 kilograms (55 lb), but most are half that size. Their body is muscular with a long, powerful, laterally compressed tail. Water monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Sri Lanka, India, Indochina, the Malay Peninsula and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.

This large specimen crossed the road in front of our minibus, but hurried into the undergrowth before I could get a better photo.

The HP monitor is developing some problems so it was time to replace it. I have to get used to the new screen layout (16:9 vs the HP's 16:10 ratio) but the higher resolution is very nice! Plus less energy used and a lot less heat generated, much comfier to work in front of.

I love it, love it, love it!

Recent bat monitoring efforts by USFWS staff and partners at Alligator River and Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuges observed more than 40 bats from 6 different species including the threatened Northern Long-Eared bat. Bats were captured, examined, and tested for White-Nose Syndrome before being released back into the wild.
