Its early and since I have it off ( awesome ) I am sitting around surfing the nets for interesting things. I found a few. Gonna mix it up a bit today.
Here are the links first.
If you want to hide your display from prying eyes this is the way. The best way is to NOT USE YOUR COMPUTER IN A PUBLIC SPACE FOR PRIVATE STUFF! Use your cell phone or deal with private stuff at home. Remember that any public access can be monitored. Hot spot your computer to your phone.

Goofy. But true. Most technology advances are to make money or to lessen the cost of something else. From construction to tech. Even growing things. There are some very fantastic pieces of tech out there that don't see the light of day because there is no money in it.

Not that I ever wanted to live in New Amsterdam ( York ) but this could be any big city. Finding a moderately priceed rental that isn't bad or have some bad segment is hard. Love the idea of parking a trailer or other type rolling home across the road from work and live there. On weekends drive it somewhere I want to take pictures of and stay there. All it would need was a net link. Via 4g phone and power via generator and heat via propane.. I've been nomadic all my life till I hit Albuquerque so.... its a thought.

Fake spotting. In fashion and tech there are lots of fakes. The report goes into such but also throws out a ridiculous price of loss of revenue for the makers of the real items. Sorry. Most people don't or can't spend 500 dollars on a bag. Sorry, I don't think a bag would ever be worth 500 dollars. Its like Diamonds... all hype and control. IF you want to have something that looks nice but your not wanting the charge then go get a fake. There are reasons to buy the original thing. Durability, Warranty, Need of the buyer.

Now.. I did some editing last night of old files. These shots are less than stellar and taken with a non DSLR. See what you can get out of a regular camera...
Building Nimbus. Not really, but through the windscreen driving one handed shot.
Kiss A Hoy. Ground tracking what is now houses sadly.
Low Color. Very limited camera. Still nice.
A Side Road. Gone now. Never had the chance to stop and get better pictures of this.
Confusion by the Masses. Stopped during a chase of Mass Confusion and set up the shot. Hand held mini camera.
Wings in flight. Durango Rally. Those silver birds weigh a heck of a lot.
Kisses Of Fire. Very nice tight flame.
What you can do with old and sometime's very limited digital files is amazing. And I am just scratching the surface of editing.
Enjoy the rest of your Veterans day. I have plans but it all depends on how energetic I feel. No headaches yet so it might be possible. Asta La Vista!
