Oh ! And I found some more 'random' pictures:

and night view from my window:


and the same night overexposed:

Is that Ursynow?

Just messing with an arcrylic block and a CreeUV'd ArcAA. It should have been a little less fuzzy but I handheld the camera.

What the hell is it?! I had an extra Zalman CPU waterblock (bottom), 40mm 80 Watt Peltier (middle), and an Intel P4 heat sink laying around so I made a sandwich with Arctic Alumina thermal epoxy for mayo. I had some free time so I thought I'd try and put this thing inline with my computer water cooling setup. I fed it 12V @ 10Amps but the heat sink got so dang hot (even with a fan on top) that it was ineffective at cooling the fluid that passed. Plus, I went to water cooling because of the LACK of fans (I use a fanless radiator setup). This contraption defeated the entire purpose. It's just another one of my failed attempts at something cool.

Hey John, what do you use for listening? That's a good looking home theater rig.

What's the Carvin stack? 4x10" and an 18"? That's surface area all right! Those vintages McIntoshes all together are 6 12's, 4 8's, with 6 dome upper mids and 4 cone tweets. Not bad for home audio. The big cabinets on the bottom are 150 pounds each. Just wait until I can fine a set of Bozak Concert Grands or the EV Patrician with the 30"!

I actually dont use that home theater system much anymore.
My computer has become my theater system, especially after I added the 5.1 Surround sound of the Logitech Z680s (they sound fantastic for what they are)



and the 24" wide screen LCD from Dell.

Where is this?

Only the Mosque survived...

I believe it's one of the areas in Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia hit by the tsunami in 2004.

Our beach...

Wow, EricMack, I didn't know you owned a beach in Hawaii!

vtunderground,
I checked out your photos of you in the culverts - good photos.
The H&S gear/systems required for me to go into any of our culverts means that it'll take about a year to arrange even if the costs involved could be justified. I've wanted to tag along with our inspection teams ever since I joined the Environment Agency (it's a 12,000+ strong Government Body for England & Wales tasked with managing flood risk, protecting & enhancing the environment for now and future generations, and ensuring that development growth is environmentally sustainable). There's no way I could ever visit our culverts as lightly equiped as you were - still your photos are all the more impressive because of the risks you were taking being down there.
Thanks for sharing with us!

If not for a bloke named Joseph Bazalgette, the Great Stink of London from the Victorian era might still be around as well!

I went snowboarding last weekend in Laax, Switzerland:






a "random" Bar @ 2228 meters
A lot of sun and quite windless.

Actually there is not much snow as habituated.

This is a tree in our courtyard.
That bushy thing at the top looks a bit like an eagle's nest, but it is not.
