Getting Ready for Playtime

Posted on by

—————————————-
Earlier this evening…heading out to play at 'my' backyard observatory (It is owned by the college where I work)….
Fun views of all sorts of celestial objects. Saturn was particularly pretty this eve.  I haven't quite worked out all the connections for hooking up the camera….but that will come before too long.

Try taking the other route

We have a 'standard' path for our morning/evening walks… 
Well, we reversed the route, and noticed these lovely Evening Primrose flowers that I hadn't noticed going the other way.
… take the time once in a while to alter your route, and look for new things along the way!

Folsom Lake 1989

Posted on by

——————————-
For #blastfromthepast  I found this nice summer ski day on Folsom Lake near Sacramento. This year there is barely any water in the lake!
…and yes…that's scrawny little me in the middle!

For any James Bond fans, the red machine in the middle is a Wet Bike…one was used in The Spy Who Loved Me…it was kind of a pain to control compared to the Jetskis it preceded!

I love this time of year with all of the fresh fruit.
Just get me some shortcake and a dab of whipped cream… heavenly!

Just Another Weed Beside the Road

Some call them Cornflowers, others call them Bachelor's Buttons…
…but most people just see weeds beside the road…
How about you?

Control two computers (even Mac+PC) with one mouse and one keyboard

This has got to be one of most ingenious little utilities I've ever seen. If you have two computers that you need to switch between (In my case, I've got a Mac & a PC on the same desk), ShareMouse will let you seamlessly transition from one screen to the other using the same mouse & keyboard.

The clipboard even works: Ctrl-C some text on the Windows machine, Command+V paste it somewhere on the Mac!

The best part… it's FREE for personal use!

A question for my San Francisco friends

Posted on by

——————————————————————-
We're taking our 14-year-old niece to the Exploratorium tomorrow, and I was wondering whether it would be worth it to bring a tripod along…are there a lot interesting things to shoot, or is it pretty much all a "you've got to be there to appreciate that" kind of thing?
(I've already confirmed that they are allowed).
