We start with a basic laptop for video editing and posting. Powerful enough to get it done.

Here we have the Pharos Bag! Contents reveals over the next couple photos.

Top left is a couple microUSB cables and a charge. Top middle is the Zune HD 32GB for in flight audio entertainment. Top right is empty, but it’s the memory card box in the next photo. Bottom left is the charger for the Canon S100 in the bottom middle slot. In the bottom right slot, I have my Galaxy Nexus battery charger and 2 spare batteries.

Several MicroSD cards, memory sticks, adapters, Eye-Fi, etc…

In  the side compartment of the Pharos bag, I have a handful of screen cleaners to get the crap of demo devices for prettier photos.

Some money and batteries for the video cam microphone.

One of two HD Video cameras and the microphone. I am trying a new video camera out, but if it doesn’t do well for me, I am bringing along old faithful.

Finally, a nice monopod for those long interviews with vendors.

I got a case of these in, busted them and my wife thought they were so cute that she claimed a couple.

I am reading some websites to see which that I got are rare and found that this clear blue one is.

I’ve also found that there were others released earlier which is a no brainer since the ones I got are series 02.  I guess I am going to be spending money to complete this collection. Why? No idea, but I am a collector by nature. It’s in me.

Hello. If you have read this blog for quite some time, you would know that I used to have an awesome pond with some huge Koi in my courtyard. That is no longer the case. Last winter, all 4 of our largest Koi, the pretty ones with the beautiful fins, died to what we believe was a predator attack.  A couple of them had signs of damage as if something tried to take them out of the water with teeth or something. The looked very sick and eventually died. At this point, my wife decided to give the rest of the fish to a friend of the family. She now wants to just fill the pond in, but I think there is something more we can do with this. I just don’t know what we can do.

Well, I’ve finally finished with this project and wanted to share what I have done with the courtyard!

Here is what it looked like back before the pond:

After we got it all done, here’s what it looked like right after it was finished:

After we lost our fish, this is how it looked like for almost a year:

And here it is this evening:

UPDATE: 2 More Photos of the finished product:

Maybe I will grab some better shots once the grass is greener and the plants have all bloomed. Actually, the photo doesn’t do it justice at all. I’ll update this post with more photos tomorrow.

Here is a gallery from back when we installed the pond.

Some people on YouTube asked to see my office, so here goes. My son’s computer used to be in his room, unconnected. Now he’s getting older, we need to get him online some for certain things he wants to check out, so I brought it into my office so I can monitor his internet activity. He’s only 7, can’t give him the net in his room, ya know.

Since Brett was born, I lost my office, so I made due with what we had. I used our formal living room and split it into two with a huge desk. This is kind of a reception area if you will. 

It’s not much, but it’s mine.

If this story is true, WOOT WOOT… Awesome. She’s cute, witty, and with the story public, she should have no trouble finding a job now. I kind of feel a little bit like Ike though. It almost seems kind of staged. Maybe free pub for Scottrade, Crunchgear, or Farmville? Who knows, but Ike’s take is funny. Head over HERE to check it out. Make sure to head over to theChive for the entire 33 photo dialog!

This story upends the funny one from yesterday though. Some flight attendant got pissed off and cussed out the passengers, then made a quick exit using the plane’s emergency slide. Quite a way to quit (or be fired).

On his way out the door, he paused to grab a beer from the beverage cart. Then he ran to the employee parking lot and drove off, the authorities said.

He was arrested at his home in Belle Harbor, Queens, a few miles from the airport, and charged with felony counts of criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.

I sure as hell hope this scoop is for real folks. For the 1st time in quite a while, I am excited about a new phone. No, not the kind of excitement that I get here and there that goes away with the wind. This excitement, for me, is original iPhone hype type excitement. (you know, the excitement many had prior the iPhone’s launch)

Add this all up. Dell – One of my favorite companies and the creator of my old love, the Dell Axim. Next up, Windows Mobile. Well, you know I have been a Window Mobile Device MVP for 7 years. I recently started giving up on Windows Mobile with 6.5’s release. It wasn’t enough. Too little, too late. Well, 7 has me a little reinvigorated.  Now, sprinkle some impressive looking hardware into the mix. Add a slide out keyboard, OMG… I love me some sliders. Finally, throw all this on the carrier I already use. You have got to be kidding me. PERFECT.

The renders on these slides look slick as hell, but they’re no match for the spec sheet, which looks even better: 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processor, WVGA 4.1-inch OLED display, AT&T and T-Mobile 3G, five megapixel autofocus camera, 1GB of flash with 512MB RAM plus 8GB of storage on a MicroSD card (non-user-replaceable, we’re assuming), GPS, accelerometer, compass, FM radio, and full Flash support including video playback.

All that and it looks hot too? Wowwweee… I am so excited. Please let this come fast Dell. As soon as 7 is launched, this should be my new daily driver.
