WOW - first time i had 4 cores under my desk… and in such a damn sexy metal box too…

this machine rules and i loaded it to the brim with software and storage and RAIDed up 1.5 TeraBytes of hard disk space and this puppy is stable like a coin ducktaped to the underside of a 4 ton rock…

i had 3 processes over 100% CPU usage SIMULTANEOUSLY… while listening to iTunes, browsing the web, moving 1.5 GB files (on the same drives that the video encoding process were working)… and not even a burp…

i am so grateful to have access to this machine… and look forward to digital creativity explorations and explosions in the coming times!

if you want one of these, and you think you can actually make use of the horsepower… you don’t need to think twice about if its worth it… every penny and more….

so easy to install extra memory and hard drives, that i could kiss the designers feet…
so fast and stable that i feel that i can create anything digitally imaginable…

anyway… i don’t like to tell people what to do, but… GET ONE!

Organic semiconductors make cheap, flexible photovoltaics and LEDs from PhysOrg.com
Imagine T-shirts that light up, or a beach umbrella that collects solar energy to run a portable TV. How about really cheap solar collectors for the roof? All this and more could come from cutting-edge research at Cornell that demonstrates a new type of organic semiconductor device which shows electroluminescence and acts as a photovoltaic cell.

I don’t think i would ever have guessed i would be giving my mom high tech mothers day presents… but i just handed over a fancy san disk Ultra II Plus - combo SD-chip / USB-action…

loaded with all sorts of pictures from the journey…

can’t wait to see what she photoshops with all that raw material!

(3 years ago she swore she would never turn on a computer!)
