Pull Chain for Light
In the Instructables article “Bias lighting on the cheap,” an extremely inexpensive way to backlight your monitor is described. These backlights (also called bias lights), cast a pool of light behind your monitor, significantly reducing eyestrain. I’ll have to try this sometime. The interesting part that makes this all so cheap: “Most expensive bias lights are 6500K (which is the colour tempature of white on nearly all LCD and plasma screens) Fortunately, most daylight simulation bulbs are that, too.”
Welcome to the best picture ever. “dooce: Not very happy about his recent bath.”
I’ve stopped updating my recent post about the bridge collapse, as information can reliably be located at many places online. One particularly useful website to follow is the Star Tribune’s Ad-Free dedicated page covering the collapse and all the associated, from the human stories to the engineering work to assess the cause.
Of particular interest lately is the “Motorists find an unexpectedly easy commute” headline, and Bush’s visit (with accompanying ideal of cutting through all the paperwork). I’ll be interested to see if an accelerated timetable on building an important span, all under the intense scrutiny of the public, can be accomplished.
The rented lens made shooting just about anything fun.
The picture is only the beginning in “Activision Reports Sluggish Sales For Sousaphone Hero.”
