“With a brand new, custom developed 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensorTM, incorporating a newly developed filter array and Fujifilm’s proprietary EXR Processor technology, the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 is poised to deliver superlative image quality that will rival currently available mid and high-end DSLR models. Taking another decisive step into the premium camera market, Fujifilm has taken the X-Pro1 to the next level featuring a New 2nd Generation Hybrid Multi Viewfinder and three prime interchangeable FUJINON lenses.”

Nest is sold out of this amazing thermostat but I’ve already downloaded and installed the app on my iPhone and iPad that will allow me to monitor and control the temperature of my home when I’m not there. This will be mine.

Also, it’s good to be back. Work has been insanely busy. It still is, but the weekend’s almost here and I’m already feeling good about it.

I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts since the system drive on my Mac Pro crashed several days ago and left me without a working computer and no access to my critical files. Luckily, I managed to recover files I left on my desktop that I’ve been lazy about transferring to my backup drives. I tried to buy a replacement drive but found out that there’s a massive drive shortage due to the floods in Thailand. Seriously, the shelves were bare in both Fry’s and Best Buy. I finally managed to find one 80GB laptop SSD, so I purchased it in hopes that I could somehow get it to play nice with the big Apple box. Long story short, I managed to connect it without using the drive sled for now but I ordered this so it will fit nice and snug for the long term. The drive flies. The disk access and overall speed of the machine has vastly improved. The plan now is to use a spare 250GB drive I had as a system backup using Time Machine since it’s been working so well at the day job. Always backup.

Samsung Transparent LCD Window

Regular LCD panels need BLUs (Back Light Units) as a light source in order to display an image; without a light source, nothing would be visible. Transparent LCDs lack BLUs, usesing instead other light sources available (sunlight, in-door lighting). In darkness you can activate the transparent BLU, designed specifically for transparent panels, as a light source.

An advantage to the transparent display is its energy efficiency. When the transparent BLU is not activated, the transparent LCD uses only 10% of the electricity used by a regular LCD screen of equivalent size. Rumor has it, it’s going into mass production in just a few months.
