2 KW motherboard

A while back I posted about a ridiculously large computer power supply. Alas, it was posted on April 1st.

This however was not posted on April first, and is really rather amazing.

This sort of marketing I enjoy;

I can possibly appreciate this somewhat more than most, having done a certain amount with electronics.

At around 2 volts, the percent of voltage drop can be appreciable, and with it comes heat. 

By the way, at the time of this post the motherboard has not been released. When it is, I think it likely the price tag may unfortunately scale with the power handling. It may not to a great degree, but I think it likely.

Some of my more interesting pictures...

Here's a general collection of pictures (not necessarily photos) that I liked for one reason or another. Some were chosen for quality, others for content, (such as humor), and many for both.
Enjoy!

The photos were all taken with a Canon PowerShot G10 except for a few early ones that were taken with a PowerShot G7, and the fireworks photos, which I took with my father's 5D MK II.

Western Night

For Labor Day this year we went over to a friends' house for a western themed evening. We had a great time, and it was enjoyed by everyone. Here are some photos, starting off with a group photo and some photos of what people were wearing:

This was me for a total of about two minutes...

This is what I looked like for the rest of the evening.
(By the way, I seem to be in a disproportionate number of photos in this post,
but, on the other hand, I usually don't have any of me, because I'm taking the photos,
so maybe it will average out all right)

Dinner was excellent, and western themed as well, with a sprinkling of green jalapeño peppers, which was appreciated by some more than others ;) Some photos from dinner:

Everybody smile!

That's me!

And plenty of humor, fellowship, and good fun to go around.

Though for some more than others

A little girl from the prairie...

And last, but certainly not least, the dancing:

As will happen when you have people different heights, we had  the occasional height mismatch...

But, the dancing was enjoyed by all, (except perhaps two boys who became invisible at the first possible opportunity!)

(I won't say who)

Apologies for the (out of focus) video, this was the next to last dance, and people were getting tired and hot, but this gives a better idea of how the dance goes than the photos.

And, winding up, a final group photo.
