These were made in Del Mar, California. It was a very quiet day and the ocean was trully calm.

A few pictures i've made recently

We get a lot of junk mail almost daily. Most of it is coupons, advertisments, free catalogs, free news papers - just the regular junk we americans receive every day. While i dislike all this unwanted mail, I usually tolerate it by putting all of it into a bin for recyclabale materials. However one mail card has caught my attention - at a glance, it appeared that we were being notified that we are due for our regular AC and heating maintenance tune-up. The "Service reminder" did say that we are DUE. However, we just had our system installed half a year ago by my father, so I knew very well that we were not due for any service.

I was searching for feature rich navigation system for quite some time. I had a few specific functions I was looking for and it just happens that most of the common systems avaliable for sale are lacking one or more of these features. Here is the list of what I want:

1) Good navigation - sounds trivial but a lot of the lower end units have very small databases of points of interest, outdated maps, poorly designed interface.

2) Factory radio integration - FM transmitters re finiky, unreliable and do not mute the sounds of your stereo system when navigation prompts sound.

3) BlueTooth - very important feature, esecially here in California where a first time ticket for cell phone use while operating a vehicle is $130. But the system also must be able to sync the contacts from the phone, so the driver doesn't have to fiddle with the phone in order to call someone.

4) Rear view camera - I drive a mid-size SUV with rather limited rear view. It would really help during parking on manuvering in tight situations to see how close you can backup and if there is anything behind the car.

5) Expandibility - features such as iPod integration, ability to read USB flash memory, SD memory cards, play audio, video, accept XM radio, MSN Direct, traffic updates, etc.

For a while i ran a very old video card in my computer. It was sevierly underpowered and cound't handle any kind of decent 3D graphics on my Sceptre 24" + Dell 17" LCDs. So it was time to upgrade to something better that could handle multiple monitors and have enough power to draw all of it in 1920x1200 for 3D apps. Now, since I've always been a big fan of nVidia video cards (mostly due to their high quality, trouble free drivers, great support and raw power) I've looked at GeForce 9800GTX+, 9800GT and similar. The price point was about right for me and before the purchase I decided to make a little research. Well, good folks from www.Overclockers.ru pointed out the simple fact that in most very graphicly demanding apps (read games), bretheren from ATI produces much better results. Especially so at high resolution with all the anti-aliasing cranked up. After two days of further reasearch it became clear that even for the same money, ATI's current offering is better than that of nVidia. At the end I've decided to try Radeon HD 4870 1Gb by Diamond.

Finally HyperSensory.com has been updated with a new version of Drupal. New features and content coming soon!
