First Saturday off since I can remember





So I'm off today for the first time since like March. Going to take the boys to all their classes. Serious, they didnt have all this stuff when I was a boy. Isaac does gymnastics - he's 3!!

Anyhow, here is a few more photographs.

Oh. special note. There are 2 types of photos that I put on the blog. My favorites and Customer favorites. If its a little too artsy for you - its because I like it.



Wow this is cool - imagine there is a use for gamers after all!!! I told Marianna.

A project that harnesses the spare processing power of Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) to help understand the cause of diseases has entered the record books.

Guinness World Records has recognised folding@home (FAH) as the world's most powerful distributed computing network.

FAH has signed up nearly 700,000 PS3s to examine how the shape of proteins affect diseases such as Alzheimer's.

The network has more than one petaflop of computing power - the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second.

"To have folding@home recognized by Guinness World Records as the most powerful distributed computing network ever is a reflection of the extraordinary worldwide participation by gamers and consumers around the world and for that we are very grateful," said Professor Vijay Pande of Stanford University and a leader of the FAH project.
