Open Source Digital Camera

I bought this as a light source for digitizing negatives and slides using a digital camera. The light is bright and even. It doesn't have an off switch, but the connector to the power plug is right next to the frame, so it's very easy to turn on and off. It does exactly what I need and the price was reasonable.

I put Gargoyle open source router software on it. It can do so much now. It's a snappy router.

I used the reflector to take digital photographs of my art work. It provided stable light source.

Digital source sounds so much better. Easy set up and software is user friendly.

Wicked fast, silent, compact ... Western digital have been my go-to source for storage for many years. They never disappoint.

Can run my camera now from any USB source!

I use it as a back up for my digital camera.

I am still just a hobbyist, but it is not uncommon for me to use these several hours per night editing video. I bought these to replace a pair of JVC HA-RX700 headphones. I am not an audiophile by any means, but the sound quality is very good, and as far as I can tell comparable to the JVCs. At the same source volume level, the sound is noticeably softer on the AKGs, but that may just be because of the semi-open design. It is not an issue to just raise the source volume a bit to make up the volume difference, though. The main 3 reasons I replaced my JVCs were 1) the JVCs are pretty huge, 2) I liked the detachable cord feature on the AKGs (just the day before I did a job where I needed to monitor audio while shooting, and there were a couple times when it sure would have been handy to be able to disconnect myself from everything on the headphone side of the cable . . .), and 3) the AKGs were on sale for half their normal price. The AKGs are definitely lighter, more subtle to wear in public, and I do like the detachable cord feature. I'm not sure if the semi-open design (which will make it easier for people nearby to hear what you are hearing through the headphones) would be a problem for some people, but I think it will be fine for my purposes. Overall a very nice set of headphones, and I would recommend them.

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

For the price and compared to it's competitors, this softbox is a tremendous value. It offers versatility with removables faces and it gives the user man combinations of options when using different fronts combined with interior baffles. My advice, stock up on removable fronts and at least two interior baffles to give you more options. The grid is essential. they are not cheap but worth every penny. I use mine with a 2K Mighty Mole Richardson open face. A fantastic large source that puts out the best light you have ever seen. The freedom to mix and match fronts and baffles gives me tons of freedom and with the lights scrims fugettaboutit!!Insane gorgeousness. Anyone who uses this box should have a 2K open face source blasting thru it.
