The New Republic.

So I ended up buying a new laptop. My "old" Sony Vaio has for all intents and purposes transitioned from fully functional, fully portable laptop to fussy desktop computer that MUST NOT be jiggled or bumped or sneezed on. I'm hoping if I keep it stationary, I can still eek out a couple of more useful years.

After much searching and pricing and re-searching and re-pricing, I accidentally stumbled into maybe what I was looking for all along on Amazon and then I saw the button for "there is a newer version of this item" which turns out was cheaper and even more like what I was searching for all along.

Computers are weird because the shopping online experience has gotten a LOT worse in the last few years. Last time I bought a laptop, one could go to any of a half dozen companies's websites and build the exact machine one wanted--color and all--from scratch, to the point that I was able to have my K-State purple VAIO personally engraved for a nominal fee.

Blah blah blah I ended up with an ASUS Republic of Gaming laptop.

And because the price was right and because it was possible and because it sounded like fun, I decided to trick it out a little with a m.m.2 solid state drive and a clean operating system install on said ssd.

January 2015 Picture Review/Critique.

So I got a Nikon D5300 camera for Birth-mas last year, as well as the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. So I spent the year with my camera in manual mode trying to think more before I took pictures. If you are a religious follower mine on the internet (and who isn't) you have probably seen most of these before. Anyhoo, here are my favorite pictures from January last year with some commentary:
