New camera

[Today’s run: 1 mile with the dog]

I was at Office Depot today to buy a box of printer paper.  The printer paper was 50% off, which was really nice.

On the clearance rack they had some GE A1255 digital cameras; 12 mega-pixel, runs on two AA batteries, connects to the computer using USB.  And it was half the price of the other digital cameras in the place to I bought one.

What I’ve been wanting was something I could use for blogging and I wanted it to have “macro” mode which would let me take close-up shots of circuit boards and such.  My previous camera was an HP photosmart 435 which I bought at a garage sale for $1.  And I also used the camera on my Blackberry phone quite a bit.

So anyway.  Here is a shot of the +5/-5 voltage regulator circuit board that I was making a while back.  The circuit board is not that terrific but I think it will work.
