I Bought The PowerColor Radeon R9 270X Graphics Card…

Dennis

I mentioned weeks ago that my old graphics card was toasted. That happened in a very bad time as I had other costs to pay the last months. I had some savings but I did save the money for something different. Anyway, I can be days and sometimes weeks without a computer game but then, well you know what I mean if you are gamer like me… you simply come to a point where you miss it to play games if you do not have proper hardware for it. I had this NVIDIA GeForce 7100 GS as a replacement and … Continue reading I Bought The PowerColor Radeon R9 270X Graphics Card…

The question when the relationship or even the further domestication of cats started is an interesting issue.

The last scientific … Continue reading Initial Cat Domestication Possibly Begun In China Rather Than In Egypt

Weekly Photo Challenge: Window

Dennis

The motto of the latest Weekly Photo Challenge is “Window”. I found some photographs with windows on my hard drive and also some where I look through a window with my lens. But they all were rather boring. I thought I could not participate to the running photo challenge. But then I stumbled upon the image above and wondered why I did take a photo of a tomato in front of my mother’s kitchen window. It must be some time ago and I guess it was meant to be an experiment at that time. I can remember that I was … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Window
