In keeping with the theme of my car...

Got rid of my Nextel and picked up a Samsung Galaxy about a 1/2 yr ago. I had to give the camera a go.
My first target... a Medeco I had purchased from macgng some time ago (Thanks so much Mac!).
I probably couldn't get the lighting to turn out like this again if I tried! lol

I was so pleased with this 'from the dark side' kinda look.. lol.. it's been the wallpaper for my phone ever since.

And for my laptop wallpaper; evil homebrew pins from one of my all-time favorite pickers!
Xeo posted this pic in the chat room a long ago and I had to have it for my computer screen.
Thanks Xeo :D Check out his vid on em'... fuckin' ca_RA_zy cool http://youtu.be/9tj7KN7ML4o

Stay tuned for more obsessive behavior in the future. lol

Thanks Mike. Note the most important shortcut on my phone... resides at the top right of my screen :)

I'd also love to have that picture transferred onto a t-shirt someday. Just have to take the time to have it done.

Ha! Those pins were massively evil.

It's pretty awesome you're using that as your desktop wallpaper. Those pins were made from perfectly sized gold plated electrical connectors for a patch panel. The one with the free-floating pronged cores are diabolical.

Those top pins are wicked oldfast, and the picture too.

They look like chess men on that lab pin mat. - :smile:

Someone looking into the car might believe that those are keys to important locks in your daily routine, its not obvious that its a key collection. they will take those along with your airbags and stereo.

Geez, I hope not! lol. The likelyhood of this happening is lower given the area I live in... but it's always possible.

You live in the UP, theres a thread on environmental keys and locks that mentions a UPRR, are they still digging copper out of there?
Im thinking that a UP railroad might be a thing of the past.

In any case, If I need a 102 key I know where to go :???:
