Re: Portege R835-P56X wireless - why does it suck? - Toshiba Forums I think its the Intel Wifi 1000 card stock card. I replaced it with the Intel Wifi 6300 and added a third antenna for around $60 and it was easy. I have a new Cisco E4200 and I have seen 450 Mbps right next to the router but upstairs where I use the computer, its about 108 Mbps. I enabled QOS, WMM and prioritize on the 5 GHz band and can easily stream AVHDC Hi def video from my server. I could not get this from the stock card no matter what I did. I ordered the parts off Amazon, and did the install myself. As for the third antenna, I just coiled it up and taped it to the DVD drive. Shame on Toshiba for shipping with this crappy card.
c u r i o | Imaging rare, unusual, and intriguing objects at the Brown University Library While the vast majority of my work involves photographing items in collection, it may also have become clear in my blog posts that I’m occasionally asked to document library events and library spaces. All of Brown’s libraries have some incredible spaces – for research, for teaching, for collaboration, and for study – and Brown has been diligent in their efforts to maintain their libraries as 21st-century learning environments. As a result, I often have the opportunity to document the renovation of these spaces, as well as the items in Brown’s collections that are on view in the libraries. This past October, Brown alumna and generous Brown University Library supporter Elizabeth Z. Chace (’59, PHB ’96 hon., GP ’13, GP ’15) donated Break Up of Time, 2006, by John Okulick. The challenging part about photographing the sculpture is its location; it’s great for visibility, but it’s tough to get a nice, straight-on shot of it.
Millennium Magazines Megawords is an independently published experimental media project that takes the forms of a photography magazine and related installation projects and public events. We are interested in creating an on-going narrative that examines daily life through the documentation of our surroundings and experience. We do this by working with artists, photographers, designers, writers, musicians and creative people in a collaborative and direct manner to make a self-published, bi-annual printed magazine that offers an alternative viewpoint to the prevailing culture of emptiness, advertising and inauthenticity. In the magazine we seek depth, meaning and relevance. We speak with a voice free from commercialization and competing novelties. We look at how people live, how they face adversity, how they have fun, how they make and think about art and culture, how they build, and how they love.
Fuck Yeah, Book Arts! Photos 780 Notes Down The Rabbit Hole by Dina Makarita is a tunnel book that evokes the feeling of time passing as you fall into a deep REM sleep, when your most vivid and bizarre dreams occur. The overall form is an expandable sequence of bright turning shapes representing depth of sleep, while the rotating shapes mimic the movement of the dreamer’s eye during REM sleep. Packaging includes instructions for assembly, a dream journal with interpretations, a photo book of the project, and all the necessary paper materials for creating your very own dream tunnel book.
Views of the World | worldmapping beyond mere description 1. 1st Arrondissement — The 50 Most Stylish Neighborhoods in the World Almost every city in the world has that one area where cool kids congregate. Whether it's the shops, the bars and restaurants, the galleries and museums, or just some unidentifiable vibe that the neighborhood exudes. These are the places that emerge as destinations for unique fashion, style, and culture. But it's more than just a fashion sense that make these 'hoods stand out—art, architecture, and a booming subculture scene are all factors that give some places the extra something that make them more stylish than others. Paris, New York, and Tokyo may be the first places you think of when it comes to style, but it's time to think beyond. Written by Julian Kimble (@JRK316)
