<\/center>The workstation in my office at home is pretty mean. I have a ton of RAM, a very expensive broadcast video editing card, and enough drives and devices that I literally have A: through Z: with only O: missing. Just think, if I still had a Mac I would have to come up with 25 names for them!<\/p>\nWhen I leave home, apparently, my workstation takes on a slightly different duty: virtual aquarium. I won’t say it’s necessarily light duty, because this program actually renders realistic 3D fish on the fly. I found this photo in my wife’s camera. I’m not surprised, because little PJ asks me to “see fish” whenever he sees me at the computer. His other favorite, or standby if I say “no” to the fish, is “bridge go boom!” He saw my video of the demolition of the Memorial Bridge’s west span and now associates my website with that video.<\/p>\n
As long as he doesn’t mess with any of the knobs or sliders on my mixer or other gear at the desk, I’m more than willing to donate my computer to the entertainment of my PJ and his little brother while I’m away at work. No worries there; if we tell him not to go into the office and that virtual aquarium is running, he stands obediently by the doorway and gazes in. I hope he and Jonathan always listen that well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
