Computer geek extarodinaire, I love to tinker with gadgets and tech items to get them to do what I want. I'm either logically artistic or artisically logical. I'm also rude, crude, semi-barbaric, socially unacceptable, and totally psychotic. On the bright side - I am potentially harmless. I'm currently trying to write some short stories about the fae as well as a novel on those same fae as well as two other novels. The programs I have for photo and image editing are: Photoimpact from Ulead, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 2X. Recently I've added DAZ Studios as well as Terragen, Blender and Google Sketch to my list of programs crowding my hard-drive.  All this and much more on an old Pentium III 450 with 396 Megs of memory and operating Windows XP. It does get interesting at time.As of December 26, 2008, I have added Vue 7 Pioneer to my list of reason of why I'm going insane.
As of January 2010 I upgraded to a new HP 2 dual core processor with 6 gigs onboard mem with 4 gig powerboost and 2.07 terabytes of Hard drivesMy email is faemike55@gmail.com

It really is just a pipe. This just makes your previous image all the more outstanding.

If you squint, this reminds me of those surfing murals they used to do back in the 70's. Well seen my friend. http://www.freaksurfmag.com/Images/clark%20takashima/jeffrey%27s%20bay-south%20africa.jpg

Trying to make out if it's stainless or chrome Mike! I would have considered it stainless, but the shine says chrome and it's been scratched a fair bit so has been in general use. Perhaps I should look at the other version! lol Got me thinking! lol Steve ;)
