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.

DIY Cupid's Arrow Cupcake + Treat Bag Toppers Hello sweets! Back in November (during the madness of the holidays) Fossil got in touch and asked if I would like to create a Valentine DIY project to share on their site. I love Fossil, so my answer was a quick “yes.” Download Cupid’s Arrow Cupcake Printables Follow the steps provided on the PDF download above. If you’d like you can also follow the simple directions below to create charming little Cupid’s Arrow Treat Bag Toppers (using the same free download that I made for Fossil). Option II: Treat Bag Toppers Follow the directions found on Fossil to create your Cupid’s Arrow Toppers. Fold the top of your treat bag down and punch holes as shown above using a hole punch. Thread twine or yarn through the holes (if you want a bow in the back, thread through as shown – if you prefer it in the front, thread from the opposite side). Place one Cupid’s Arrow inside the loose loop. Remember to get the free download for this project and the Cupcake Toppers + Cupcake Wraps at Fossil right here.

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.

paint chip calendar | Maple and Magnolia A few weeks ago, I saw this paint chip calendar on my friend David’s blog Cheltenham Road and knew I had to make one! It combines two things that I love…stylishness and organization. And the fact that it utilizes paint chips? Even better. I mostly followed David’s tutorial with just a few modifications. That’s the beauty of this project…it’s totally customizable. Since I planned for this calendar to hang in my office, I chose paint chips that would coordinate with the room and with the pin board that hangs on the adjacent wall. Here’s my version. materials needed: poster frame, fabric, hot glue gun, 35 paint chips, paper trimmer, corner rounder, fabric glue, foam brush 1) Purchase a poster frame (mine came from Target…$9.99). 2) Remove the edges from the frame. 3) Cover the cardboard insert with fabric using hot glue to secure it on the back, pulling tightly to keep the fabric smooth. 4) Trim the paint chips with a paper trimmer (I chose to leave the paint color names but cut off the brand).
