Bunny invited me along to a computer show at the War Memorial Auditorium [1] in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida [2] (and personally, I found the War Memorial Auditorium to be eerily reminiscent of Soviet style architecture—an uninspired box like construction painted in institutional shades—very ugly). The computer show itself was about as inspired as the building, which wasn't much.
Bunny did not find anything she wanted at the show, but amazingly enough, I did:
[Tripod designed by Doc Ock] [3]
This small desk tripod designed by Dr. Octopus [4].
Back in August, I lost my small desk-top tripod. Actually, I didn't lose it as much as it fell apart while taking pictures of Connestee Falls [5]. I had originally picked it up at Wal★Mart [6] a few years ago and since August, I've been to a few looking to replace it, and apparently, no one makes that particular desk-top tripod anymore.
So when I saw these at the computer show, I was ecstatic. Even more so as they were $2.00 a pop, so I picked up a few.
And that's the only thing we found worthwhile there.
