Generalization of computers




   I've discovered categorizing my blogs is not as easy as I would have expected. This is due to the fact that computer devices permeate my home environment.
   My laptop is integrated with my home media/enterteinment system. My oscilloscope has a USB port for communication with my laptop.
   I've been thinking about getting an electronic keyboard which will have a MIDI port to connect to my laptop and Cound running Josep Comajuncosas's Hammond B3 simulator.
   I update my iPhone using iTunes on my laptop.
   There are a hundred or two eBooks of various titles on my laptop, as well as PDF files. User guides and service or owner manuals for a lot of the equipment I use are on my laptop. That includes my washer, dryer, car, electronic test equipment, lawn mower, chainsaw, mitre saw, drill, etc..
   I have a small, paper based, library of about a hundred books including a lot of literature, Shakespeare to Sartre, old text books from my college days, and profession related books in Psychology and Engineering.
   A virtual library is easier to access and much cheaper, but reading on a cell phone is not the most comfortable setting. A table is the minimum necessary to enjoy reading virtual books. Maybe a Kindle would be an improvement. Paper books are still an enjoyable experience and perhaps, in modern times, becoming a luxury.

   The point is that a lot of what could go here, in this blog, will be found in one of my other blogs. Computer elated topics in other blogs are: HDR photography, Sound synthesis, dongles for radio and television, and movie editing.

Perhaps the only thing to be posted here would be discussions of devices, their nature and use.
I don't think there will be much more on this blog.

Consumer Topics
Home Entertainment Systems, newest
Residential Solar Power
Music
Imaging - analog and digital

I  have approached  all of these, except Consumer Topics, with computing devices and technology in mind.
