Shot Notes

Always had sort of a soft spot for ladybugs, looking cute but also pretty tough with their tiny shields of armor.

In 1911 the first ‘practical’ tanks were developed by Austrian engineering officer Günther Burstyn and Australian civil engineer Lancelot de Mole [source: Wikipedia]. I can imagine animals like elephants and rhinos were used as example because of their power and thick armor skin. Somehow, the ladybug does the same thing for me here except, I never saw a tank fly away! Mmmh… a flying tank… That probably should look just as clumsy as a hovering ladybug flying by…

    One thing I’d prefer to say is always that before getting more computer memory, have a look at the machine within which it would be installed. If the machine is definitely running Windows XP, for instance, the memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Setting up more than this would simply constitute some sort of waste. Make sure one’s mother board can handle an upgrade quantity, as well. Thanks for your blog post.
