Yet another Strobist/laptop homage – my first attempt at actually doing something with light that looks cool…

Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV (gelled CTB) sitting on the keyboard, pointing at the screen on full power; Olympus FL-36 (no gel) dialled right down sitting on the floor about 1m away to camera right; 1/200s at f/18 (to get the – fully lit! – room nice and dark) and ISO 400; WB to daylight.
All triggered with cheapo eBay trigger/receivers.

I love techiness… So, I’m having an IM conversation with my friend, talking about the lighting I used in a few photos I had just taken and uploaded to Flickr. When she asked about it, I shot a photo of it with my Google phone, auto-uploaded it to Flickr via the Pixelpipe app, and linked her to the image I had just shot.

Question from a reader:
Question of the day: What brand is the best laptop cooler?
What brand is the best laptop cooler?

Best answer:

Answer by Abacus
The best external laptop cooler is not made for laptops. It is called a blue ice container. If you sit your laptop on a layer of these bad boys with a thin layer of cloth beween the two and a fan blowing toward the laptop, you will have the BEST cooling system available other than going outside on a winter day.

There are so many products available on the market that even magazines can’t give you an honest answer to what is the best available that is designed for the purpose. I have linked about 80 of the ones available. Some have 5 star rating, some 4 star, some good ones may not be on these pages.

Readers ask:
Question of the day: Is laptop bag considered as the one item allowed in the cabin at Stansted Airport?
Is it allowed to bring a laptop bag and another hand carry bag? Or does the laptop bag considered as the one item allowed in the cabin?

Best answer:

Answer by conley39
The airport does not set the policy – each airline does. You can check on the website of your airline to find their specific policy. For some airlines, you’re allowed one carry on plus one personal item. In that case, the laptop bag could be your personal item. Other airlines hae a strict one item policy, in that case, you could only take on the laptop and would need to check anything else.

Answer by jodyr82
I wouldn’t put it in the washing machine. I would get out a sponge and clean it like that. Good luck.
