Here's wishing a huge Happy Birthday to both Harrison Ford (73) and Sir Patrick Stewart (75.) Many returns!
They've got the same birthday? That's awesome! :D

Now we need Indiana, Han, Captain Picard and Professor X all to meet. :D
Striker, that's your forte -- get on it! :P
Well, Picard and Obi-Wan Kenobi have already met:

One of the best things the BBC has ever done.

So many great scenes, Patrick Stewart was particularly great. Managed to portray so much disdain without actually saying anything.

Just about to take delivery of my new Canon 5Ds camera body. It's the worlds highest the highest-resolution full-frame DSLR ever with 50.6 million pixels. :Drool1:

Imagin the selfies.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

How many pictures did you take on your last holiday again? :)

I took about 15,000 but I kept about 10,000. I'm still working through them and I've been back about 3-4 weeks. ;)

Obviously that is not a full size image. (nor is it mine)

I kinda sorta expected to see ants and other insects (if I found them) clear as day at that resolution.

I am disappointed in you.

You know, sometimes a good day at work is a pretty damned good pick-me-up for the mood.
