It comes with a stand for your camera, two 8" tall studio quality lights (2800K Tungsten lamps for even colour temperature), a soft light box made of woven nylon fibre mesh diffuser giving you uniform illumination and eliminating harsh shadows, and a two-sided (blue/grey) non-reflective fabric background.New Look for Dick's Website
As reported in Episode 500's blog entry, Dick's website has a new look, and Dick has just noticed that he's put at the top of the home page: "This website no longer contains trans-fats." But Dick thinks that the letter read out yesterday (from Bill Mulligan) came before the new website came up. Indeed, Dick and Leo talked about DGW being free of trans-fat, cholesterol and starch in Episode 498.
Gadgets, Science and Technology
Karen Toast Conger (from Toast Floats and Toast Floats Blog) and her family are full-time live-aboard cruisers on their catamaran in the Pacific Northwest. She regularly download TWiT podcasts to learn about all the things she can't afford any more, but DGW does offer news of affordable boat-worthy gadgets, such as the Liquid Image Underwater Camera Mask (Episode 484) and the WaterBob (Episode 319), which Karen calls the Bathtub Water Bladder. She recommends the link on Dick's website to PowerBoat Magazine for boat gadgets.
Karen also says that the gadgets we love are a by-product of science and technology, and believes that we must get to know about the science policy and plans of the next American president. There is a proposed presidential debate devoted to science and technology - Science Debate 2008.
