FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black-and-white image shows a weathered padlock securing two metal doors. The padlock is rusted and scratched, locked through thick metal loops. Two wires or cords are also threaded through the shackle, adding extra security or possibly serving another purpose. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with faint outlines of buildings and vegetation. The image evokes a sense of age, security, and quiet tension, with the padlock…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo captures a solitary pedestrian mid-stride on a gently curving paved road. The person wears a dark shirt and shorts, walking toward the left side of the frame. To the right of the road is a sidewalk marked with a bicycle symbol, indicating a designated bike lane. The background features a rocky embankment with sparse vegetation and a few small trees. The sky is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light that enhances the quiet, cont…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome photo shows a long, tall concrete wall running parallel to a paved sidewalk. A person walks alone in the distance, dwarfed by the imposing structure. The wall has a railing on top, with some plants hanging over. Behind the wall, a tall communication tower rises into the sky. The perspective emphasizes depth and scale, creating a feeling of isolation and urban quiet. The scene is stark and minimal, with strong lines guiding the viewer’s eye.…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image shows a wide set of stone steps leading to a modern building with tall columns. Several people walk up and down the steps, some alone, others in groups. The building’s facade is smooth and contemporary, suggesting a public or cultural space like a museum. The handrails frame the steps, and the composition captures movement and structure. The monochrome palette adds a timeless, documentary feel, focusing on human activity in an ur…

i was put in charge of three grandchildren for a few hours yesterday so we headed straight to ben & jerry's to split a milkshake, then explored the state theater (and even sneaked into a movie but later got thrown out for horsing around on the escalator), then i gave a nickel tour of angell/mason/haven halls, then they chased squirrels on the diag which took longer than you might think, then we looked in all the windows in nickels arcade. it all went slowly and well.

A four-, five-, and a six-year old are seated in a booth with a bright orange tabletop in front of a purple each with a small cup containing vanilla milkshake. They're eating with straws and spoons. So far, it is not a messy disaster. This is a cheerful photo of three children enjoying milkshakes at a restaurant booth. The setting is a classic ice cream parlor with its distinctive blue and yellow booth seating and black-and-white checkered floor. The children are seated around a bright orange…
This photo shows three children sitting together on a wooden bench in a public building. The setting has large windows in the background showing green grass and trees outside, with some chairs and bicycles visible through the glass. On the left is a girl with shoulder-length blonde wavy hair wearing a light pink/lavender t-shirt with a sparkly design paired with light blue shorts and pink Crocs-style shoes. In the middle is a girl with her hair in small buns or pigtails, wearing a light blue d…
This photo shows the Michigan diag, a public green space with a concrete sidewalk running along the right side. The area features a well-maintained grassy lawn with several young trees planted throughout, each surrounded by dark mulch circles. The trees appear to be newly planted or relatively young. In the background, there are mature, established trees providing a canopy of green foliage. White banners or flags can be seen hanging from poles, though the text on them isn't clearly visible. Th…

50 years ago today, at 16:09 UTC on 17 July 1975, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project culminated in the first docking of the spacecraft - but afterwards an interesting experiment took place: after they separated again Apollo (the final one; no number) occulted the Sun from the point of view of Soyuz 19. Images obtained show mostly outgassing from Apollo forward-scattering light from the hidden Sun but allegedly there is also some outer corona in the images of which #eclipse experiment was described in the mission press kit nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/st on PDF pages 37-39 and the outcome is discussed in the didactical NASA brochure ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19 on PDF pages 20-27; there is apparently also a more technical paper in a mission science report but I couldn't find that one online.

I made some progress on the Beat Bike!
The magnet mounted on the wheel passes a reed switch which is sensed by the control box (with a Raspberry Pi Pico) and then triggers the drum machine to step through the programmed sequence.
Still a lot of work to do, mostly mounting everything onto the bike, and some more code to write, but the proof of concept is all good.

I shop at the Petco there and can confirm it's incredibly dangerous... to make the left turn into the parking lot on your bike. Somehow that's not what this article is about, though.

At the Potrero Center, some shoppers buy groceries, coffee and bagels. Others buy drugs.
Employees around Potrero Avenue and 16th Street said drug usage has ramped up in the area over the past few weeks.

Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:
“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how compute…

In His Own Words: Gary Kildall
Gary Kildall was a pioneer of personal computer software. He wrote programming language tools, including assemblers (Intel 4004), interpreters (BASIC), and compilers (PL/M). He created a widely-used disk operating system (CP/M). He and his wife, Dorothy McEwen, started a successful company called Digital Research to develop and market CP/M, which for years was the dominant operating system for personal microcomputers. Thousands of programs were written to run under it, and a million or more peo…
