Fine tuning the Lego spectrometer more.
Using a maglite as the source eliminates the need for a separate collimating lens.

After some failed experiments with aluminum foil, I discovered that the round tree trunk Duplo brick was a tiny bit smaller than a nominal square 2x2 brick. When placed next to a square brick and locked in place with …

Overview of the new spectrometer setup: a mag lite sits in the groove between two studs with bricks on either side to keep it from rolling, then has a single stud gap before the slit for inserting the sample into

Looking down into an espresso cup half full of espresso, with a tiny biscotti and spoon on its saucer; a bag of whole bean coffee labeled La Bermeja (forest fruits, plum, almond) with a stylized gryphon silhouette.

Nomination des Directeurs de l’audiovisuel par le président, c’est exactement ce que la loi fondamentale allemande de 1949 a interdit. Et pour cause. Comment M. Alloncle peut-on être aussi mauvais en histoire. Ou c’est voulu pour tuer la démocratie ?
