These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.
I featured That Dog's 1997 masterpiece 'Retreat from the Sun' a year ago for #MusicWomenWednesday, but since I determined yesterday thanks to @…'s album of year posts that it's my favorite record of 1997, I'm re-upping it. I have it …
At some point, DOPs should stop going for even shallower depth of field or even weirder anamorphic lens distortion. I'm feeling like an old guy complaining about how "you can't see anything on the screen! It's too dark". Only I'm like "nothing is in focus anymore you doofuses!"

3D print a Saturn V rocket and attach it with magnets.

Continuing work on the PIC12F683 video. Ripped out all of the early rambling guesswork floorplan analysis I did on the top metal and replaced it with a much more in-depth floorplan discussion looking at the substrate-level floorplan.
Video is now just shy of an hour 20 in length and I still need to add:
* Quick intro to digital CMOS layout and standard cells (planning to film this tonight)
* Deep dive on SRAM
* Deep dive on flash
* Deep dive on fuses/configuration…

And now that I'm below poly, I think it's time to give my microscope a well-deserved break from the near-constant imaging it's been doing the past few weeks.
369963 photos totaling 203.4 GB. Over a hundred hours of imaging time averaging around 3000 photos an hour. 27 etch cycles, 72 imaging runs.
I'll start shooting some analysis video later today talking about the device floorplan and such. But as a teaser, here's the final image just after stripping poly bu…
