AND IT'S BROKEN AGAIN! My #Lenovo #ThinkPad has apparently decided the was no need to spin the fans anymore, even when the CPU and GPU reach 100 degrees. Lovely. And this is definitely NOT the time to be without a mobile workstation …Anyway. Don't but Lenovo.

A marina neighbor sent us this photo of our goose fam. The 4 babies are getting big and doing well ^^

This motion study was captured with a Zeiss 40mm lens on a Pentax 645Z camera and 10 stops of neutral density. The 13 second exposure was timed so the train was passing in front for roughly half the exposure. The regular corrugated surface of the commuter train worked well to allow the station building to retain detail while still clearly showing the train streaking by in front. A freight train (which passed by a few minutes earlier) worked comparatively poorly for this.

@attoparsec Years ago I helped a friend to prepare his PhD dissertation about communication, and I discovered that in 1838 the Chappe sent news from Paris to Toulouse (588 km) in 2,5 hours¹.The "language" had 98 symbols, 6 control codes and 92 "chars": combining them it was possible to have 8464 combinations².~~¹ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Depeche_telchappe.jpg² https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22909590
