Check out the moonrise tonight. While this isn't lined up over the castle quite as beautifully as I would have liked, I only went as far as the top floor of my building to take it, so I can't complain.

Today we had fun storming the castle on an ordinary Sunday.
Yes, I mixed references from two different sources of different mediums, but they tie together because Mandy Patinkin was (brilliant) in both, so it's okay.

Don't know if it's true.
Don't care if it's true.
It's hilarious! 🤣
(And there's a good chance it's true.)

Went to see a movie in one of the most beautiful cinemas in the world, Le Colisée. Th entire centerpiece is stained glass, but sadly it's backlight want on. Stunning architecture.

You've surely heard of the Maltese Falcon. Apparently I only get the Maltese Pigeon. This was right outside the window of my Miranda upon arriving here in Malta. Note his excellent use of evil uplighting and his intense side-eye.

History dictates that now would be a pretty good time to start hiding some of the more important works held at the Smithsonian.

This bridge was constructed in the 1300s. I can walk across it to get from my place to the castle that sits atop the hill on the other side of the river. My life is silly.

Every year in Jan/Feb, hundreds of Bald Eagles flock to Colorado, apparently for the Big Bald Eagle Convention. I saw ten or twelve this morning, all hanging out in the same area. I never tire of seeing these amazing dinosaur descendants.

L.A. folks, if you have the chance, it is suggested that you do a video walkthrough of your home. This will make it easier for you to challenge the insurance companies when they try to deny your claims.
Which they probably will.
Stay safe!

LEDs make everything better. And no, you can't have too many of them at your workbench!
Just using a few items, you can add LEDs to anything you want - your PC housing, shoes, or just as decor around the house. Now that's a qwiic circuit creation!

They're back! For about a year and a half, we had between four and six Bald Eagles (two were young, still with their adolescent coloring) just outside our neighborhood, but they disappeared in early summer this year. Well, at least two of them are back! Expect lots of pictures!

Since I have the word "robot" in my handle, I figured my first post should be about one of my robots. I made this wirelessly controlled candy throwing bot in 2020, to be able to give out Halloween candy from an appropriate (social) distance. It was deadly accurate!
