Today I was teaching photography. Two classes which both 3 hours (3 x 45min). We photographed multiple exposures on FP-3000B film with Polaroid 100 camera and flash. And a little bit goop side image processing with photoshop. Here is my test sample so that the students understood what it is about..
More tests of diffusion materials. Following some discussion with Dalantech , I've also included the red channel histogram which in the first test seemed to be suppressed slightly by paper diffusers but in this test the profiles look similar
and now I am further procrastinating by writing about my procrastination score - a lovely 63 that ranks me as an "above average procrastinator." But it also says I am more free-spirited than most. It's totally true what is says about stimulus control for me - that I need an office and visual spaces to get me working.
Who will I blame for this detour? Davidjacobs
Have I inspired you to procrastinate? If so, take your test with Procrastination Central and find out your score.
My Goal of 63:
You rank between the top 25% and 10% in terms of procrastination. That is, when it comes to putting things off, you often do so even though you know you shouldn’t. Likely, you are more free-spirited and spontaneous than most. Probably, your work doesn’t engage you as much as you would like or perhaps you are surrounded by easily available and more pleasant temptations. These temptations may initially seem rewarding, but in the longer-term, you see many of them as time-wasters. Though you likely often still get your work done, there is probably a lot of last minute panicking and unwanted stress. You may want to reduce what procrastination you do commit. If so, here are three tips that have been shown to work:
Goal Setting
This is one of the most established ways of moving forward on your plans. Take any project you are presently procrastinating and break it down into individual steps. Each of these steps should have the following three aspects. First, they should be somewhat challenging though achievable for you. It is more satisfying to accomplish a challenge. Second, they should be proximal, that is you can achieve them fairly soon, preferable today or over the next few days. Third, they should be specific, that is you know exactly when you have accomplished them. If you can visualize in your mind what you should do, even better.
Stimulus Control
This method has also been well tested and is very successful. What you need is a single place that you do your work and nothing else. Essentially, you need an office, though many students have a favorite desk at a library. For stimulus control to work best, the office or desk should be free of any signs of temptation or easily available distractions that might pull you away (e.g., no games, no chit-chat, no web-surfing). If you need a break, that is fine, but make sure you have it someplace at least a few minutes distant, preferably outside of the building itself. If you are unwilling to take the time to get there, acknowledge that you likely don’t need the break.
Routines
Routines are difficult to get into but in the end, this is often our aim. Things are much easier to do when we get into a habit of them, whether it is work, exercise, or errands. If you schedule some of those tasks you are presently procrastinating upon so that they occur on a regular schedule, they become easier. Start your routine slowly, something to which you can easily commit. Eventually, like brushing your teeth, it will likely become something you just do, not taking much effort at all. At this point, you might add to your routine, again always keeping your overall level of effort at a moderate to low level. Importantly, when you fall off your routine, inevitable with sickness or the unexpected, get back on it as soon as possible. Your routine gets stronger every time your follow it. It also gets weaker every time you don’t.
Procrastination has been reduced to a mathematical equation: U = E x V / I x D, where U is the desire to complete the task; E, the expectation of success; V, the value of completion; I, the immediacy of task; and D, the personal sensitivity to delay. For some types of tasks, my biggest stumbling block would be E—what if I'm no good? For others, it would be what, really, is the consequence of not cleaning the house for one more hour, or day? You can measure your own level of procrastination here. (via 43f)

Nano-indentation is a depth sensing indentation technique, which promises to become an important mechanical characterisation tool for electronics and sensors products. By using a nano-indentor, which can sample directly from the area of interest, engineers can begin to predict much more accurately how their products will behave.

This incredible illustration by Gonzalo Kenny from 2012 is well known throughout the internet and is representative of some of the best Moria Balrog encounter artwork around.
It is now repurposed as a LOTR:LCG event card. I used a mirror image of the original artwork to put the staff in Gandalf’s left hand, and Glamdring in the right – consistent with Tolkien’s original text.
I also added some 3D overlays over the card title, and raised the color temperature of the Balrog to make him more fiery. Lastly, a slight extension of the lower border framed the image nicely relative to the game card elements.
The flavor text is from the novels, and differs slightly from the popular movie version.
I made a new test folding :D please check this in :D

Testing RX1R - the quality from the original RX1 is already fantastic but the detail you can see from the RX1R is both punishable but amazing, even when shot wide open!
As much as I'd love to own a Leica Q, I've put the money instead towards the two RX1 and one RX1R bodies currently in the stable and treat each one as disposable then.
Also testing a Magmod magsphere copy ... as said, it doesn't soften the light but spreads it out. Might still need to look around for a small outdoor diffuser which effectively softens the light. Umbrellas are great but I've lost quite a few equipment from being blown over in the wind >_<

A lot harder than I thought. Didn't think this would take more than an hour to accomplish. Based on the obvious bisector; while the previous, more narrowed one was not. As much as I'd prefer the earlier narrowed ver/variation, it seems to require more figuring out (probably something with the inner creases). So to make things easier, ill to go back to it in the future with a larger sheet.
This is based on same concept as all my other models, if you've folded them, any amount of points can most likely be made up to infinity. But can some points be eliminated, shapes be merged and structures be increased? Well see. .

I was naughty. Had a bowl of clam chowder for lunch (no fasting, oops) and a bowl of chili yesterday night. Hello health!

This shot shows a cut into the schnitzel to test for doneness and to taste test as well.
It was delicious. ☺

Thoroughly enjoyed driving this beast both at HY and on this day.
Before giving an apple to Sister, in needs to be tested.

Paper test print. I only have a B&W printer. The dark grey around the outside was my guide, sorry if it’s distracting!
