Exo-biologists find that dragon-like life forms evolve only in systems revolving around two or more stars in tight orbit. Compare for example with flic.kr/p/2kHSXHM
Grid H5 is mainly just a stretch of Hwy 30 in that no mans land between the St. Johns Bridge and Kittridge Bridge. That is one thing I have to say about The Grid Project: it gets me out to places I would never otherwise care to photograph. But having that assignment is one way of making photos you would otherwise never make. So there is that. I think the two most interesting things I found on this grid involved the pocket neighborhood nestled along the grungy edges of Hwy 30 and the end of Saltzman Road where one can hop onto Leif Erickson Dr. In regard to the former, there are about a dozen or some homes spread across two streets and a handful of avenues tucked right off the highway. It is a loud and dirty (you'd be surprised how much detritus major roads blow off) place to find a residential area and a strangely fascinating "neighborhood" to wander. Of course, Leif Erickson and I go way back and I am a big fan of that road that winds its way through Forest Park. It is the polar opposite of the row of aforementioned homes on the shoulder of the highway. Leif Erickson almost makes you forget about the river of cars hidden behind the thick swaths of forest. I had never gone up Leif Erickson from this end, though I knew it intersected with Saltzman.
On this trip I was borrowing a Canon compact camera loaded with Lomochrome Metropolis film. This film has a grungy look to it that I wanted to experiment a bit more with, and I thought to some degree that it fit the area well enough.

Grid H5 - February, 2022
An intuitive solution for all the 1-bit strings followed by 2-bit strings, etc. For 16 bits. Essentially the same as the "Chord Catalogue" solution, but every section is upside down and backwards (i.e., enumerated in reverse and opposite endianness).
This ordering is also used by Chu Hsi for the I Ching: www.russellcottrell.com/VirtualYarrowStalks/graphicIChing...
A stunning photo I captured of the binary star, Albireo at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. Albireo is one of the most viewed binary stars in the sky and it is easy to see why. Residing at 385 light years distant, Albireo is naked eye visible as just one star. Colors represent the temperatures of the stars, with blue being hottest and red being coolest.

Cats are aliens, I`m sure of it. Cute, vicious, furry purring delights maybe, but aliens all the same. I read it in a book when I was a kid ... well, ok, it was sci-fi, but that doesn`t mean it`s not true!
(Blinky`s eye is missing, but the socket seems to be healing ok. These are some of about a dozen cats that live in one house up my street.)
Trying to get into the Flickr rhythm. Hasn't quite happened yet. Maybe with practice and a faster interface with all things binary ... until then, most of my stuff is still going up on Fotolog. I'm really not sure what the site admins are doing these days but it's my first webfoto home and besides, i'm a creature of habit (some good, some crippling). But I want to give this Flickr thing a go. It's an entirely different animal.
