Boomer was out of town this weekend so Pookie and I figured we'd try to be useful while she was gone and get started on building the new garden beds. Saturday was beautiful and warm and sunny, but we opted to sit on the couch all day, saying our goal of building two of the beds wasn't so unreasonable to be doing all on Sunday, right? So we got outside first thing on Sunday morning, set up our workspace with the boards and hardware and power drill, and it was sunny and warm... and then we discovered that our trusty old drill's battery no longer holds a charge. And neither does the backup battery. And when we dug out the puny, weak power drill that totally sucks, we discovered it also doesn't hold a charge. So we drove out to the hardware store, bought a backup battery, and set it to charging while we ate lunch. Finally, an hour and a half after we'd planned to be starting, we were all, "Yay! Let's get building!" And we looked at the battery charger... and it was still charging. Okay, let's get sitting around and stitching instead. That works too. So we spent about an hour frequently glancing over at the charger only to discover it was still blinking. We kept getting increasingly comfortable -- let's change into leisure pants, because that'll totally get the thing to finish charging! Let's get out our stitching, that'll get it charged! Let's get Rollie to curl up on a lap and fall asleep, that'll get it charged! -- but nothing tricked the thing into charging faster. Finally I figured I'd take a picture of the blinking light, because it had truly become the story of the day. And looking through the viewfinder at it, it appeared something was wrong. It... wasn't blinking anymore. Oh no! It's BROKEN! Wait, no -- it's charged! WOOOOOOO! So yes, this is a photograph of the exact moment the waiting came to a glorious end.
And it took us only about an hour to get all the work done... four hours after we'd started, and about 15 degrees colder out. Thanks, stupid battery.

Blinking at the end of the road.
Blink back to let me know."

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne
The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford. It was built by Volker Stevin in 2000.
The bridge is sometimes referred to as the Blinking Eye Bridge due to its shape and its tilting method.
This tilting arrangement allows ships up to 82ft in height to pass under. The bridge takes as little as 4.5 minutes to rotate through the full 40° from closed to open, depending on wind speed!
Muni Railway LRV # 1521, a Breda, inbound on the K Ingleside line at St. Francis Circle (intersection just off-camera left...) Taken by a Nikon D40x at ISO 400 with a Nikon 18-55mm non-VR kit lens (at 42)
Note the merging traffic sign, rotated 90° clockwise of normal... main traffic flow (3 lanes worth!) is from the left...
The blinking red signal has now been replaced, by a full traffic signal... (4/2013)
Located at a distance of about 3,600 light years, the Blinking Planetary consists of a central star (magnitude 10.4) and surrounding nebulosity from when the central star went nova. It is called "blinking" because to the visual observer, the nebula appears to blink as the eye moves from focusing directly at the bright central star to looking more peripherally, when the nebulosity is more easily seen.
Distinctive to this particularly planetary nebula are two "fliers", to the side, that appear to be shock waves from ejecta of more recent explosion, probably within the last 1,000 years or so.
While bright, this is a difficult object to image because of the subtle contrasts within the nebulosity and its small size (total diamter is only 27 arc-secs). The size of this image is approximately 20.7 arc-min wide by 13.8 arc-min tall. The nebula is about 100 arc-sec in diameter.
Object: NGC 6826 (Blinking Planetary Nebula)
Date: September 28, 2013
Location: Rancho Santa Fe Observatory
Optics: Celestron C9.25" with f/6.3 focal reducer
Guiding: B&L 4" SCT piggybacked with PhD software
Camera: Nikon D5100 at Prime Focus
Exposure: 437 6-sec exposures at ISO640*
Stacking: DeepSky Stacker with flats and darks
Processing: PixInsight for Background Neutralization and PhotoShop CS6
* In order to avoid saturation of the central star and nebulosity the high number of shorter exposures provides superior raw data to longer exposures.
Green is my favorite color; as a kid, I remember choosing green things over non-green ones (that is how I got an early start on my love affair with the pistachio Italian gelato). I even remember saying that "when I will be a grown-up, I will have my car's lights in green and not in red". Everybody used to laugh at the silly kid and over the years, while still being fond of the color, I actually recognized the utility and the meaning of colors in cars' lights. But during my visit to Mendoza, Argentina, I actually saw this old Italian car with green blinkers. No, it is not photoshopped: the plastic was green, the bulbs inside were white, and this illegally parked car was really flashing green. I suddenly went back to when I was a kid and had to take this picture.
Il verde é il mio colore preferito; ricordo che da bambino preferivo sempre tutto quello che era verde (e cosà nacque il mio amore per il gelato al pistacchio). Ricordo anche di avere detto che "quando un giorno saró grande anch'io,la mia macchina avrá le luci verdi e non rosse". Naturalmente tutti i "grandi" si misero a ridere e, col passare del tempo anche io mi resi conto dell'importanza di avere le luci rosse. Ma durante il mio viaggio a Mendoza, in Argentina, ho notato questa vecchia Fiat Uno con le frecce verdi. Non é una elaborazione con Photoshop, era proprio plastica verde con bulbo bianco, e la Uno in divieto di sosta mandava veramente questi lampi di verde. Mi sono ricordato della frase detta da bambino e non ho potuto fare a meno di scattare questa fotografia
Mendoza, Argentina
Blinking New Years revelers at 03:25 in the morning... does solve the mystery of the disturbed and missing bulbs in the planters however.

Is it even possible to invent something more perfect?

Picture showing the sculpture "Blinking Leaves", which is sturdily rooted in the exhibition space like a big tree trunk, but hundreds of tiny paper leaves are what makes its imposing presence truly unfold.

In a blinking Lion :) But today we had a lesser experience with the car... somebody drove a mirror off... of course didn't leave a note... grrrrrrrr
I'm pretty sure this is a lanner falcon but i'm open to correct... anyway was lucky to catch it mid blink!

Blinking is an indication of emotional arousal in horses - Google Hemmings, Dopamine, Eye Blink and Horses to learn more. Whatever made this mare look obviously caused her some excitement that she'll recover herself from as she goes back to grazing among the bracken.
This is taken at the old US. naval base in KeflavÃk, Iceland.
The army is now gone and most of the base is now used for educational purposes. The airport however is still a commercial airport and therefore closed to the public!
Blinking City is a project investigating the inadequacy of traditional maps for city environments characterized by fast pace transformation and urban growth. As soon as the map is done, the city it describes has already gone. We transferred one of the Blinking City pattern, based on a collage of several Hutong neighbourhoods of Beijing, onto a wall of a dilapidated courtyard house in Xianyukou district, located in the core of the city.
The rest of this project is optional, and consists of making a weatherproof housing for the windtrigger and battery. You may skip it, or make up your own version (I wasn't very happy with my own solution).
I have been meaning to make a cute little lantern to hold tea candles to put in the trees in our garden, but haven't gotten around to it. The plan was to use jam glasses and wire of some sort to make a harness for the glass.
Now I get a chance to figure out how. The only change I have to do is to flip the glass upside down, and use the lid to hold the LED and battery in place.
You need:
Glass and lid
Knife
Stiff wire and wirecutters (you could use rope actually...)
Instructions will be up on pappmaskin.no soon.
Blinking locked with the keyholders all on holiday according to the neighbours. "What did he want", I heard the mans wife say as I despondently walked away.
Put off straight away I was! Had a wander round the graveyard as you have to when a church is locked. Never saw much to interest me,but as I always say to myself in this frustrating situation, I'm sure the locals love it (if they are allowed in)! Decided that I still had time to do a couple more so put Capel St Mary in the satnav and off I went driving past the Case Is Altered, which is also the name of my Dads pub in Ipswich.

It was don delillo, whiskey neat,
And a blinking midnight clock
Speakers on a tv stand, just a turntable to watch
When the smoke came out our mouths
On all those hooded sweatshirt walks
You were a stroke of luck
We were a goldmine and they gutted us
And from the sidelines
You see me run
Until I'm out of breath
Living the good life
I left for dead
The sorrowful midwest
Well I did my best
To keep my head
It was grass stained jeans and incompletes
And a girl from class to touch
But you think about yourself too much
And you ruin who you love
Well all these claims at consciousness
My stray dog freedom
Let's have a nice clean cut
Like a bag we buy and divvy up
And from the sidelines
I see you run
Until you're out of breath.
And all those white lines that sped us up
We hurry to our death
Well I lagged behind
So you got ahead
