First page of my sketch notes from Ethan Marcotte's "Rolling Up Our Responsive Sleeves". Doodled with more enthusiasm than skill at Refresh Boston on July 31, 2013.
Page 2 is better. :)
A few notes on the experiment. This is taken with my Canon 450D, 50mm f1.4, manual focus, aperture priority f1.4. I didn't go all manual, simply because I wanted a reference point, but for future shots I will probably do that (you can observe a bit of different light levels in the later shots, which would have been avoided).
I used my newly assembled Camera Axe 5 [1] to trigger the camera, and had it set for 30 second intervals. Not using a power supply, the camera died about 12 hours in, so for time lapses in that range (and no auto off on camera), I probably should have used one. These photos was later stiched together using ffmpeg at 30fps.
Also, the set up was kinda in a hurry, so I didn't really put any thought into the actual motif, so more a test of technique.
Btw, I didn't bother adding music, so if you find it lacking, just throw this up in the background: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ

the text reads:
v & g,
thank you so much for opening your home to me. It is so generous and so kind of you.
all my love,

Missed Day 2 due to being busy all day...not an excuse, I know. Well I felt I needed to add a little declaration of love for the other half....this does technically qualify for 365 as that is my hand by the way.
Finally, the bed is done! It is modeled after this picture from Peacock Alley. Time for wall art!
I didn't want a typical bed-in-the-bag look, I wanted a formally dressed bed that was "ethnic," different, and pink. But if I were to purchase everything in the inspiration picture, it amounted to more than $1500. I wanted the same look for less--how did I do? :)
I blogged about my decorating process here in an entry titled, "A Good Sale is a Blessing from God"
Liesegang banding in quartzite in the Precambrian of Wisconsin, USA.
The Baraboo Ranges of southern Wisconsin are dominated by a hard, erosion-resistant Precambrian metamorphic unit called the Baraboo Quartzite. These rocks were originally marine sandstones and have been subjected to metamorphism and structural folding. Original sedimentary structures are preserved, such as cross-bedding and ripple marks. Baraboo Quartzites vary in color from pinkish to dark reddish to grayish. During metamorphism, quartz overgrowths formed over the original quartz sand grains. Long-term, modern weathering can result in original sand grains being released.
This unit has economic significance - it has been quarried historically and in modern times. The quartzite is broken down into gravel-sized pieces for use as railroad ballast and erosion-control rip-rap.
The lines, or "layers", in the quartzite shown above do not represent sedimentary bedding or lamination or any other sedimentary structures. This thin, closely-spaced banding is called "Liesegang banding". It usually occurs as irregular, reddish or brownish or orangish-brown iron oxide banding in porous rocks, particularly sandstones and pebbly sandstones. These features are almost universally referred to as “Liesegang banding”, representing precipitation lines of iron-rich minerals (e.g., hematite, limonite, goethite, etc.) at & along groundwater chemical interfaces. However, according to Neil Wells of Kent State University, the original concept of Liesegang banding (Liesegang, 1896) does not match up with what is seen in the rock record (see Wells et al., 2003).
True Liesegang banding refers to parallel bands of precipitate formed by diffusion along a single chemical gradient during one event. What's seen in the rock record often consists of sets of irregularly concentric iron bands, with different sets of bands quite frequently oriented in different directions, and showing cross-cutting and dissolution of older sets. Iron oxide banding in the rock record is clearly the result of numerous precipitation events over long periods of time by moving groundwater (Wells et al., 2003). Iron oxide mineralization along these bands appears to be induced by the presence of either a redox interface (change from reducing to oxidizing conditions in the groundwater) or a pH interface (change in acidity).
Because Neil Wells is the first (apparently) to point out that what geologists have been calling Liesegang banding really isn’t, a renaming seems to be in order. It was jokingly suggested in 2003 that the iron banding discussed above be called “Wells Banding”. I’m all for that.
The "Liesegang banding" seen above is unusual in that it is in quartzite, a hard, tight, non-porous metamorphic rock. Before metamorphism, the quartzite was sandstone. The banding was acquired before alteration to quartzite.

Note Bernhard's pivots at the sides of his bascinet to hinge a "Hundsgugel" visor, and the large camail attached to the bascinet with a rope running through the vervelles.
I cleaned out a friend's fridge today. Instead of the cleaned out fridge, which was boring, here is the note I left for him to find.
I hope it will make him laugh.

Did you know that Caryn and I are the awesome hostesses of a Valentine's Day handmade valentine swap? Because we totally are! You should sign up, and soon, since the deadline for sign-ups is Friday. Check it.
(Continuing my streak of nerdiness with the reference in this note... I think I might be officially in love with anybody who knows where it's from.)
