Eclipse

I'm not even gonna, because the eclipse will eclipse any interest in what I would post today.

I will note:

I made a Turbo Affluent White Trash eclipse viewing box:

>Sonicare box from Costco
>Piece of white paper taped to the bottom
>Cut the NASA designed recommended slots out
>Tried the NASA suggested tinfoil with a pinhole for the aperture
>It sucked because foil won't punch roundly and clean
>Discarded that design, replaced it with a pinhole in an index card - neat and tight
>Covered the inbound aperture index card with foil, because reflecting the sun off the aperture isn't a bad idea, but using foil for an aperture is - NASA is half right...
>Blinkered off the whole Sun aperture area with a divider, which they should have thought of

Anywho, Cat Pictures and a dumb-ass as a bonus!
