I was saying when Julia and I did the solar system model that I needed to do more projects that I could take from conception to completion in the course of a single evening.
Here’s some more modest time commitment projects.
Last night, Julia and I conceived and completed a little stop motion animation about a character called Blobby.
I haven’t tried to use sync sound with animation in a while, but I think it turned out pretty good.
On a previous night I decided to turn some of my projection TV optics into an LED lighted viewer.
There’s a little battery pack and switch, and a bunch of LEDs and wiring, all tacked together by hot glue. That hot glue gun might be the best dollar forty-nine I ever spent.
Look! It glows!
And it can make important pictures look even bigger and more important.
And speaking of projection TV optics, the moon is out now, so I can show you some more interesting pictures from my homemade telescope.
