I think someone’s confused about the concept of step-by-step directions.

Sun viewed through eclipse glasses
Sun viewed through eclipse glasses on Flickr.
Of the various ways I looked at the solar eclipse, my favorite was a set of “eclipse glasses” made from exposed photographic film. Everything else felt like I was looking at a picture of the sun, rather than watching something here and how, except for this and the welding helmet. And the welding helmet turned everything green.
After looking at the sun for a few seconds through the glasses, I stuck one in front of the camera and took this shot.
Solar eclipse through filtered telescope, just past greatest coverage.
Eclipse just past greatest coverage. It’s still bright out, but noticeably dimmer than this time yesterday. Filtered scope. Best thing about coming up here it’s all the people with different viewing setups.

I had an enjoyable day at WonderCon today, though my shoulders felt like they were going to fall off since I was carrying around some rather large books. It was a good balance of autograph hunt, bargain hunt, sightseeing, costume spotting and events, with a lot going on but not too many people to move.
First batch of photos is up on Flickr.
Photo of last night’s closest approach between Jupiter and Venus.
Photo of last night’s closest approach between Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter is bright, but as you can see here, Venus is a lot brighter.
Edit: Apparently tonight is the closet approach. I could swear I’d read that it was Monday. Looks like I’ll be taking another photo tonight.
If you have a clear view of the western sky after sunset, go out and look sometime this weekend. Venus and Jupiter are getting really close (visually), and will reach their closest alignment on Monday.

Local coffee place had these Green Lantern vs. The Flash tip jars
I stopped in at a local coffee place over the weekend and found this pair of tip jars on the counter.
Now that’s what I call a Flash drive!
Even better: I found the source…with directions on how to make one!
