It's day N of many at a friend's hospital bedside (fuck cancer). I'm just a "family member" to hospital staff. Today's NP kept looking at my screen, & after he left I looked to see why. It reads, without any context, is big letters: "White Dwarfs of Unusual Size." Oops.

I'm addicted to smoking jackets - I'm on 20 a day - I've tried the patches but, if anything, they just make them more fashionable.

It's pretty cool isn't it! Brian May is bigly into stereoscopy and has done some astronomy stuff with it too. There are stereograms from the Apollo Moon visits too - taken with a stills camera using the 'cha cha' method (move from one side to the other to take two phots of same scene).

Short split-screen clip of Blackheath Kite Day from today (Sunday!) taken with two cameras side by side, stereoscopically. Gaze at the middle, adjust your eyes (think Magic Picture from the 1990s) and you might be able to see this in a sort of depth-perception 3D effect. Arranged for parallel focus.
