Very Long Baseline Interferometry & the Black Hole Picture @JThatcherC

Thatcher Chamberlin Have you seen the new black hole picture? To learn more about how it was taken, let’s look at how very long baseline interferometry made it possible, with a little knowledge about waves and reflections!

Lady Bird & Little Women Endings

Thatcher Chamberlin 2021-11-28 | Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019) have similar endings! This is a comparison of the two with no edits, synced up to their final cut-to-black frames.

Circuit Milling

Thatcher Chamberlin 2012-04-11 | Here is one of my first test with my new CNC mill. It's not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but it's a start! One of the main problems I've been having is too much "wiggle" or error...I'm holding the FR-4 down with duct tape. Does anyone have any better ways to hold the work piece?
