What's with the picture? It's a photo I made from my own custom-mixed alloy, made for the sole purpose of photographing it through a microscope.Other stuff going on today is links:
Here's one I just found, the Canadian Project Gutenburg
And its Australian cousin
(Which came about because I am reading Wikipedia's article on Project Gutenburg. A frisson of danger! Some of these available texts are legal, out-of-copyright in some countries, but illegal to possess in the good old U.S. thanks to the lovely copyright legislation passed here in the '90s - the Copyright Term Extension Act, (different from the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.)
I love Project Gutenburg.
Visualize why.

Yep, it's turned off over there.
Nice place you got here, Jumper. Just a little quiet. Why not put on some show tunes?
That would be like me lecturing Scotty on nuclear power.
Hey, are we timestamped??! If not, why, darn it!
I know, I know - after all, it's my blog...
And if you haven't tried Pandora, why not? (in the blogroll)
Very cool. I once read an old book on metallurgy and was mildly fascinated. Thanks for reminding me. One of my long term projects is to save up copper wires that I find thrown out and melt it all into a solid block. My wife thinks it's a funny idea. It's insane how much energy it takes to distill 5 pounds of copper from the earth, but people throw wire away like it's diapers. I'm sure wars were fought over Cu a long time ago.
