    Mz Maau​​ Thinkgeek did say that if you did not use appropriate sun protection, you'd end up blister-packed!

    I hear you - being in South-west Australia, sun exposure is a high-risk activity for most people(1), and I do have quite fair skin, making me particularly vulnerable.

    I still want it though!

    (1) Typically, we have a 1-2 week period around the winter solstice when no UV alert period exists. The rest of the year it lasts anything from 2 hours to 11 hours of the day (mid-summer with UV risk levels of 13+).  Perversely, we are now getting some people with vitamin D deficiencies, as we are all that careful about sun exposure!

Non alcoholic cocktails #3

Image
A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml  Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).

They are getting ready to blow up part of the ISS! And by "blow up", I mean "inflate". 😎 And for folks here in sandgroper country, that's 5:30PM local. Originally shared by NASA Set your alarms!

This Experiment Failed

Image
(End credits, Excel Saga) Yes, today I have a very sad tale to share in my cyanography experiments. You remember last time, I shared this: Well, I have experimented further with inkjet photo paper, and made some very unpleasant discoveries along the way. The first is the streaking - without using a non-contact application method, I am not going to avoid it. The gel surface is just too fragile. So if I want to persist with this, it will be out with the air-brush. I somehow doubt I am going to find spray-cans of cyanotype sensitiser, after all.  The second is in washing. Because there is no cellulose for the Prussian Blue to bond with, the washing inevitably destroys the image, meaning that you cannot preserve the image long-term. This also means that you end up including the un-exposed chemicals in the scan, which adds considerable grain and loss of contrast - especially in the high-tones of the inverted image.  This second issue is essentially insoluble, which is a pity, as it would h
