a few things

First off, happy Guy Fawkes day, it's a British holiday when Guy Fawks tried to blow up the parliament. To learn more about it you can go here.
Second off, I've been learning about camera obscura which is really cool, you can make a pin hole in something, say a box, and if you cut off the other side and aim the pin hole at something you will see it projected upside down from the open side of the box. I know, you're probably skeptical, I was myself until I actually saw one in action and it really does work, it's so cool. I'm going to try and make one, pictures will follow.
Thirdly I'm grateful that it's a lovely fall day outside and that there's such cool things to learn about, like the camera obscura.
