Today we brought home a female Jack Russel Terrier puppy. Not sure of the name yet… maybe “Boober” (as in the Jim Henson muppet show Fraggle Rock)

 

Here’s  some Mavic Pro 2 shots taken at Lake Benson at sunset:

 

Here’s some vintage neon photographed during a recent trip to NYC:

Here are my William Dzus artifacts. I admire him greatly. He was a hard-working, kind, and generous man. He came to the United States with little more than ambition and a name of someone to vouch for him and provide him work. He persevered though many setbacks and hardships before gaining recognition though his patent for the Dzus Fastener. He made an important contribution to the WWII defense production, provided his community with jobs, worked to preserve Ukrainian culture, and saved many from the horrors of communism.

He was also my great-grandfather. Thank you, William.

My grandfather, Theodore Dzus, was an avid amateur filmmaker. The following link is a collection of his films from the late 1930s until the mid 1960s. I’ve got his 8mm films on youtube somewhere – I’ll give you a link in a later post.

 

We’ve got a rather comprehensive archive of Dzus and Davis family photos from the 1920’s until the present. I think mostly we’re missing photos of the kids from 1998 to 2009. I’ll remedy that eventually.

Latest compact board is back from OshPark (www.oshpark.com) and testing is complete. Using the base Adafruit transimpedence amp design we were able to come up with a simple formula for convert the raw ADC values into a UVI. We’re debating whether or not it’s worth it to come up with a resistor divider which gives a bit more signal, but basically doubling the ADC readout and then dividing by 100 does give us plenty of headroom in case someone encounters some really crazy UV exposure. Additionally, we added a slow on-off warning blink should the ADC return a maxed-out value.
