Mohiyi Mir - Mobile Version!


A happily-betrothed, baby-expecting, self-righteous, non-violent, counter-dominant, left-liberal, vulgar, independent, possibly charismatic, not entirely insufferable, non-obnoxious, Tom Green-esque, quasi anarcho-libertarian Quaker who is rather full of himself shares his take on politics, bicycling, volleyball, and other esoterica.

Lo alecha ha-m'lacha ligmor, v'lo atah ben chorin l'hibateyl mimenah.

Venus Transits Sol

Here's the picture I took this morning of Venus' transit of the Sun:

Okay, this isn't really my picture (credit Ray Hayes in Alabama). I never got around to getting the necessary filters and attachment for my telescope and camera. God bless the Internet.

Not to worry, there'll be another one in 8 years. Miss that one, though, and you're SOL.

Hooray, it's still a marvellous pic. I took a shot myself of the transit as projected thru a telescope (someone'd set one up quite close to where I live in college), but just with a rather second-rate single-use camera. Have to see how that works out...

Yeah, I figure I have plenty of time to not plan ahead for that one, as well. I'll try to make it to the one after that, but my wife tells me I can't live forever.

I took a shot myself...

Ooh, lemme know how it turned out!

Thanks for the pic. I missed the event. Sic transit...
