Rising and falling of the sun "at an effective 'shutter speed' of eight years - taken using a pinhole camera made from a drinks can and a sheet of photographic paper - may be the most extreme example of its type." via @NatGeo https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/photography/2020/12/longest-known-exposure-taken-by-makeshift-camera-forgotten-inside-uk-telescope
This is extremely cool.
I’ve been asked a few times about embedding PDFs in #GlowBlogs, I’ve just discovered how: embed pdf
Walliams ... alone accounted for 14.4% of HarperCollins’ £133m revenue last year, and singlehandedly sold a third of the top 50 children’s books of the year: 2.4m copies from 11 books, compared to 4.7m between the rest.
Interesting read on the children’s book market. The point that children do not usually choose their books, parents do, reminds me of the idea most men’s books are Christmas presents.
Most of the books I read are ones my wife has read. This is not at all a bad thing.

Making & Moving with Micro:bit & Scratch
A google doc:
The Scratch Team will show you how to get up and running with micro:bit and Scratch. We’ll demo a variety of projects that connect Scratch to the physical world using micro:bit. The session will end with sharing resources that support making and moving with micro:bit and Scratch!
The event is now over, view our round-up below:
We went to The Necropolis for a walk this morning. It surprisingly quiet compared to the park. Or maybe the “graveyards in a pandemic” effect.
Saw a sparrow hawk going through the trees & stones.
Later geese over Glasgow Cathedral, should have brought a camera.
So I think I’ve figured out how to make a time sensitive advent calendar in #GlowBlogs. A bit late. It might do for another time or another time sensitive project.
It involves the Draw Attention pro and my favourite plugin Display Posts.
I couldn’t test the idea at lunchtime as the network is down today.
