When they screw us, the earth doesn’t move.
A little earthquake this morning, a 3.6, at a smidge after 5 AM. I didn’t feel it (don’t flatter yourself, Otter, it wasn’t that great), but was probably in my car by then.

Polar-to-cartesian unwrapping of flower photographs is the new flattening flowers between the pages of books. The Processing source code is available. NotCot applied the effect to chandeliers. I dorked around in Photoshop a little and you can get similar results using the “Polar Coordinates” filter…you just have to stretch out the image first.
The year.
A year on earth is measured by one complete trip around the sun. Seems simple enough but there is a problem. The earth doesnt travel in a path around the sun that returns it to its starting point. So how do we know when the year starts or ends?
