hackaday.com How Much Resolution Does Film Really Have?

Have you ever scanned old negatives or print photographs? Then you’ve probably wondered about the resolution of your scanner, versus the resolution of what you’re actually scanning. Or …

Not really related to film content but to the medium. Thought this was nerdy and interesting.

New radio station now broadcasting in Dallas-Fort Worth
  • "adult contemporary" 🤮

  • This looks to be self-produced and pretty amateur but it was so cool to me to see what a big influence Dallas and Dallas radio was to the rock scene in the past decades. From the start of KZEW (The Zoo), to Q102, to Freddy King's career and the Vaughn brothers qrowing up in Oak Cliff. So many famous bars and clubs that aren't around anymore featured. Every major label had an office in Dallas at the time.

    That's all gone now, and radio sucks. But it used to be cool at one time.

    Understanding The Apologist’s Evening Prayer by C.S.Lewis
  • An apologist is someone who makes it their work to defend a position, usually one that is under constant barrage from critics. In this case, proving the existence of a Christian God. Now that we know the context, we can examine the poem itself within that context.

    From all my lame defeats and oh! much more

    From all the victories that I seemed to score;

    From cleverness shot forth on Thy behalf

    At which, while angels weep, the audience laugh;

    From all my proofs of Thy divinity,

    Thou, who wouldst give no sign, deliver me.

    Taken in context, it begins to make more sense. Lewis is reflecting on his attempts at refuting critics of Christianity. Sometimes he fails, sometimes he succeeds. The last verse is a call to God to help out his cause, to provide solid proof of His existence, yet He does not.

    Thoughts are but coins. Let me not trust, instead

    Of Thee, their thin-worn image of Thy head.

    From all my thoughts, even from my thoughts of Thee,

    O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.

    Lord of the narrow gate and the needle’s eye,

    Take from me all my trumpery lest I die.

    The second verse is a bit more esoteric. Taken as a whole, it is not so much a confession of defeat, although it makes use of defeatist language, but an admission that at the heart of Christianity is faith. Faith within religion is a complete trust regardless of the existence of material proof. "Let me not trust, instead Of Thee", "O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.". The fifth verse is a reference to Bible verses, and the last verse is a call to deliver them from their own mortal cleverness in defending their position.

    This is my own interpretation and could likely be completely wrong, so take from it what you will.
