Chronophoto Is A Fun Game Where You Guess The Age Of Photographs

January 29, 2023 by hubs 2 Comments

Chronophoto

I thouroughly enjoyed playing a few rounds of Chronophoto. It’s is a game in which you guess the dates of five historical photographs. The more accurate your guess, the higher your score. Each photograph has its own set of clues which give away the era — film quality, subject matter, products, uniforms, fashion, vehicles and colorization,

My scores are all over the board, but after about 5 rounds I got a high score of 3,315. When I was wrong, I was really wrong. I did get a couple guesses right on the spot – resulting in 1,000 points each – but being wrong is almost more interesting.

Champagne OK

June 11, 2022 by hubs Leave a Comment


This is a random clip taken from “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” (1976). Whether it’s the botched editing job between “oooo-owwww”, the palpable sense of self-satisfaction Robert Reed exhibits after he’s contained the chaos of bubbly eruption, or the final announcement that the disaster has been averted, this tiny element of film makes me feel ok…Champagne OK! After all, having had your child banished to the purgatory of a giant bubble, wouldn’t you-yourself feel that same sense of ‘victory’ having single-handedly contained an outright onslaught of smaller bubbles?

When I was a very young kid, I remember sitting on the couch next to my mom and loving this movie, yet probably not understanding it at all. I just added this to my netflix queue and can’t wait to see it again for the first time.

Maps of Dune

May 29, 2022 by hubs Leave a Comment

The First edition, first printing of the science fiction classic “Dune” by Frank Herbert has an unusual map of the stories setting printed on the dust jacket. The linked edition had an opening bid of $6,500 but didn’t sell. I haven’t yet read (or watched) Dune but I’m posting this here for when I do.

After posting this at reddit I was pointed toward these:

  • Original Map by Dorothy de Fontaine (missing center)
  • Hi-resolution recreation
  • Map of Arrakis (Martin Sanders, from the Folio Edition)
  • Map of Arrakis (Matt Griffin, Dune Deluxe Edition)

The Moon Dressed In A Saturn Costume For Christmas Eve

April 24, 2021 by hubs Leave a Comment

Saturn Moon

Landscape, astro, and adventure photographer Francisco Sojuel took this incredible image of a waning crescent moon pierced by a thin cirrostratus cloud. The image appears as if it is the moon is dressed in a Saturn costume. The dimly lit silhouette of volcano Pacaya and the Guatemalan highlands drape the foreground.

The bottom-facing crescent is lit from below by the sun, just under the horizon, a few hours before sunrise. The image was taken on December 24th, 2019, two days before a solar eclipse, placing the sun almost directly under the moon and compounding the effect. The rest of the moon is lit by ashen glow via a fairly lengthy exposure time.
