The missing cataracts
I had cataract surgery on my right eye this morning. I had the left eye done 2 weeks ago. Last week I did a simple experiment; I closed my right eye then looked at a white wall with my left eye. The wall was a bright white, but when I closed my left eye and looked at the wall with my right eye, the wall was noticeably darker and had a brown tint to it. I'll repeat the experiment next week once my right eye has healed.

Make something
I just want to make something but I don't know what, so I'll just play with Affinity Designer 2,2 and see what happens.

I was successful at transmitting/receiving ham radio television over the Boulder Colorado amateur television (ATV) repeater.

I made a video about a rock.
This is a rock called Biotite granite. It is a medium-grained, all crystalline rock with pink feldspar, gray quartz, and specks of black biotite - a type of mica found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Biotite mica is a composition of annite, phlogopite, siderophyllite, fluorophlogopite, fluorannite, eastonite, and many others.
Biotite is a rock-forming mineral found in a wide range of crystalline igneous rocks such as granite, diorite, gabbro, peridotite, and pegmatite.
Biotite has limited commercial use but may be as a filler in paints and drilling mud or as a non-stick coating on shingles.
