The Right Column

Advent

I usually dude-it-up at Christmas here at my website. I've got some stock things that I can just 'turn on'. Usually the theme is Christmas, angels, lambs, seal in Glochester, Christmas in the whole wide world.

Lights are wonderful but expensive in implementation. Over the years they have become more efficient. That's good becuase in a dark place, when the sun sets early, in Winter, at Christmas, the lights really help and jolly it up a bit. Ya they do.

There is a new kind of light, that I've heard about, and it's supposed to be even more efficeint and you don't have to string wire! Of course if you live here in New England you probably have seen the commercials for it this season. What it is is ("what it is is" I attribute to Martin Lawerance, a very funny man) . What it is is a projector with some kind of laser element that projects the lights upon the surrounding environs. Well, it might freak out the wood peakers (which is fine with me). And maybe the squirils might not like it. Or passing heliocoptor? But I have two giant trees in my back yard which are so big that they are impractical to use for lights for people of modest means. and I'm thinking, maybe ya, maybe. How much can it cost? And my 120 foot spruces will be giant Christmas Trees. Horray and Praise the Lord (for Him is the season, for us, too, Him coming to visit for some 36 (33? 39?) years back 2000 years ago.

If I do it there will surely be pictures here. And maybe even a video (I'm not promising anything)

I went on line and saw some videos comparing the various types of lights available. Clearly one brand is much better than the other. Also one of the videos showed how the lights were safe. In one of them the man had a light meter and tried to get a reading to find the watts-per-meter-squared, or whatever the power measurement was for the light, to determine if the devices were, indeed, safe. A logical mind and think of situations where it may be that such devices could produce a transient effect where the powerlevels spike at the location of an eyeball. That would involve multipath reflections of the laser light.

here is a link to the site where the good ones are: www.laserchristmaslights.com, but note that they are sold out for the holidays (Christmas, etc). Good for them! See, the economy isn't totally . . .

Did the Sun ever really go down that night?

or did it just rest in the clouds till day break, carried along the far horizon?

     the idea is that the words go here    we'll over lay the words, my dear  It'll all look cool, so have no fear.

Way cool! The above is starting to look a tiny bit like sheet music, which has been a long term plan of mine. Nice! The notes are too small! I'll need a new style for that, easy. By the time this is posted it should all be more correct.

above is just random, and I mean random, notes and is not a melody that I know, or any kind of song. I just pasted unicode music to see how it will look when I open the page. Kind of curious . . . "

using the styles of {position :fixed; display: block;} we can set the left and top to 0px, and then we get the effect that the musical notes appear at the top of the browser! I suppose I should have chosen position: relative, or something else. Anyway, it was kind of a startling effect, and I kindof really liked it. The bars didn't do what I wanted. And it covers over everything there, at the top of the page, so that non of the links work anymore, but it was a cool effect. I suppose the way to contain such a thing is to use the proper styles, but I did like the effect. And that, complete with the geuggification (gitter, or dapplery, dappery) that I do here, with 'callbacks' I could make some pretty pictures with unicode. Nice stuff. It needs to be contained in a div, and I let it loose on the page . . .

It was late when I did this, so I left it that way over night to remind myself to get back to it later. It's kind of necessary to make the correct style, or I screw up the page for all of the other content. CSS can be such a beach (during a rainstorm, with dangerous riptides.) But it's a happy beach if you know the secrets, and they are. That is why my site has so many demonstration programs: so that people have a baseline from which to expand and make some real art with it.
