Lindsey Stirling Concert

We interrupt this regularly scheduled school-night for this news:

Lindsey Stirling totally rocks in concert.

If you have no idea who this is, take a moment to educate yourself:



We just got back from seeing her in Fort Lauderdale, and it was awesome. She's so cool.

I didn't take any photographs or video, since I knew anything I would have taken would be crud compared to what I could find, and besides that I'd SEEN photos and videos of her, I wanted to see her in concert! So I did.

Absolutely must share this outfit she wore for the first "set" though. White satin asymmetric riding jacket with white feather trim on one flank and black sequins elsewhere. Just a fantastic piece. It was buttoned up the left abs with a huge black brooch. Absolutely adored it.

She also wore a white dress for Song of the Caged Bird, and the bustle was made of feathers! Way pretty. It was so lovely hearing her sing in person.

She also wore a brocade hood and vest piece that, to me, reminded me of the SCA. So definitely upholstery fabric, but glittery!

Seeing her dance and play in person was just, so wonderful. My face hurts from cheering and my feet hurt from dancing/jumping.

OMGOMG she did a Michael Jackson melange that was awesome. Even wore a silver sequined glove on her bow hand!

I'm going to share these photos, but they're not mine. They're available on Flickr and I'm posting them without permission, so poke in and see the photographer's page eh? I'll leave their links below the photo for credit and in the References at the bottom!

SO MUCH FUN. Now must to bed, I have much work to do in the morning.

Putting the pictures after the jump, since I've left them large size!

The back of the awesome jacket. Note the feathers on the left flank, and black roundlets up the same side. Such a great jacket.

A great photo. I snagged it to show the bust of the jacket, but the brooch came loose in this shot. Still a great shot.

The Caged Bird dress. Beautiful.

Singing! You can just barely see the white feather bustle. Such a beautiful dress! She sings beautifully too! So talented!

The brocade hood and vest. Had to be SO hot, but it twinkled gold when she danced and just looks amazing.  The hood stayed on the whole time; magical peacock hair.

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon.

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
