Actually, they are exactly what you make them! You get to visit places you'd probably never normally get to see and do things like traverse the Panama Canal which is incredible. We hate sitting on beaches all day and prefer a holiday where you get to explore. A cruise is just a floating hotel.

Well, yeah, I can kind of see the attraction, but compared to skiing? Nothing compares to skiing! Nothing can compare to ripping up the mountains under blue sky and sun, sitting on a terrace in the sun at 2000 meters altitude, eating pizza, drinking coffee. Its another world. Not to mention the xxxx thousand calories you burn each day, which you can replace with utter impunity each evening with yet more pizza, or tartiflette, or fondue. And buckets of red wine.
Yep, nothing comes near skiing.

Skiing is the ONLY thing that motivates fitness for me. And this year it is going to be epic!

Not lugging 20 kgs around the mountains is going to reduce injury!
When I get back to the UK its aerobics I need to work on...

Too much, in my opinion, congratulations, anyway.

The frame rate is a little low, but that's impressive work!

But Can It Run Crysis?
I'd rather be phishing!

I suppose it can, in the same way it can "run" Doom. Or anything else for that matter.
What's the effective resolution of an Etch-a-sketch anyway?

From here: 325 mesh[^], which is about 7 to 15 microns[^], which works out to about 2270 grains per inch if I've done my math right. Of course, that is under ideal, no-clumping, conditions. And a perfect stylus.

A 15 micron stylus? Sounds a tad optimistic.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

No kidding.
Otherwise...who needs 4K when you've got an Etch-a-sketch??

I thought this was way cool. All that work could get erased so easily though, yikes.

It has to, so you get the next frame.

Somebody needs to draw a frame, take a picture, draw another frame, take another picture, etc. And then string all the pictures together (30 frames a second) to create a smooth animation.
Project of a lifetime. So...how long should we bet until somebody does it?

As expected, the "upgrade" from Win7 to Win10 is crashing into sh*t.
The IT guy I talk to on a semi-regular basis claimed last week that the upgrade wouldn't affect our installed software, and said we would come in to work the next day, and we could get right to work. Wrong. Four laptops in my office were upgraded, and none of them still had the mission-critical software that WAS on them, and no indication of why.
I suspect that they just applied a standard OS image to the machine (as DoD sites are wont to do), which does not include the specialized software required by people in our office.
Now, we have four completely useless machines in our office, and they will remain useless because our department is somewhere near the bottom of the priority list to have issues resolved.
Even more fun - Wednesday, they're supposed to do the rest of our machines - mine included. I will at least have an excuse for not being able to work on Qlikview, so silver linings I suppose...
