Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking

I got the results of my medical screenings. The lab work says that my blood looks fine --- red, kind of liquidy, that sort of thing --- although I continue to have a vitamin D deficiency, possibly because I live in Michigan. They recommend I double the amount I've been taking in. It won't be much and this is still over-the-counter stuff. And it doesn't get me near what a real native-born Michigander would need to take to make up for how there's no direct sunlight between September and May of any year.

The other good news is the X-ray of my foot. There's no signs of particular injury to the bone or ankle, which implies that my stiffness is something in a tendon or muscle that should be cured by stretching and, you know, normal care. Possibly heat or cold too. Better, though, is how there's no evidence of arthritis in the joint. That's a happy development.

And in the mail yesterday I got the referral for a colonoscopy, which it turns out they've in the past few months changed the recommended age range for. I need to find a day for that, sometime soon.

Today in Pinball At The Zoo pictures we get to see bunny_hugger enjoying a situation. Everyone enjoys situations at least until they happen to you.

Kings Of Steel, a late solid-state game from the last years of every pinball game being about cards. The main clash being mirrored by the characters on the cards clashing is a great bit of design.

Oh now this is just insulting is what this is.

Trivia: Besides the rotoscope Max Fleischer also invented the rotograph, which projected a frame of a live-action film stock onto the underside of a pane of glass. With an animation cel put on top, the combination could be photographed to have cartoons in a moving, real setting.

Currently Reading: Finding Fibonacci: The Quest to Rediscover the Forgotten Mathematical Genius Who Changed The World, Keith Devlin. Devlin's working hard to explain that Fibonacci was really all that important even though he didn't write the first Western European text explaining Arabic numerals, and nobody writing mathematics instruction mentioned him for hundreds of years, and there's only fourteen known manuscripts of his big work.
