Cold open was Niki Indigo with no comment. Slips of paper were prepared ahead of class. The students were beckoned outside non-verbally. Niki with the new speakers really thumps Once outside I told them to write down the colors they see in the order they see the colors. Students listed from four to eight colors.  This activity segues into ROYGBIV and the issue of six colors versus seven and  of indigo. Whether this is the optimal direction to take this activity is debatable. There may be other less potentially problematic directions to go. Such as the wavelengths and frequencies of the colors. Short shrift can be made of indigo saying Newton preferred seven colors but not delving into the possible reasons.

Due to a video that changed from being able to be added to a playlist to one that can no longer be added to a playlist, the playlist remains in an older account.  Blackbriar's Floriography music video led the list. The title and some of the papers relate to floriography, but the lyrics are unclear even on the new speaker set. This video was dropped from the list. Yong Junhyung's Flower is bass heavy and could use less bass than the maximum setting used. That said, A102 was empty as was A103, opening up the opportunity to see what the new speakers could do at full throttle. A 1:25 pitch for a book on florigraphy is also not that useful to the list and was deleted post hoc as well. The playlist was started at 15:23 to run the two music videos ahead of 15:30. The list wrapped after 16:00 but left enough time to walk west. Eugenia uniflora was in bloom. Ocimum tenuiflorum, Gardenia taitensis, and Jasminum sambac were also in bloom and still had flowers on them. These had been fe...

The weather decided whether this lab would be inside or outside. The morning dawned sunny with blue skies. Outside it was. Class opened with a look at the vernal equinox sun shadow at 08:23. The noon lecture prevents a morning look at the shadow. McGievens was assigned board clapping duty Demonstrating the clapping technique Darla and Jaysleen  Leona and Jemira Alisha I noted that measuring wheel appeared to not always flip a digit on a click. And the third digit appeared to be getting stuck halfway between two digits. I didn't think much of the issue. The first stop at 246 meters was too close to get accurate times. The "flash-to-bang" time was too short. Heading west on a sunny day. Clear day conditions  Timing at the gym driveway  Then, out around 925, the clicker fell off. Restoring the clicker did not flip digits. I realized...
