Now I know why my pen won't write smoothly.  Just look at it.  That ink is not evenly distributed on the ball point.  Pitiful.

Today I tried an idea that I'd read about a few times but never took seriously before.  If you have a DSLR camera, take the lens off, turn it around and hold it in place.  Instant macro lens.  Now, because the lens is detached, you have no auto focus and no ability to control the aperture.  So that's a problem.  And the depth of field is at best about a millimeter, so focusing is tougher than nailing a politician down on policy details.  But if you can get past all that, it's pretty damn impressive.

I was going to make this another mystery picture and have people guess but when I posted the same photo on Facebook, it took about five minutes for someone to figure it out.  And once again, I had a hard time picking a photo.  It was neck and neck between this one and our visiting pig.
