The modern 4k iSight – featuring the brain of an Opal Tadpole

Read the whole thread. My notes:

• The Opal team have engineered for scale, repairability and upgradability for their own purposes
• This makes my heart fill with joy when I see that good engineering makes life for the company and their customers easier.
• With modern chips, it would have been very easy for Opal to have put a check to make sure that only their camera modules would pass a check to continue working. I am so happy they didn’t.

hoy es el día internacional de las ballenas y Froggelio recuerda cuando se cruzo con una.

Today is international day of whales.

Tadpole news: some of them already metamorphosed into tiny frogs, and because I failed to collect insects that are suitable diet for 5mm frogs (they did not want to eat ants which I can understand), I released the first batch in a nearby pond. They seemed to be content with my decision:)

#tadpole news: a couple of them died, one got almost completely eaten by its siblings by the time I found it. The rest is healthy, agile and eating a lot. They seem to like cucumbers and spinach, lettuce not so much. Also fed them egg yolk, not sure if it was eaten or dissolved into mud…

And because some already have four legs, added a rock for dry land, and saw two sitting on it. I guess I will have to start hunting for small insects…

It’s OK everyone, I’ve found all the tadpoles.

Passed by an almost dried up puddle full of tadpoles on today’s bike ride, and I could not resist rescuing a bunch of them in a small bottle. They survived the trip and are happily feeding on cooked cucumber in a small aquarium that has been vacant in the last 15 years (last inhabitants were tree frog tadpoles).

Rife with life
The pond has tadpoles and this one seems to have sprouted its tiny legs...

Kleine #Kaulquappe, vermutlich einer #Erdkröte (zumindest lief hier im März eine Erdkröte rum).
