Buzz on Gemini

Astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin snaps a self-portrait while spacewalking during NASA’s Gemini 12 mission in November 1966. Part of a camera (foreground) and the antenna of an unmanned Agena target vehicle—used during the Gemini program for rendezvous and docking practice—are visible in the left corner of the frame.

The newly released picture is among thousands of high-resolution digital scans that are being created as part of the Project Gemini Online Digital Archive.

About

Theme

This is the Effector Theme (v1.2.3) by Carlo Franco. For more information about this theme, visit: http://goo.gl/zjFTX You can also follow: @effectortheme on Twitter for updates!

Effector has some features that differ from the theme I used to use. I'll point out some of the differences in the paragraphs that follow.

Images

My primary reason for switching was to take advantage of the 700 pixel layout size. The vast majority of my posts are images and they look much better at this larger size. The bad news, however, is that smaller images are enlarged to 700 pixels and don't looks so good. Fortunately, you can click on the pop-up full-size icon in the upper right corner of the image and see it in the smaller size. Effector supports slider photosets, so look for the navigation bars on either side of photos since I occasionally post multiple photos with a single post

Switching to the Full Tumblr

If you are viewing a single article from my tumblr, you CAN switch to viewing the entire stream of my tumblr articles. All you have to do is click on the title "Crudmudgeonz Tumblr" at the top of the page

Tumview

The vast majority of my posts are photos. A quick way to see all of my photo posts is Tumview. Using Tumview, you can see a grid of photos on the left side of your browser. Clicking on a photo will bring up the corresponding post on the right side of your browser.

You can also follow me on Twitter @crudmudgeon but I don't Tweet often or consistantly. I am on Facebook but my posts are mostly posts mirrored from my Tumblr.

Disqus Comments

I have not added comments to the new theme. I have had some experience with Disqus and I find that the Tumblr question feature largely supplants the need for comments.
