Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm Digaron lens and about 13mm of vertical shift to maintain the geometry (but several architectural features - setbacks and tapers in the building design - still make it appear to converge toward the top).
Pittsburgh's 42 story "Cathedral of Learning" houses offices and classrooms for the University of Pittsburgh. Completed in 1937, it took 11 years to construct. It remains the tallest academic building in the US.
The lobby is also gorgeous, and worth a visit.

@mattblaze I learned something there once as a woman freshly married, a college grad, and an auditor, in Pittsburgh for only a year. It's what kicked off a passion for writing. I also met my first mentor. And yes, It's beautiful.

@mattblaze Is it just me or does that angle make it look like it is leaning slightly to the right (it's left)?

@mattblaze I remember waiting for ages for the elevators.

I really like the concept (and execution here) of a secular cathedral. It satisfies our urge to build great monuments without the requirement to accept any particular dogma.

@ChuckMcManis The angles are a monster. None of the lines are actually vertical.

it looks like something Shandor would design as a super-conductive antenna for pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence.

Ovvio, ma non mi è mai servito a molto, quindi, cambiato il sistema di pagamento dell'istanza ho preferito non averne più a che fare. 🤷

Building a Neatly Framed Word Clock
Reading analog clocks is a pretty straightforward skill to learn. However, if you’ve already learned to read and don’t want to pick up the extra skill, a word clock is a perfect solution for telling time. [povey_tech] found some nice examples in the wild but didn’t appreciate the price, so he set about building his own.
The build is based around an ESP32 microcontroller. While many projects in this vein would use the onboard wireless connectivity to query network time servers, in this case, the board relies on the user manually setting the time and a DS1307 real-time-clock module to keep a steady tick. Also onboard is a VEML7700 ambient light sensor, which the microcontroller uses to control the brightness of the WS2812 LEDs inside the board.
The words themselves are laser cut out of acrylic panels, with everything set inside a tidy oak picture frame. A layer of anti-reflective glass in front helps cut down on glare, while [povey_tech] was so kind as to implement two LEDs per letter to allow for lovely color gradients to be displayed. Configuring the clock is easy thanks to a webpage hosted on the ESP32 that allows for control of dimming modes, colors, and setting the time. Home Assistant integration is something planned for the future.
We’ve seen many great word clocks over the years. Perhaps the biggest leap forward in this world was the development of the addressable LED strip which made constructing these clocks much easier.
