AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a past animation contest that engaged community members in creative expression.

I don't know if you remember way back when there was an application brought on line here that member's used to make animations and were then entered into a contest.

That was fun and quite a few people showed their imagination and good humour in the process. It seemed to be a good meeting point. It also occurred during this time of year.

Any plans to resurrect that funny little activity?

Reeeeaaaally! Wooooaaaahhhh :!) My imagination just started going wild :biggrin:
 
We had a website that allowed us to make cartoons, but there was no contest. It was in my New Year's Eve thread a few years ago. Unfortunately the company cleared their database and we lost the cartoons.

The place still let's you make cartoons if you want me to put a thread up on it. They were a lot of fun.

I think Borek also has a way to do animations.

I did one with FZ as a hillbilly and me as Santa Claus... FZ was taken back since he was so British... hee hee.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
