I love these Block Bills – banknotes generated from the Bitcoin Blockchain. Matthias Dörfelt, using a symphony of Python, Paper JS, and Lua created these beautiful bills for Bitcoin based on the data in the blockchain header.

Go vote and get a FREE Globe Press poster at Decker Library! On Election Day, The Globe Press will be giving away posters to MICA community members who go out and vote on Election Day or have voted early. People can claim a poster here at the library, between 12-5, or until they run out. You can also get one from the Globe shop, at 1515 Mount Royal Avenue.
As part of MICA’s ongoing efforts to encourage broad participation in the democratic process, Allison Fisher and the student interns @ MICA’s Globe Press have produced an original series of posters to Get Out the Vote. These posters will be mostly fluorescent and will be showing up around campus all this week.
We voted, did you?! Go vote if you haven’t already and come get an awesome Globe poster!

What is a Supermoon Lunar Eclipse?
We’ve told you that on Sept. 27 a supermoon lunar eclipse will occur in the U.S. And much of the world, but what does that mean?
One important note, is that this event can be referred to in many different ways:
Supermoon Lunar Eclipse
Super Blood Moon
Harvest Moon Eclipse
Supermoon Eclipse
All slightly different names, but apply to the same spectacular event that will occur this weekend.
Since it’s rare that both a supermoon and an lunar eclipse occur at the same time, let’s break it down.
1) Supermoon
A supermoon is a full or new moon that falls closest to the fall equinox, and is at its closest approach to the Earth. This results in the moon appearing up to 14% larger in diameter.
2) Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow. This can give the moon a red tint.
3) A Supermoon Lunar Eclipse!
The combination of these two events does not happen very often. In fact, since 1900 a supermoon lunar eclipse has only happened 5 times! The last time this occurred was 1982, and if you miss the event this year, your next opportunity won’t come until 2033.
This year, the event will be visible from the Americas, Europe and Africa on the night of Sept. 27. Here’s a full schedule of the supermoon eclipse:
If it’s cloudy in your area on Sept. 27, don’t worry! NASA Television will be providing a live stream of the event, so you can tune in and enjoy the show.
For more information and resources on the supermoon lunar eclipse, visit our page on NASA.gov.

Gonna try to catch a glimpse! Thanks, NASA, for the explanation!

Recently added to our Study Collections is the S. C. Malone Penmanship Collection, dating from 1890-1918. The detail on these pieces is so incredible it’s hard to believe these were all penned by hand!!
The collection includes 73 examples of penmanship created by Samuel Curtis Malone: alphabets, projects for specific clients, decorative borders and unspecified blanks, and promotional pieces for S.C. Malone’s business in Baltimore, Maryland, located on 5 North Charles Street.
Malone was nationally known as a penman and engrosser, maintaining a studio in Baltimore, MD as early as 1888, doing bookplates, genealogies, coats of arms, crests, diplomas, and certificates. His clients included the City of Baltimore, the University of Maryland, and the B&O Railroad. He did commissions and taught penmanship classes at his office on Charles Street. S.C. Malone was also a handwriting expert, and often called for court testimony.
And be sure to check out the work of a modern master penman over at Colossal!
To see anything in our special collections, please ask a reference librarian for assistance.
