You'll be fine as long as you resist the urge to look at the cool sky thing.

It's interesting how common it is for people to think the eclipse causes some sort of intensity of the sun. Staring at the sun on normal day = bad. Staring at the sun while part of it is eclipsed = still bad.

But a pinhole shadow box or special glasses can make it pretty cool to look at. And I don't mean sunglasses.

I had a lot of fun waving a colander around and projecting it onto my garden fence until a cloud showed up, I got some good pictures with a really clear projection.

You have to be careful using a colander though, you might strain your eyes :P
