LEDs for sale in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Akihabara is an electronics heaven for hackers, builders, makers, you name it. They sell everything. It goes on for blocks. This picture (and the the big picture) is just one small part of one small seller. There are hundreds of sellers. Anything you can think of you can find. I can't wait to go back.

I am not sure what it means, but I think it is bad.
I saw this when I was in Manisa, Turkey, earlier this year. The sign was on some kind of electrical transformer or junction boxes.
I think these would be great on t-shirts....Yeah, it's for my band....who could argue?
See the big picture to see the "Olum Tehlikesi" warning.
This is a video of the projects on my workbench. This is a preview of what I'll be posting about in the coming weeks. Also, I will be keeping schematics, diagrams, PC boards, and source code on the upcoming TheVaporTrail website.
All but one of the projects use the PIC16F628A microcontroller. The other (the circular arrangement of LEDs in the lower right) I started twenty years ago and still haven't finished, and uses a 555 timer and TTL chips, including a 4-bit up/down counter.
The Invasion has Begun!
Found this little bit of urban 8-bit graphics the other day. See the big picture. Space Invaders have a habit of showing up in Paris. Like here.
My dad passed away two and a half years ago and its been that long since I posted anything.
I think it is time to start again.
On the road somewhere...
Detail of a lamp in one of the hotels we stayed at during our travels last week. (See the complete picture.)
I'm still reflecting on this one...
If you didn't have an image problem going into the bathroom at the Toys R' Us in Manhattan, you will when you come out. (See the big picture.)
Oops
Just back from vacation. Visited the Crayola Factory, where they take their crayons seriously. (See the complete picture).
Blink On, Blink Off
This is another in the series of Lights Out, No One's Home. I used a small set of five LEDs, which flashed in different patterns. If you follow the lines, you can see how they appear and disappear at different intervals. (See the big picture.) Others in the series are done with color-changing LEDs, with more LEDs that don't blink and just a single LED.
