Still at TechShop, opening to midnight, every day.

Still helping make the 8bitlit lamps.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
These are the lights and control boards that go inside the lamps. The four yellow squares inside the board are the LEDs that supply the actual light. The chip at the center is the microcontroller that makes it all work.



Working with a new micro-startup tomorrow. These guys make a time-lapse pan-and-tilt unit. You use it to make movies like this:


And now: Endless hours of lasering to make the all-wood version of the Lyssan game pieces.

I lurk around the lasers like a vulture, waiting for any moment when other people miss their reservations. A laser vulture. I've got something like 60 hours of lasering to do to make all these for the 7 super-premium kickstarter backers. The results are beautiful (this picture doesn't do them justice) but take oh so long for each piece.
