That's awesome! Post some pics.

We on the other hand are proving why we're called "The Wet Coast". :-(

The clouds rolled in this morning and its now raining. Wah!

So... how did it go? We still have rain here. :-(
There was no chance of seeing the eclipse.

Aha.. Murphy's Law set in again. ;-|
But at least you got to see something, which is more than what we got.
I'm assuming that one of the voices in the video is you? (It's interesting to finally hear someone who you've only messaged). ;-)

You are the first one to have an influence on me...
(I'm that 17 year old geek who finds nothing beyond science that is interesting enough, and up till reading your "About" section, I was never influenced before...)
Just thought of letting you know......

Near by computer company, funny...
I live in Lebanon, a third world country that considers formatting your computer and installing sound and VGA drivers a big deal...
And thanks for the compliment... Also, you're welcome...

Everything is shipped in and priced as crazy...
For an example, a normal 250 Watt DC scooter motor that I need for a science project I'm currently working on was impossible to find. I went with an alternative of a 200 Watt motor, it was used and in a bit of a bad condition, yet I had to pay 40$ for it!

No, of course I do not consider what you said as offensive. As a matter or fact, my country contains the most ignorant bunch of people in the world.
But there are a few shops around like a motor rewind shop and so on, but they don't work professionally, a little kid who knows a couple of equations does everything around the shop by force, so if you ask me, I'd rather get my experience online...
Sincerely...
