Well, okay, I'm a liar. The new redesign didn't work out so well, so there will be more posts before I try again. It wasn't a total loss, though, because I've begun turning that super industrialized design into a shell for the new TRB-site.

I fixed the thingy for the supersecret geek project with carrie, and so now I need good LEDs. Not so much good, really, as "really insanely bright." And Bright I found (note the scientifically accurate capital B.)

Places like Chi-Wing, SuperBrightLEDs, and TheModHouse(I still say it looks purple, which is sweet, but pink is still uncommon) had the brightness.

Then it became a matter of the cheapness. Going in that vein, I found DirectLeds, the cheapest so far, HiTechLEDs, a sort of middle road with good selection, and though not the cheapest, still my favorite so far, LSDiodes.

They send out this bumper sticker with every order. Sweeeet. Plus they have really nice tutorials, which they get points for in terms of generally being nice to the community.

I think I'll probably buy a bunch of blue ones from DirectLEDs, some UV ones from HiTech, and some Green ones from LSDiodes. Then I can decide who to throw money at based on customer service.

This isn't super bright LED related, but cool nonetheless: super glowy clearness.

I was going to do a big geeking out article about AIM clients, but i got very pissed at Gaim and so now they get nothing.

I'd like to be furthering TAB, but it's proving difficult. I feel like a number of evil spirits are befouling my creative humours, and all the leeches and cranial drilling just aren't working.

So, I'll leave you with a particularly apt Red Meat, and take off.
