they just added a bunch of their pen style (commonly green) lasers but this time they are violet! here is the link to that day's additions, easiest way to find them: DealExtreme New Products (frequently updated) i still cant figure out how to do fancy links... but that should do for now :P...

dx has been buggy for the last few days, but i found some link to get "into" dx and checked the recent updates and found this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25395 heres a pic if the link wont work: two cr2 batteries included, possibly rechargable ones. and it does look violet, the...

an older friend's dad recently died... he was a lifelong artist and in his time collected many things. i was helping him empty his house (mom moved into retirement home) and came across an item in his art room that i was about to toss but thought i'd keep because it seemed too cool i give you...

and just under 3/4 the price http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23993 i suppose this will be a cheaper host if you plan to make it uber powerful in the end. now they just need a 5mw version for 10 bucks and -that- will sell p.s. where are smileys =[

girl friends psycho mom... i'm sure you've heard the stories of some chic's mom who is crazy... but my girl friend's really is. she lives with her grandma now because of an incident where her mom was screaming in my face to never come over again, ect ect when i literally did nothing. haven't...

finally going to build a blu ray... i went to radio shack a few days ago and picked up a few trinkets... such as a black box and red switch of doom! 3 bucks for a nice red switch rated for wall outlet power (1 or 2 amps i think) and some pieces of breadboard (even though i probably wont use...

lasers and cancer... new tech? stumbled on this site http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2009/04/02/2533168.htm they make itty bitty gold spheres that somehow attach to cancer, then you shine a low power ir laser on it and it heats up and bakes the cancer... genious!

literally. :-[ and i have finals the next two days... on the bright side, i might get to moon a doctor.

school sucks. kinda. working 2 hours a day at a fast food place wasn't workin out for me financially so i decided to go back to school. since doing so i've had even less money to spend on toys and less time to lurk forums like this. I've also learned i have way too many hobbies. don't most...

so it all started at the first sign of snow, i went to some privately owned tire chain store place to get my old studded tires off (i swapped them with my street set myself, its 400x faster to do it by hand) so i drove there with my studded tire that still has 95% of the metal on it and 3 that...

i received an email saying "your account is going to be deleted unless...." and it was real! i've deleted so many friends from msn and myspace that have sent chain letters saying they have to do it or get deleted, ect.... but photobucket really sent one themself to my secondary email for an...

don't feel like starting a thread elsewhere, but does anyone think this can be modded with a higher powered diode? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1004 i see what looks like an aixiz lens or something similar in there... i might buy to test and see if i can break it on my shotty :P and...

I hope I'm not the first to do this... so I was getting bored as usual and started messing with my 5mw greenie... the cr2 "new wish" ones dx sells. I ended up pulling the front lens off the unit out of curiosity just to see what I could see. the thing is in two parts it seems, the back...

thinking about buying a green from dx(bought 1... a little bit late I suppose since they wont ship anything but 5mw now... is there anything at all you can do to mod the 5mw pen style they have? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.91 I think I've seen aixiz modules stuck in that pen...

so a friend of mine bought a cheap olympus at a radio shack while I was stopping by to see what resistors they had... oddly enough the 99$ thing works really well. macro mode lets you focus to 2-3" and picture clarity is very good. this could be useful for taking pics of laser components...

I've been wondering about some random mods to the rkcstr driver I or others could do.... I've realized the little pot on it is hard to adjust, and got the idea of replacing it with resistors... not just that, but maybe a few, and some wires and switches for good measure. my idea is you set it...

I think I took enough pics to make this slightly interesting... theres no real reason for me to do this it seems, but I've learned enough from it to make it worth it to me. (someone mentioned it being a gateway drug... they are right... haha) so I have my dx200 "dilda" which I'm sure you have...

this seems like the place to ask.. the stock dilda driver was held to the heat sink with an "epoxy" that looked like a dark jb weld to me, and could be removed with a knife. it seemed more like jb weld than normal epoxy because I dont think I could have cut through epoxy that easily (I've tried...

I've took a quick look around the forums and saw nothing about it yet so I thought I'd share... as of today (or whenever the 18th is in china) they are now not shipping lasers over 5mw to the u.s. at all. I think... I know the old warning was a "friendly reminder" but I think this new one is a...
