Some 46yo idiot(not me) tried to smuggle 360 laser pointers into Sydney, from Shanghai, but got busted by Customs and now faces up to a $110, 000 fine and/or jail time.  I don't know any more than this as I just heard it on the Radio on the way home.

I recently bought a heavy duty PSU for some heavy load tests.  It says it can deliver a constant 40 Amps @ ~16V DC, so I thought we'll see and decided to put it to the test, so far it has passed without missing a beat !!  I've seen 43 Amps @ 15V with the load in the pics, the load being fencing...

I had to do it.  I bought the 55W 4300K HID(High Intensity Discharge) kit from HIDworld and I have to say their service is very good, and fast.  And fitted it to an existing light I had which just had a H4 Halogen globe in it.  I also managed to come up with an easy way to focus the beam...

I know a few of you are into clocks so when I saw this one I thought i'd post it. Looks pretty cool, price is not good but not TOO bad I guess. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13774

I thought this looked pretty cool. Obviously Lasers are very well known about now for Google to do this.

I'm seriously thinking about selling my Hercules.  Mainly because I just don't use it much anymore and have started to get into flashlights.  It seems a crying shame to see it sitting there and not getting any use.  So I just thought I'd put the feelers out and see if there was any interest in it.

I just received it a couple of days ago, and I've gotta tell you this thing is AWESOME !!  I can't believe how bright this thing is for a torch.  I can completely light up a 4m tall concrete wall from 200m away better than the street lights that are only 5m away from it.  See pics of it below, I...

Why did the chicken cross the road? DR. PHIL :     The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that  he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road  before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how...

This capacitor almost blew the metal cover off the end of the pump, and it's held on by 3 x 3mm machine screws.  It did baloon it a little also !!!!  I have never seen a capacitor destroyed to this extent, it must have been struck by lightning, surely !!  Just thought i'd share some destruction...

I've pulled a prank on a mate, he always rides the bike in the pic to another mates house every Friday Arvo for a piss up with us.  At my mates house, where we drink, he has his own keg of "Tooheys Dry", a 200% better drop than the same in bottles.  Anyway we always end up legless, even though...

I know there are not alot of Aussies here and I know this is not about Lasers but I do think it is important and worthy of being posted.  Please copy and e-mail the following message to everyone you can think of ASAP, I did and still am. Subject: Petrol Price Protest - Friday February 22nd...

Hey, I have a bit of a problem with a particular SPAMMER. They got my e-mail address of my Website so I foolishly( I know better now) sent them a polite e-mail asking them to remove me from their mailing list. Since then I have been getting SPAM from them anything up to an e-mail every 10mins...

I'm fascinated with space travel and if we are to ever travel between Stars we need to go as close to the speed of light as possible(actually we really need to exceed it many times over, but that's a different kettle of fish).  Also the other problem we have to deal with is Zero G.  So I got to...

I was hoping someone could explain to me what exactly "burn in" is, refering to diodes of course.  What does it do, why should it be done, how should it be done and does it REALLY do anything.  Also does it go for LED's in torches ?  I've read a few things about it but they were pretty vague and...

Unfortunately it is just a borrowed unit :'( :'(

Merry Xmas all !! I hope Santa has got goggles  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Class IV Xmas tree

For the last 3-4 months for no reason, that I can tell anyway, IE7 just stops responding and I have to close it, it also wants me to send an error report but someone once told me never to send one, don't know why. Also it seems to happen more when i'm viewing LPF, maybe this is just a...

I bought this robotic vacuum cleaner about a month ago, cost $149.00.  It has been the best $149.00 I have ever spent, bar none !!!  The brilliant thing about it is that the Wife dosn't know I have it.  So when she goes to work I get it out, place it in the middle of the floor, push ONE button...
