I gave up on lasers a while ago (still love em, but not enough time these days, and it was an expensive hobby) and instead I focused on my career of being a self-employed indie game developer.
And here we are: Save 10% on Solar 2 on Steam A game I developed myself has now been released on...
hai guyz
This whole WikiLeaks business is pretty crazy isn't it. I thought it was hilarious how the US went so nuts, calling them terrorists left right and center. So, being the game developer I am, I made a quick game about it:
Uncle Sam vs WikiLeaks
Vote 5, and if you think it's a good...
Yup, I sure did. Now that I've finished Uni I've knuckled down as a full time game developer, here's another one:

Or just head over the 'Indie Games' on the Xbox LIVE Game Marketplace and look under 'New Arrivals' :) And if you're feeling generous, Rate it 5...
I've got a Herc 400 now, so my old RPL-300 is tentatively up for sale.
I've had this laser for over a year now and I bought it second hand then. It still works like a champ, it's stable with a tight beam and is the best laser I've ever owned. If it was ever going to break it would of done so...
Well my bloody Herc 400 is acting up again. It seems the beam is hitting the aperture, causing a huge amount of beam artifacts and lowering the power alot.
Attached is a picture from my phone showing what it looks like. I had a look at the dot under glasses and it looks almost like it's mode...
Hai,
This is the first tech demo video of my current Xbox game that I'm developing at the moment. Check it out! YouTube - Mind over Metal - Tech Demo 1
I've just sent in a Herc 250 to be tuned up at LaserGlow. Since I'm upgrading to a Herc 400 anyway, I'm going to be selling the Herc 250. It's currently at LaserGlow and has had a full service.
It's got a 267mW average and 327mW peak.
Shipping is already paid for, it'll go straight from...
I've been around for a long time so I'm fully aware of LaserGlows excellent reputation. I'm not saying they're a bad company, I'm saying I've had a bad experience with them.
So it's regarding this laser: http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/hercules-500mw-green-laser-sale-high-power-45152.html...

Interesting use of lasers, using them to flash blind the crew members of a whaling ship. International waters too, so it isn't illegal. I'm just hoping the laser is defocused enough not to cause...
Ages ago Wicked used to sell just straight Sonar cases. I bought about 10 or so of these cases and collaborated with Dark Horse who made some amazing custom heatsinks with not just a place for the module, but space for a driver and a switch for the side button setup. Look around here for some...
I was just browsing a few laser sites randomly, as you do, when I noticed that the LaserGlow Hercules was about half the price as I thought. Not surprising since I haven't been past that site in probably a year.
At the moment the most powerful greenie I have is an RPL-300 I've had for over a...
A lot of people on the forums stress test diodes for use in pointers and how high they can be pushed, but if you're like me then you're more interested to see how the diodes cope with modulation and extended on time.
I don't have the equipment to do any tests personally, but IgorT (who is...
I was just reading on Wikipedia, as you do, and I read something about credit cards showing up extra stuff under UV light. So I whipped out a blu-ray, defocused it and shined it over my Visa, and sure enough there were lots of symbols and cool things I couldn't see otherwise.
Try it! :)
So for those of you on Xbox LIVE you may of got the latest dashboard update that includes a new rating system that allows you to rate everything. And that includes my game :)
Of the 400+ Indie Games available, my game is currently ranking at 8th :D That's pretty awesome, but everything helps...
Hey guys, I needed to make a trailer of my Xbox game for a competition, but I thought I'd share it around too so people who otherwise couldn't could see what the game's like.

Hey guys,
Normally I don't post any pictures of my lasing due to my camera being too crap to take good beamshots...
But this time, I was out lasing around in some fog when I bumped into a friend taking some fog pictures with his awesome camera. So, obviously, we decided to take some really...
Hey guys, I've just released a new Flash game! It isn't fully released onto the interwebs yet, as I'm waiting for a sponsor, but it is on Newgrounds.
Check it out: Drain
And make sure to Vote 5 for the game, even if you don't play it :) Newgrounds people don't tend to like games without...
