  1. "Incandescent light sucks! It's natural light or nothing."

    Buddy, have I got some bad news for you about the source of your natural light.

  2. A little video of Galen's finished "Slumlord" sign. I bent the neon for him, and some of his sign painter buddies helped with the paint design.

    Galen wears the "Slumlord" badge with pride- refusing to raise rent on his property in the rapidly gentrifying Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. The piece is inspired by another landlord with a coin operated gas meter on the stove (quarters for cooking time).

    We love the clickity clackety of the mechanical incandescent bulb flasher in there- Galen mounted it so the whole metal "can" acts as an "amplifier". Galen loves anything mechanical. It was way fun being his Teachers Assistant for the class.

    The ruby red glass in this came from Chihuly "Studio 1" in Tacoma (long since moved to Seattle)

  3. Not-so-fun fact about being #Neurodivergent... Having sensory issues with lighting, and having low-wattage #incandescent light bulbs be banned, while #BigOilAndGas make obscene profits and do nothing to plug up #MethaneLeaks! (In fact, they want to dig up more holes -- in the #DeepOcean!).

  4. I bought an analogue panel meter recently that reads up to 60V DC full scale deflection. These are super handy for monitoring the supply rails in my #strowger #telephoneExchanges

    What I love about this one is the tiny wee screw base lamps it uses for the scale illumination!

    So smol!
