When I came across Teravolt's Laser Microscope, I decided that this was something I had to try. For his setup, he used a 250mW laser. While I don't have anything near that dangerous cool, I do have a bunch of 5mW green lasers laying around. While the 5mW is incredibly bright in a dark room, when the beam is spread for 1mm to a 1 meter circle, the average brightness decreases by 1 million! I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be strong enough, but there's only one way to find out.

Posting Code in WordPress (and comments!)
י״ג תשרי תשס״ז - Thursday, October 5th, 2006As you may have noticed, I often post code (including (X)HTML) in these posts. A classic problem is how to display a line like <html_tag> without having the web browser treat it as a tag and trying to process it. [UPDATE: Fix for comments!]

Memorial Day
כ״ב אייר תשס״ה - Tuesday, May 31st, 2005I saw an excellent post at The Smallest Minority relating to Memorial Day, and what vets have done for us, and what our troops continue to go through each and every day (both in the US, and our troops here in Israel). For those of us who do not have to serve, a reminder of what we've been spared; for those who do, another reason to say thanks.
