    Of course. :thinking: Two years ago it seemed your mantra was "OEM glasses or die". Now, I think we can agree that there is a place for cheap glasses, and cheap safety glasses are surely better than nothing. :whistle: But, a false sense of security can be very dangerous. IMO those cheapos are...

    Yes we are big on safety here due to the fact that we all* know the true value of one's eyesight is exponentially greater than a few pairs of safety glasses (different glasses for different wavelength [IE: blue safety glasses will not protect you from a blue laser]) I highly recommend Eagle Pair...

    New Products on the Survival Laser Store

    Unless your potential rescuers are using FLIR or a camera to find you. Although, visible wavelengths make a better survival tool anyway. Nice switch. +rep Also, I really like the black anodizing.

    1W 445nm ~$150 1.7W 445nm ~$250 2.1W 445nm +$400 link - (sold) With a 2W 445nm laser, you are either looking at a very short duty cycle (with normal laser size) or a slightly longer duty cycle when built into a host with a very massive heatsink. These diodes are "over-driven" to get 2W...

    E-cig explodes!

    Cigarettes are estimated to kill 6 million (a year) of 1.3 billion smokers (worldwide) = (0.4%) One eCig has maimed (not killed) one man in Florida of an estimated total of 2.5 million eCig smokers (worldwide). If this guy actually died = (0.0000004%) Who is to say exactly how many lives were...

    Starting fresh

    Forgive the ignorance, but I have no idea what transpired to get you banned. But, welcome back anyway. It sounds like you have changed,... for the better. Good luck in the Air Force. Will you be using ArcGIS?

    Um,... from HK post (sort facility) to USPS (sort facility) took ~26 hours, not from "order". That would be like "wicked" fast. :na: I still highly doubt that this was the typical "free (read: slowboat 2-3 weeks)" shipping most of us are used to from China. However, I can see that EMS...

    Your package passed across the international date line. When it was 8:31AM, Feb 18th in HK, it was 7:31PM Feb 17th in NYC. By my calculations your package took 25 hours and 53 minutes to go from the scan in HK to the scan in NY.* Likely by plane (not rowboat). How much did you pay for that...

    E-cig explodes!

    I quit smoking cigarettes last August, cold turkey. I had been a pack a day smoker for 20 years, and the eCigs helped me with the nicotine cravings and desire for the physical action of smoking. I swear that I couldn't have quit without the eCigs. Also my g/f (smoker for 15 years) also quit too...

    Obama Signs Bill

    Thanks so much for this info and the Steve. I'm glad it is a Federal Offense to hit an aircraft with a laser. There are too many kids out there messing around. Hopefully their parents will see this. :D Perfect excuse to keep a 1.8W in my camping kit. :angel:

    REKE-500RGB @ LasersMan 209$* Shipped

    Well. I really thought about it, but it is still over $100 for shipping. Maybe they will ship 2 of them to me and I how for one shipping price. I have to just ask (and find someone that wants one from them). Reke offers a year warranty if it breaks when you buy it from them directly. Not sure...

    Yes. When I get some time, I'll be adding new members. It's likely that I will have some time to kill at the airport in the morning. I'm flying back to LA tomorrow. It' slightly more cumbersome editing the map using my Xoom tablet, but I'll get 'er done. :D

    REKE-500RGB @ LasersMan 209$* Shipped

    Yes. $117 for shipping implies "not via rowboat". I see. Thanks.! I just got a price list from Lucy at REKE. Yep. $228 for the 500, and they also just came out with a 1WRGB with 20k galvos for $520. Seems a bit steep when I could easily make the one I have over 2W for much less of an...
