I decided to make a silly birthday list. Just a bunch of lowcost items that are a little hard for me to reach sometimes, but that’s saving for a car for you.. most are to make art with, and some, just for fun
I need more fun! If you need to get my mail addy, just email me @ chris at evilstar dot net. Thank you!! But don’t ruin the surprise!
Ladyada:
A new TV-B-Gone. A dear friend gave me one, and I used it a lot, it’s fun! And sadly, I’m pretty sure it was lost in my recent move from Chicago to Florida.

Anything off this page: It just needs a common cathode. Common anodes are a PITA. That only applies to RGB LEDs.. I eat these things like candy!

Mouser.com Just search for attiny13, attiny2313, atmega168, attiny45, atmega8 and attiny85. As long as they are in DIP packaging, it’s all good
They’re between two and three bucks.
This would be nice… http://www.northerner.com/en/snus/Northerner_Flatpack_Rolls-468/Flatpack%20Roll%20-%20General%20White%20Portion-23848/ … yanno, filthy tobacco habit.
And finally, a tobacco pipe of your choosing. Whatever you think I’d like. It would be a very special memento from you. I prefer the shape pictured, so if you could.. It’s called a ‘billiard’ shape. I collect them, but make sure they’re clean and nice.. anything you’d order online would be good. I like iwanries.com.and enough material goods for the day! It is time to go do something!
