I remember a term from our time in the UK that was called ‘Bisman’s Holiday’.. It meant when someone used their vacation to do what they normally did for work. For example.. a guy hw drives busses for a living woudl take a bus vaction when he was off work..

I think I’m doign that now. I just looked up and realized it was 1:30 and I’d been programming for 6 hours.. not work.. or .. not exactly work. It uses software from work (Bluemix, MQTT)  I’m adding some features to the Floorish light sculpture.. but I’m not sure that sitting and programming all night was what I meant to do. .. but even so.. I made good progress.. and it was fun..

The only other thing I did of note today was to show my good buddy scott how to use the laser cutter at Generator. Scott has helped me build high voltage demo equipment for more than 20 years. He’s now rebuilding my singing tesla coil that I kept blowing up. Hopefully his monster skills will make it more robust than I was able to do.  Here are the end caps for the secondary and support standoffs for the driver transformers. I love this laser  !!

ok.. time to sleep Big day tomorrow..

I’m truly grateful for all i have in my life. .. and that includes many of you out there.

nite all, nite sam
