Well Thank Kew Jack, it makes me want to dance. Those folks were amazing.
It is a dreary day here, oh I need coffee.

Good Morning Truman!!! I'm glad you liked the footage that I got of your dance :) I hope your Christmas Day was extra special.

You know I just don't know about these new light bulbs.
I got a slew of them for Xmess and had already heard people were disappointed in them. I can see why, they are nothing more than a miniature florescent tube twisted up to approximate the standard size of the traditional tungstun lightbulb. I have long held that florescent light is an embodiment of evil in the world. It makes people look jaundice, and it is actually blinkin' on and off at a hyperfast pace which cannot be good for the subconscious and leads people to conspiratorally theorize that the things are actually lighting a room in a parallel universe at the same time.
And you flip on the light switch and it is an ENTIRE SECOND before the thing comes on! That is long enough to make me wonder oh hell did I pay the electric bill. Plus, they don;t put out as much light. I had a burnt out bulb in my kitchen ceiling fixture and I replaced the one tungstun bulb with two of these new ones and it was not as bright as a single bulb. It gets brighter in a few minutes, but I mean c'mon, it is the 21st and we are taking a step backward. There has got to be a better solution than this.

They are working on LED lights which will be much more efficient and brighter.
The problem had been that the capacitors could do red and green easily but for some reason (I don't remmber) the white light was hard to do. Well, they have found a way to do it now that will be cost efficient. So in the next year or so it should be on the shelves. I think it may be in the scandanavian countries where the research was being done.
