Making a Strobe Light

Although I do loathe the concept of electrical circuits in general (basically because the math and algorithms involved are not fun, to me at least), I do find it pretty nifty that I can make some of these things listed below.

Strobe Light
FM Transmitter
Radio (op amp style)
8 Note Tune Player
Electronic Stethoscope
Telephone Recorder (records phone conversations!)
Lie Detector (haha)
Rain Detector (very useful for Houston and Florida. Oh sad Florida)

Well, I thought that was pretty neat. I can actually make all of those things. I would seriously think about making the phone recorder. That would be a great and fun thing to make.

At least it keeps things interesting. :)

Cutting with a Knife

I’m sure no one knows this, but whenever I cut anything, I have always cut towards me. I know this is the absolutely wrong way to cut things, but since I have always cut like this and have never erred before, I kept my same technique. Maybe I will change this soon. Granted, it was only a little cut on my 2nd finger on my left hand, but my dignity is definitely infected.

(get it? infected? just joking)
