Mostly neon. Sometimes old computers. Occasionally photography, fountain pens, and nixie tubes. Brooklyn but slowly migrating to Palm Springs/Joshua Tree.
Don’t make me choose 😣

Not neon - but my security camera captured an amazing shot of a lightening strike on 1 WTC last night.

It’s hard to imagine the scale of the arc - it has to be >2x the height of the building

Neon filled cobalt is probably one of absolute favorite combinations. It’s hard to capture the electric glow of the magenta color with a camera and the dark blue of the glass really contrasts the plasma hi-lighting it.

I know there is a very small circle of people who will appreciate this - but Freya from Brooklyn Glass makes an appearance Shop Cats of New York

I think one of my favorite Easter eggs is that when I wash my glasses, the Oliver Peoples logo appears in water beads on the lenses. (The mark is totally invisible otherwise)

Let's see:

Neon? ✅
Sparks? ✅

Yup. That's all this post needs.

Just because you can make a handheld SDR/LoRA/GNSS/Thermal Camera Linux handheld doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Just kidding. I love this thing. I upgraded it to a CM5 and it works surprisingly well.

I always loved the Grumpy’s sign in Minneapolis. That said, 99% of the time I was just going to Maxwell’s instead.

Pretty sure my wife won't be excited to see what I'm making. But this looks like a fun project so.....here we go.

Great neon and a weird movie. I ❤️ Brazil

Made a trip out to the New York Sign Museum - highly recommend. Not a ton of neon but good for history of signs in the city

USB powered neon? Sure. Why not? Just a small scrap tube - this is a proof of concept for a desk art sculpture I’m working on.

This is a tek22 12vdc to 5kv connected to a USBC to 12v power supply.

Which of these goes on my neon toolbox? Because they’re all awesome.

My god, what have I done?

Made a much smaller 6mm tube paper plane - and filled with Neon & Mercury - mostly because I love the color change with temperature

I found a new life goal - when I eventually buy a house in Palm Springs, I want neon house numbers like I saw today in Greenpoint 🤤

Hmm. I can’t leave all of this space on my try open for long. Time to get more inks 🤷‍♂️
