I've been thinking about something light-related, like lights that light the way when you go to the bathroom at night
Hello there
:) way back when I used strain gauges place underneath are carpet runner over ceramic tile staggered the LED lights accordingly to illuminate one step in front of you to the next tile.
It was a long hallway to the bathroom it worked as expected but really really spooky just like in the movies.:)

Will you marry me :p
You can let me down easy saying something like this: "I believe marriage is a fine institution but I am not ready to be institutionalized". But thank you!

Use the report button guys we mods never enjoy banning anyone, except maybe spammers. I view nailing them as a race between myself and other mods.

Thank you.You have tendered a brave, sincere and thoughtful apology in doing so you have allowed this incident to pass from my thoughts.
I offer my gratitude for opening a door for me.A door I can now walk through.

To Mr. @Yaakov I offer to you my sincere apology and wish your forgiveness for calling you arrogant. My words were
Intentional and fraught with language that stung. Because you have a warm
and authentic communication style filled with thoughtfulness and grace something to which I do not possess .
I was jealous of you. I am filled with guilt and shame. Please forgive me!

As far as I am concerned it is as if it never happened. There is no need to consider it any further.

At school age I went to the "Young technicians club" for radio-telemetry and got my job was exposed at moscow VDNH exhibition what was very high success for boy living in occupied territories, may read "fourth category human". Then I studied for radio-physics and diplom-work was Pirani vacuummeter ultrafast measurements and it automation via Hewlett-Packard interface (1981.!!!). So, later I designed and made a sysetm what read an electron microscopy data by computer in less than microsecond, ah ya, computer wasnt invented yet thus there was need to make it by self.

So, 1983 I made first color graphic display inside the iron curtain for to visualize that data by means of D-3-28 machine. Later I changed job to less inventive but 10x better paid in First Republican Atmosphere Measurements laboratory being the leading engineer for chemical methods. No apparatus, thus I produced it by own hands and our lab swirled up to 2000 samples per day.

Then came hated occupant regime crush and russian army walkout, we regained once stolen independence, but lab was gamed-off by minister in ill card game and then sold to get the land under it. So, then I repaired fridges, drove a car and sold a fishes, sold perfumery, did everything to not loss a family in obstacles when price raise-ups was in peak up to 300% daily.

Then one pen-she-friend from Finnland wrote - we have a bad times, had 5% inflation and many Finns are making suicide because that. I answered, yes, last month w had also 1800% inflation but still alive however bit scary. So, then I saw an inquiry that State Environmental Inspectorate seeks for highest position air quality specialist in State, and surprising, I was most best. I worked there 11 years until went to work to the school, what gave me 3-fold bigger salary.

Surplus I begun to work with University Atomic physics institute for pure electronics, mainly in RF plasma and HV PS fields. When 2010 Global economy blast happened, my school salary was diminished 10x and University salary 8x, but bank credit was raised up for 30%. So, I must fly away to not loss all my family lands and houses.

So, I used an occasion and flied to Israel with idea that Haifa Technion needs good specialists. When after 1001 interview they again said no I asked why - they answered - because You have 50 and we count if scientist have over 30 he is unperspective. I asked then what You suggest I should do, they said - You may carry a brick-stones in building projects. So I some 3 years worked as prost welder, yet receiving in month about that what at home in two years. Just by occasion I observed a new unknown physical effect, when cut the steel with abrasive it hardly magnetizes.

But someone in Japan was few month faster than me, so that became lost chance. Then my boss in University lab won the Project where they was able to give the good salary for "pumped back brains to motherland". But all the good times some-when ends, I am in homeland but only school was saving me, so I worked in prison school, in jew school, in normal school and fourth, after schoolwork at evening in Atomic physics institute.

So, Now I won the Project again, having three years to graduate my PhD dissertation, first I tried while young then tried about 200, and now last trial, or now or never so I shall die the first in family without of doctor degree in many many generations. My job is focused to ICP supplies, over 100 kW or 30-100 kV SMPS power supplies, ion sources, vacuum sputtering, electron microscopes, laser PS, ion implantation etc etc. After 2.5 years I shall become retired. (May be then the life will begin at last??).

Today is my 50 year working-life anniversary, I started to work in 1971 going one hour before the elementary school classes to the local telegraph archive. My task was put the fire in the 30 wood stoves let it comes stable up, later stoves was shut off by arhivers. I had age of 12 then. When hit a 13, I went all the summer vacations to the conveyor belt of Riga radiofactory of Popov. Workers hated me, because my fingers was threefold faster than their`s and I never produced any brake so I got good salary but they received growing normative of "norm". Sorry, I didn't knew I harm them.

My Hirsch index for sci articles today is bit over 2, but rapidly growing. In the lab we are some three what are able do realize projects in electronics, my main task is ideology, element basis, purchases, pcb planing, whilst other mate is extra-good programmer for all our microprocessors and another is mostly doing the ICP PS things. My task is think about perspective designs. We work fluently with SMD and pcb we process our-self with accuracy of about 10 microns. But not metallized vias, we use a piston vias.

I am a designer. I have my own masks company. We make traditional Japanese kabuki masks. We make many kinds of traditional masks like kitsune, bone, demon, and fireman <Mod Deleted Link.E> masks. Kabuki is a traditional style of Japanese theatre. It is a theatrical style with a very rich history. Originating from the 1600s it’s incorporated the social topics of that time and even after many renditions, sanctions from leaders, and changes it is still as popular as ever.
