As I was finishing up my previous post, I received an e-mail from Blair Alper of Uddle Systems. He sent me a picture of himself wearing this ridiculous looking get-up that he was using to see better during an electronics project. (I so want this thing!)
His e-mail said “When you don’t see well, sometimes you have to resort to extreme measures to be able to get the job done”.
The subject of his e-mail was “I have Byronicus of Borg beat!” This is because he took THIS picture of me a couple of years ago at a Ham Radio Convention!
“I am Byronicus of Borg. Resistance is futile, your life as it has been is over. From this time forward you will service… US!”
Blair’s light reminds me of those decongestant ads in the ’70s (which you’ve probably never seen) with the sink drain superimposed on the person’s forehead.
