LED-MUSEUM: Who's behind the die cup...
|
Welcome, fellow insulatorheads! Thanks for stopping by my e-bay "About Me" page. Hi Mom, thanks for the insulators. :) Oh oh, here's that "my hobbies are..." thing. That said, my hobbies are few but diverse. One of them is collecting glass and porcelain telegraph, telephone and electric power insulators. You know, insulators, those glass things on telephone poles you probably shot out as a kid? Yeah, those things. I run a website called "Insulators: The Hidden Obsession" which details my growing collection of insulators. I also run The LED Museum, a website all about LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes. On that website, I torture-test LED flashlights (like Consumer Reports, but with no budget) and have rated flashlight reviews online. You will also find a wealth of information about LEDs, including spectroscopy, beam cross-sectional analyses, product photographs, specs, and images of their spatial radiation fields and a small bit on diode & DPSS lasers. A virtual museum of LED technology round out the site. (If anyone has a Fairchild FLV-104 red LED from around 1980, I need to know about it, thanks!) I get around in a three-wheel scooter type wheelchair. If you visit my 'Hell On Wheels' site, you will see this is no ordinary scooter. Not by a long shot. In November 2000, I got a brand new candy apple red Rascal scooter, and you can bet it will be "tricked out" before too long. And in early-June 2006, I got a Celebrity X3 scooter. 
Things I purchase on eBay range from electronic components & test instruments to Mariners baseball memorabilia, Digimon stuff, old Christmas lights, old boomboxes, Raven CDs and bottles to big plastic storage buckets, bud vases, baseball bats, and of course, insulators. :) I bid on insulators once in awhile, but unfortunately usually end up getting sniped out of the silly things. On occasion though, I score something really nice, like an opalescent Hemingray CD128 E_14B or a very unusual Oakman CD259 "Roman Helmet". Well, that should about wrap things up for today. Thanks for dropping by. Last updated: 11-11-08; removed a photograph by stepmother's request.
