A PhD Student in colorado has an interesting page on her WebSite about how to put together an bodice with LED lights embedded into it. Interesting read, although the top does need some improvements with regards to mechanical strength I think. The video killed my Internet Explorer until I saved it and viewed it seperately.

I get a bit of Spam. Thankfully Outlook 2003 has fairly good spam filtering, so much so that I do not get much actual SPAM in my inbox. But if I look at the junk mail folder… Well… You can guess. One of the things in there is people trying to sell my cheap stocks in the USA. With this in mind someone decided to do an experiment – on paper – to buy 1000 shares in each stock that he was spammed. He put up a site describing the results. Out of about 20-30 stocks, only three went up. Basically he halved his money. This is a fairly good indication that it is probably not a good idea to buy shares that are suggested in SPAM.

Right now I need to get some more programming done. One of the devices is using a PIC18F6520. This is a device that is about 1/2 an inch on each side and is really thin. The code is going well, although I now need to work out how to decode RS-232 data containing GPS data. I doubt that this will be too hard, but it may have a challenge or two. We will need to see how that goes. And I have the TeamTrack program in VB.NET to work on too…
