Hello everyone, today I'll be your guest Russian host. Here's your new product, look at it and leave me alone! I'm busy eating vodka and drinking borscht. In the dacha. After the banya. (Is that good enough for Russian stereotypes?) Right about now the most observant of you might notice that something is wrong with your regular weekly host, and particularly that this is NOT him! Get that, people?! He gets to go on a vacation! Shocking, I know. The rest of us are left working so hard, and the results of this honorable pursuit are right here, in front of your eyes, in quantities unimaginable. Enjoy:

Fair warning: probably not a good idea to stare directly into the light! |
 |
12V Warm White LED Strip (1m) $24.00 120 LEDs per meter that's ludicrous, shenanigans, positively... bright! This LED strip closely resembles the natural or soft fluorescent bulbs on the market. With most LEDs strips you'll get a fairly focused area of light dispersion, not the case with this strip as it emits an nice glow. |
 |
Wireless RGB LED Strip Controller $6.50 Unsure of how to interface RGB strips to your own microcontroller? Why not go with this ready-to-go remote controlled LED controller! Comes with a small remote that allows you to use wireless infrared signals to change the RGB strip color and lighting effects. |

After you had a good infusion of shiny, wordy and simply smart to your brain, go buy it! ALL OF IT! Note: this clever marketing proposition was inspired by me eating lots of potatoes, and I recommend you do the same. Well, in your case, potato chips, cuz, you know, they are easier to swallow whole…
