Spring this year seems to be short on sunshine. To compensate for that, today's post is full of shiny things. And butterflies. Butterflies are always a good addition.

Tilt Beam Flashlight Cute build, a diffuser of some sort would be a nice addition though, unless used for interrogation purposes. (by [Zach DeBord], via Hackaday) |

Soft Squeezable Flashlight ... for all the nightwalkers. Never step on a cat and blind the sleeping. (Molli, by Jung Soo Park) |

BEP Application: Turbot
The Turbot is a member of the Scophthalmidae family of flatfish and is almost completely circular. Turbot is often found partially buried in the seabed in sand, gravel, rocks and sediment. Its fat content varies, but it usually contains roughly 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids per 100g fillet. Barring advances in genetic engineering, we will not be building that kind of Turbot. However, this kind of Turbot can be built with a soldering iron.
