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)

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

Macro Butterfly Wings
...look like miniature versions of wings. Fractals everywhere! (By Linden Gledhill, via Designboom)

Rainbows, unicorns and pixie dust coming next.

Thursday Cool Links: Switch Sign, Blinky...

Wednesday naturally turns into Thursday, so the links seamlessly migrated from Wednesday to Thursday too... They are not allowed to Friday though, otherwise they will turn into pumpkins. Er, I mean Friday-not-so-cool links. Which will be just unacceptable! Hello World. A sign built from 5,000 rocker switches. An enormous grid made of 5,000 orange rocker […]
