My friend Anmarie asked if I could make a fake Geiger counter for her band's CD release show tonight (littlehexes.com/). Here's what I came up with.
The "wand" has a pressure sensor under the thumb. The guts of the thing is an ATmega chip on a dorkboard which reads the sensor input and pulses the meter, speaker, and light if the random number generator picks a number less than the wand's input value. Dead simple, but it works great.

Even though I've never bought anything in this shop I love the way it looks - all reflective and shiny...
Here's one from the archives: NIWX 8924, and EMD SD45 still equipped with its 20 cylinder 645 prime mover, leads a pair of empty centerbeam cars and WRIX 3000 near Medical Lake, WA. The 8924 was built for the Seaboard Coast Line as number 2024. It served on Montana Rail Link for several years before being sold to NIWX Corporation and subsequently leased to the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad. It was eventually sold to VLIX and restored to its original paint and number. It recently gained some fame while accompanying Clinchfield Railroad F3 No. 800 during CSX's 2017 Santa train under the guise of CRR No. 3632.

Reader Rampurple sent an email raving about the Kurt Geiger display window. They showcase their collection to full advantage. I agree with her. what do you think? Love it or hate it? And I'm curious, have you bought anything from them?
