We call him “Cableman” because he’s the guy that takes an empty pill bottle, a 9-volt battery and a white LED and makes a flashlight out of it.
I spent a lot of time driving around looking for “D” batteries last week. Come to find out, all I really had to do was finish off that bottle of sleeping pills!
I run a RadioShack and have a son in the Scouts, spending my summer vacation week at Scout Camp.
Geek? I can relate.
(I could also pump out a hundred of those little babies in a few minutes. Were I ever to be involved in 2 hurrycanes in as many weeks….)
Methinks Cableman should have been out hawking those little babies!
It is a wonderful little design. I think I shall shamelessly steal it. Nice job, Cableman!
Neat. Solonor genius.
Plus, a new, more self-sufficient age may be dawning. For each ‘I spent a lot of time driving around looking for “D” batteries’ you now have an alternative: brain power!
Well done. I forgive you for locking me out the blog.

Thanks Ric…
Doesn’t everyone have a box of resistors and LED’s just laying around???
🙂
Um, I don’t. Not since HeathKit went out of business, anyway. 😉
I don’t have too many LED’s, and just a few resisitors, but fortunately I have keys to the store. Plenty there! Batteries, too…
If I show this to my boy-scout, my meds will be dumped and become candy for the dog and we’ll have tons of mini flashlights around the house. Bring on the hotflashes!
