An "Arduino Compatible and Open Source" flashilght: HexBright
I had to see what was the point in making it programable and Arduino compatible - it's so you can customize the way you control its brightness. I bet you could program it to act like a strobe light.
It is a rather nice LED flashlight--it can go up to 500 lumens and is rechargeable. But it's $119.
Um, can anyone get to BoingBoing?
It's not timing out--Chrome immediately tells me it's not available.
Thanks, ita--I had forgotten about that site.
I would like to find a good budget app for either my iphone or my kindle. Anyone have any suggestions for good free or cheap apps?
We use mint.com for tracking finances, and they have a free apps as well: [link]
Mint.com's free app has been very kind to me. Put in a little work so it knows which credit card charge belongs in which category, and it's even kinder.
What does the paid version do extra, flea?
I don't think there is a paid version! Just, we use the web site, but there are also apps, and they, like the web site, are free.
Thanks. I'll try that one.
If you like envelope style budgeting rather than automatic transaction tracking style budgeting, I highly recommend Goodbudget. It's a very different style of budgeting system but I love it immensely. It helped my marriage a lot too as there are no more fights about who is spending more of our money frivolously. I love love it. I only use it for discretionary purchases - regular expenses (bills, daycare, mortgage, even subscriptions) are budgeted for me on a spreadsheet since they don't change much or at all month to month.
