Update New Year's Eve (12-31-08)


Update New Year's Eve (12-31-08)
This will very likely be the last update I make to this weblog until at least mid-January 2009; I'll publish another update as soon as I'm able to after I arrive at my temporary home in western Washington (or "Warshington" if you prefer) state to let everybody know that I arrived safely if for no other reason.
I'll be "moving out" this evening.

Update New Year's Eve eve (12-30-08)
The moving plans are being tweaked just slightly...instead of leaving on the morning of 12-30-08 as had been previously planned, we'll be leaving on the evening of New Year's Eve (12-31-08), with an ETA at our temporary new residence expected on 01-06-09.

The moving plans are beginning to come together now...we'll be leaving here on 12-30-08 as previously indicated; we'll then spend several days in a motel in Sacramento, and then leave for the Seattle area on 01-03-09.

Update 12-12-08


Update 12-12-08
My stepmother flew up to western Washington (or "Warshington" if you prefer) yesterday in order to scope out some houses that are potential candidates for us to move into later this month. She is expected to be there until 12-15-08.


A "big old jet airliner" {Steve Miller Band reference here} like my stepmother got on yesterday.

I went through more boxes of my belongings selecting what to keep and what to dispose of; the "Big Fat Meanie" (from SpongeBob SquarePants) {garbage truck} is going to get a lot of my lights and other belongings - out of approximately nine medium U-Haul boxes, I'm keeping only a single medium box (slightly smaller than a U-Haul medium) - so you can see a lot of stuff will end up at the dump real soon...possibly as soon as later today.

Update 12-09-08


Update 12-09-08
There is a possibility now that we'll be moving to Kent WA. USA - this is only approximately six miles NNE of Federal Way however, and really isn't a major issue here.

Update 12-07-08


Update 12-07-08
Many of my lights and other products are to be put out for a multi-family garage/yard sale today; those that do not sell will be donated to charity. The dreadful "" icon won't begin to appear en masse on my website until ***AFTER*** the move though, when I can inventory (in detail) the remaining products.

Update 12-01-08


Update The Day my Website Died :-( (12-01-08)
Today is "Beezelmon's Big Day" {obscure Digimon reference here} - my LED website is now officially mainly archival-only; however I will still be testing LEDs (providing beam photographs, Vf and If measurements, intensity measurements, performing spectroscopy and {when possible} beam cross-sectional analyses) -- and evaluating small lasers much as I always have.

Evaluations of flashlights and other products (other than small lasers) are now only being performed if the sender pays for return shipping. "The Smack Test" and "The Immersion Test" will only be performed with explicit written consent (not just implied oral consent) and the sender agrees to the product's return even if one or both tests result in damage to the unit that would prohibit its resale.

The decision to scale back like this *** IS NOT *** mine; my parents (whom I live with primarily for financial reasons) are absolutely, positively, 100% adamant that I dispose of much of my existing test stock and limit new evaluations to only those products for which return shipping is paid.
