    Why build Flash web site?
    The percentage of web users on non-Flash-capable platforms grows all the time. Designing a Flash only web site is stupid.

    What is not so grear are those forest fires near Moscow. And the smoke gets quite far away and is annoying eve where I live (near Helsinki in Finland). The sky is gray and air is far from fresh… Hopefully they get the fires under control or at least the wind direction changes…

    I have had some ideas for some ebooks, but due lack of time (other projects taking all time) I have not made any progress in that direction.

    I’ve tried a similar circuit for an LED labcoat. I found the CC driver in the TLC5940 is very finicky about running up against it’s rail (0V) and will only get within 1.2V to ground. And eventually will burn out running like that. What resistor did you use to set the current in each channel? I assume you are running the strips at 12V and your source is 12V.

If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me. As you work on developing your targeted demographic, you need to keep your followers engaged, so you will want to tweet, or post, often.

    To nerds like me, this is massively more entertaining than what goes on in the front of house in the Festival :D
