Brad’s Blab

With just 7 Days until Christmas Myself Brad Shupinski has created a new Computer Controlled light display in Pottstown Pennsylvania. The Christmas light display runs from 5:10 PM until 9:00PM Eastern Standard Time. Currently there are about 4,800 Mini Lights in Red, Green, Blue and Clear, and 400 Red C7 Lights drawing a maximum of 24 AMPS. The Lights are all controlled by 16 Channels and are controlled by a computer. There are four music selections that have been synchronized to the lights for 2007. The songs are Mad Russians Christmas from the Trans Siberian Orchestra, Wizards In Winter also from the Trans Siberian Orchestra, Hot Chocolate from the Movie Polar Express,  and Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano. The music is transmitted over a low power FM Transmitter, if you drive by please tune your radio dial to 90.7 FM and enjoy the show.

The Christmas Light Display is located at 809 N Hanover Street in Pottstown PA.

Next years display is being planned already and will hopefully have triple the lights this year, and maybe even more!

Please visit http://bgslights.com for more information on the display including photos, and videos.

Here is my Maglight Maglite Review.

I have 2 Maglite flash lights right now.

I have the 3 Watt LED 2AA version Maglite, and the 4D 3Watt LED Maglite. Both maglights are very very bright as they use the same LED. Their differences are the size of the optics, and the battery type. The 2AA version of the Mini-Maglite doesn’t last as long as the 4D Maglite but is as bright as the 4D Maglight.

The 4D Maglite does offer better optics that project light further then the Mini Maglite, aswell as longer battery life, and even comes with a standard bulb in case something happens to the LED. If you own a Maglite that uses bulbs, you are in luck because Maglite offers upgrades that you can put in your flash light to make it LED. The Mini-Maglite can only use the LED.
All Maglites are built to last, they have high quality metal housing, and are water proof(to a certain degree). Maglites will last you years to come.

I found this on the web. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Vista-Suicide-Courtesy-of-McAfee-50761.shtml

Windows Vista, Microsoft’s extensively applauded most secure Windows platform to date can be taken down by nothing more than a mere animated cursor. I have seen this piece of news spreading, following a security advisory posted by the Microsoft Security Response Center. But what is the real deal behind this information?

I was searching on the internet because my new 3Watt LED 2AA Maglite started having the problems that my old maglite had. The switch mechanism causes the light to flicker or not come on at all.

I found this interesting review on amazon.com, i can’t make any sense of it. Possibly Engrish.

This look at the darkness ring /write where small size Maglite is dim. If the head of the flashlight which is broken that is twisted, concerning that exactly as for a certain thing, that that it is and changing the beam into the dark ring flood where light/write is put in place appropriately exactly from the fact that it becomes black it is possible necessary. So being anodized for corrosion resistance and the durability which increases, this flashlight really the automatic operation which removes oxidation as a feature showing the type switch of cleaning which rusts. While making the application of a bad state where the part of the circuit of low resistance the electric battery is bad possible, the O ring of resistance to class and the water whose each start is high produces effect. The representative of nast free light/write of the hand of of the convenience which candle mode that is entreated includes in the darkness in regard to this flashlight. Needs the something which dark state is hard, sign of the diamond which is applied that has been broken perhaps and is the fairness where where it is turned off and with that of the point in regard to the excessive lamp of help of the tail hat of grip that you attach. Your purchase includes the electric battery of the main holder and two alkalis AA.

In any case i contacted Maglite and they sent postage to me so that i can send my mini-magilite in to them to get a replacement. I believe they have a lifetime warranty. Also if you are having the same problem as i did, try another set of fresh batteries.
