Invisible, Diamond Sword for Kids
I made an Invisible, Diamond Sword for my 4-year old from clear packing tape. It’s pretty close to invisible as we’ve lost it a few times laying in the open. He really digs it. He woke up asking for it the next morning.

Easy Automatic Control for Holiday Lights
We put up the Halloween lights over the weekend and I was reflecting that these timers really help make it an easy and no fuss set up.
It turns everything on at sundown and stays on as many hours as you specify. You can also just leave in on dusk to dawn or simply on or off for debugging.
It’s really nice enjoy your own lights if you come home after dark plus I feel better about using the energy since I minimize it by only having on for a few hours each night.
