Strong World Usopp Sadness

Chopper is disappointed in this P.O.P's mechanics

(fantastic figure overall though)

So it's only been like a good 2 days? and my Strong World Usopp's head just snapped. I tried changing the head piece and with a little pull the joint snapped. I was a little disappointed that 1) it was on a ball joint and 2) the hole opening on the head piece is literally impossible to exchange. There for some crazy glue and sand paper came to the rescue. I'm using 150 Fine Surface remover to manually sand the hole in the head. Also reinforced the ball/neck joint with some more crazy glue. At least it was the ball/neck piece snapped and not the actual figure itself. Gave myself a heart attack when this snapped.

Strobeshnik: A Digital HDD Clock

STROBESHNIK: A Digital HDD Clock

Was browsing around for some crazy gadgets and came across this Digital HDD Clock hack that this guy from germany I am assuming has made. Pretty cool hack I've seen in a long time, but check out the youtube video above and take a look.

Here is a description from the marker - Viacheslav Slavinsky: Strobeshnik uses stroboscopic effect to create the illusion of persistent numeric display. The hard drive platter has 10 digits, colon and dash marks, cut all the way through it. Behind the platter, in the HDD chassis, there is a PCB with groups of diffused LED's. Groups of LED's in each character position can be strobed independently at any given time. By careful timing of the light strobes, an illusion of still-standing numbers can be created.
