Thank you Mike, thats fair. I'd have equally accepted contributor or credit instead. This is a community after all...

  Are you sure? yes | no

Mike Rigsby wrote 03/31/2017 at 16:27 • point

Thanks! I enjoy just seeing what I can do with bits of technology.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Morning.Star wrote 03/31/2017 at 09:54 • point

Awesome chops, Mike. Your supercap paradigm is brilliant, really organic, Blinky's got some serious lineage as well.

Only you could call your pretty useless machine that, if nothing else its amazing research and very impressive work.

  Are you sure? yes | no
