Mostly neon. Sometimes old computers. Occasionally photography, fountain pens, and nixie tubes. Brooklyn but slowly migrating to Palm Springs/Joshua Tree.

I have no idea. That's a problem for future me.15 Apr 2026 03:10 +0000at://did:plc:ciny2wfg7akyxt7ynko5symz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjiwaqqjzs2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/electronvalve.co/post/3mjaii6evek2vWeird discovery about uranium glass today - when you heat it, it looses it's ability to fluoresce. The dark spot in the tube was held in a flame for just a second. After the tube cools, the bent portion glows the same as the unbent glass. Does not adhere to soda-lime glass. Does to boro.11 Apr 2026 18:42 +0000at://did:plc:ciny2wfg7akyxt7ynko5symz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjaii6evek2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/electronvalve.co/post/3mih2oat7ek2hLove this thread.

(I only have soda lime electrodes - may need to order some borosilicate ones.)27 Mar 2026 22:55 +0000at://did:plc:ciny2wfg7akyxt7ynko5symz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mi37ncfodk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/electronvalve.co/post/3mhwe6doo2k2xI'm kinda digging all of the Aperture Science rebranding that is going on.
