This is actually Bryce speaking from the heart of Michelle when I say, "this is so borring! There has got to be something going on in our lives and we really do want to hear about it."
Our family has just traveled from Illinois (by car!), Michelle just got back from shopping all day with her mother, I watched the kids and tried to build a laser using a laser diode from a dvd player I bought for 5 bucks from DI. I was excited because on youtube, the guy built one and it burned through balloons and started matches on fire! Alas, I was too fast for myself and ruined the laser diode after the pain staking art of dissassembling the dvd player, extracting the laser with 'mission impossible' skills, showing the kids how the little dc motors still generate electricity when spinned, I hooked the laser to my computer power cord... It is 18 volts but the laser is rated for 5 volts at most (I found this out after researching it online!) I should have checked this first. Oh well. It was still the funnest 5 bucks I have spent in a long time. The laser lit for a second and then died! I will try again someday.
