Blue lasers pointers!
7 days and counting until my PhD is due! And so, a brief segue: If you’re planning to buy me a present to celebrate submission, you could do far worse than a blue laser pointer. Fr far too long the green laser pointer brigade has been smirking at those of us still using the good ol’ read lasers - sooo 20th century.
The blue laser was created about 10 years ago by Shuji Nakamura, who was working mainly on developing blue LEDs. He solved single handedly a problem which several large corporations had been working on for years!
These laser pointers are really quite bright and (obviously!) very distinctive. And, they come at the low, low price - of $999. US dollars. Whoa.
I’d also settle for a cruise. Your choice.
