Mark, dude...that is so cool.  It looks awesome!  Great write-up too.  I knew I 
recognized those bowls though.  I thought about buying a pair of those for the 
same reason the first time I saw them at IKEA, but alas time, and money, and 
time...just never got around to it.  What type of tape die you use to hold them 
together?  

Would love to see it at the next meeting.  As for other presentations, I 
haven't really started my next project in earnest but I'm working to re-use 
some solar garden light panels to power my USB Plasma Globe (lights tear down 
is all I've done so far).  If the meeting isn't just around the corner I might 
be done...that time factor thing again.  Just thought it might go nicely with a 
VDG presentation.  It'd be interesting to see if the VDG could make the plasma 
globe activate without being plugged in at any rate.

Bobby

  I'd like to hear about it.  I am afraid I don't have much to offer in this 
realm- if I did my finances would be a lot better than they are now!

  I just got an SX10 and I'm scared to death to have it in the same room with 
the VDG.  It is producing 8" sparks which I think translates to 400 kV.  
  Everything around it gets charged.  It hasn't killed my watch yet, so maybe 
it is OK to bring the camera close enough to shoot some pictures of the sparks.

  Ooo, neat project Mark!  I'd love to try photographing it...


  A meeting does sound like a good idea; I think Lawrence has a project that he 
was interesting in talking about as well, and if i get myself in gear I should 
have a super secret project or two to present as well.  Anyone else have 
something they can present on, or a topic that they would like to see covered?


  Also, Linda was interested in a small business skill share/swap day, does 
anyone else have an interest in that?


  Cheers,
  Matt
