You may be a geek if...
« on: December 26, 2016, 09:58:01 AM »
You're thrilled to find out that an RGB LED can be used as a full spectrum, modulated photodiode. I didn't know that, but it made my little geeky heart flutter to make that work. So that's my morning. Going for a bike ride.

Happy Boxing Day.

LEDs are photodiodes!!  Who knew! Thanks AdaFruit. Hmmm. You may be a geek if you get the AdaFruit newsletters. You ARE a geek if you immediately dive into your handy travel electronics kit and check out the information.

You might be a geek if your son is a second generation Dungeon Master, following in his father's footsteps.

You might be a geek if you get over 100 people asking to take your picture at Comic Con....
