A look at the YouTube silver play button which I received recently "for surpassing 100,000 subscribers".
A look at two unusual packages - some fumed silica and a sheet of grafoil.
And a prediction for the future!

    one can clearly tell you are located in the northern hemisphere, because the dots of sunlight on your cutting mat are moving from right to left 🙂

    I've seen that Graphite paper before. I don't remember when, or what is was for. It did stick in my memory for some reason. I think is was in something I took apart. Not a "Bulk" supply at work or anything like that. I do remember it coming off on my hands.

    Arduino, Alice, Fish and Chips, oh, wait, Um, Capacitance, tolerance, Henry's Ohms Law and Diesel Heaters. Is that everything?
    OH!! Vocoder Project and Solar. Julian Ilett…Electrifying!

    Wired batteries in series = same capacity, higher voltage, wire capacitors in series= less capacity, higher voltage. hmmm i'm not sure about your prediction

    Dental impression material (alginate) is used to thicken milk shakes. It is also being looked into as a way of makimg low-fat foods have the same texture as their full-fat counterparts.

    so you surpassed me and 99,999 others. If I knew what it meant I might know better whether I should be pleased or offended….

    Look at the eevblog mod if you're looking for some fancy light things to do with the play button.

    It usually takes months go arrive. Surpassing is probably a good way to describe it…

    Congrats Julian. You are one of my favorite all time youtubers. Love your enthusiasm and curiosity about how things work. You also are very good at explaining things and have inspired me to get deeper into electronic projects.
