The new stuff chronicles #11: picture time!

My birthday was yesterday and today is the time to blog about the gifts. I already told you people what stuff I got and also that I didn’t really celebrate yet and that is probably why there aren’t that many gifts. Every year everyone says that they have no idea what to give to me, but eventually they always find something cool.

So here we go. The first thing I got from my brother on behalf of my parents is this box:

Box Box

This is a parts box that I can use for my RC parts. I don’t have that many yet, but I’m sure that that will change in the future. I’ve taken out the little yellow containers on the inside of the box to make room for my charger, batteries, multimeter and the power supply for the charger.

I think this box is really cool and it will come in very handy for sure. I can just take this to the track, open it up and leave the charger itself sitting in there so I don’t even have to spread my batteries all over the pit table and I’ll have all my parts in one place instead of all over the place. Maybe I’ll even put in some tools in it as well. I just have to make sure I don’t short circuit the power supply with a screwdriver then.

The second thing I got was a Philips Living Colors Mini. Believe it or not, these things are really cool. The only con is has in comparison to it’s larger brother is that this one can’t be controlled with a remote. But just set it on cycle mode and it’ll change it’s color continuously or you can just set it to a certain color if you like that better. Here are a few pictures of it. It can project a total of 256 different colors.

The white design does give it a somewhat apple-ish look though…

That’s it for now, but soon I will post the new stuff chronicles #12 with a Corally CCT and some other RC stuff. Stay tuned!
