Welcome



Welcome.

You have just entered a portal to the wonderful world of lasers. The content that follows can get a little complicated. There will be some technical terms that I will have to use throughout the posts. I will definitely make the science easy to understand (if not, then get on my back and I will make things clearer). I will also try to add some kind of entertaining element to the posts to keep things interesting.

I highly encourage you to comment on my posts. Criticism is very welcome... just try to leave out the ad hominems.

Don't Waste Your Money


     I got duped!  I wasted my money on useless laser pointers!  What was I thinking?  Laser pointers have no purpose!  What are the possible applications for these scamalicious products?

1) Pointing at Presentations
2) Stargazing
3) Blinding Pilots (or anyone for that matter)

     But are these applications even useful?  How about laser pointers used as a presentation tool?  According to some professional speakers and presenters, laser pointers actually detract from the message by dazzling the audience like they were cats. Sloppy presenters might even shine the laser into the eyes of the audience, combining the problems with applications 1 and 3!

     Stargazing?  Now that isn't really an application.  After all, who even goes outside to look and point at stars nowadays, let alone try to map them?  All the ones we can see with our eyes or low-end telescopes (even without city lights inhibiting this hobby) have been mapped already.  Besides, shooting a laser in the sky can land you in jail if you end up accidentally taking part in application number 3...

     Attacks on pilots with laser pointers have increased across the nation, and the act is now considered a federal crime.  Laser pointers are a tool that evil people can use to ruin the days of innocent pilots and travelers.

     So why own a laser pointer?  Why even allow companies to manufacture them?  They are only good for destroying presentations, eyes, airplanes, and your wallet. 

.........Right?
