OK, I have to confess. I like blastin' a big blue beam out of my hand and into a beautifully blackened sky full of billions and billions of stars, to the bemusement of my bicycle ridin' buddies! I've never been a laser pointer guy, probably because I've built a career around working with beams and have always had lasers around the house. But I had to get one of the new 445 lasers when they came out (being technically significant you see, and important to my laser collection too you understand...), and it hooked me.
So here's a pic of Bob Skywalker havin' a bit of photonic phun at a San Jose Bike Party ride a few months ago. Great capture by Billy Cool. Get a load of the expression on the girl to the right of Ian, my bearded buddy! Great visibility ... no aircraft. So should I be busted for blarin' the blue?
