homemade keyfob flashlight

I decided to try to make a keyfob flashlight from everyday stuff around the house.
I took a keyfob battery, an LED, duct tape, plastic clip, ball bearing, leather and thread and KAA-BOOM...

A leather covered keychain flashlight. Only stabbed myself in the finger twice with the needle.
And yes when the battery runs out I'll have to take it apart and rebuild with a new battery.

Resolutions

It's almost the traditional time to make resolutions though one ought to really be seeking to improve themselves all year. If you don't make resolutions or goals, you will never fail to meet them.

A few of mine that I hope to keep in constant mind:

Learn patience.

Don't give advice.

Let everyone live their own life.

Stop thinking I'm always right. Even if I am. ; )

Don't argue.

Don't feel the need to be in control of everything.

Change yourself.

Reduce the desire for material objects. Except for the Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S.

Reduce ego.

Well...it's a work in progress...

Misc. Thoughts

Trying something new. A compilation of random thoughts each week, perhaps not warranting an individual post and not guaranteed to be of any significance.

- leather jackets are not just for motorcycles. They work great for giving your cats a bath. Scratchproof.

- TV has started to get really boring to me. Except maybe for Big Bang Theory.

- I am the only one at work that wears Vibram Five Fingers.

- I would like to own fewer and more functional things. Clothes, tools.

- the Hallmark Channel is the complete opposite of reality TV. And that's a great thing.

- I'd like to make myself a paracord key fob.

- Lego. Darth Vader. Flashlight. Keychain.

- don't wish for something you haven't set the foundation for. You are wasting your time.

- consumers only want to save money immediately, not in the future.

- the stock market is a fickle beast waiting to devour the romantic.
