Today I got this bright blue soldering mat to use for my videos.  Yes I do a lot of soldering but it also has a matte finish which is much easier to record my videos on rather then the glossy black finish of my desk.  

So I decided to test the high temperature feature, and got a little out of hand.  Surprisingly, it still did really well after burning my finger on molten solder and overheating the pad with a butane torch.

Second, I got a Seven Decade Programmable Resistor Board so I could figure out what value resistors I wanted to use in the AA LED Boost project so I could get 2mA and 10mA settings.
