Today we had a trip to see our financial planner, it's a lot like going to the dentist, but with more numbers and morbid thinking. We didn't get back to the house until late and as we pulled up to the curb we realized that we'd left my car back the midway point between our two places of work. Boo.

So, no skirt today. My supplies are in my trunk and I'm worn out from discussing how much money I would need to live off of if Clark were to be eaten by a dinosaur. Instead, I made something simple and with short instructions.



I've made lots of resistor barrettes before. I've sold a few, but I like to horde them for myself. However, like many of my hair accessories, they tend to walk away by themselves, so every once in a while I'll make a new set. The resistors are regular carbon film, so they are inert. The barrettes are from my two-year-old supply from Metalliferous in Manhattan. I cleaned them out of every barrette they had the last time I visited.

The construction is about as easy as it gets. I snipped off the wire leads to the resistors and glued them in a row onto my barrette. Whee!

I love carbon film resistors because they have their own secret language.
