I've been super excited the past couple weeks as I waited for the Wicked Laser to come in the mail. This thing is...well, wicked! The Woz has Wicked Laser, although I think he has one that can light a match. As awesome as these things are, please be very careful with them! They can be dangerous if pointed at someone's eye or in the sky (don't want to take down any planes, okay?). Now that we've gotten the warning out of the way, have fun with yours! Neal won't stop playing with ours.
