I would like to be added to the list as well please, The Miller. For one of these GT BLF Special Giga throwers.
As of 3:16 am Central time, on June 2nd. I am seeing #452 Joat as being the last one on the list, since its last updating. I know this is no guarantee that I will be on list #1.
OK, since I “bit” on the Tee shirt and was told “I could have one drop shipped from 2015”. :person_facepalming: … ……. I might as well ask this question too and see where it leads.
Is the person in this picture really the “Neal” we are speaking of in this thread??
.
Yes, that was taken back when he was helping with the BLF A6 project. He’s a large part of the reason why BLF is able to get custom lights mass-produced now, because he convinced manufacturers to build what BLF wanted instead of what the manufacturer wanted. Before then, group buys were for mostly-stock hardware designed by the OEM. Sometimes BLF could convince companies to make a few changes here and there, but it wasn’t like the totally-custom stuff we have now.
The shirt happened because people initially had difficulty understanding the UI, so they joked about making my diagram wearable for easy reference… and djozz and Neal then turned it into a real thing. I never did actually get one, but that’s okay… I don’t generally wear t-shirts.
It was a running gag for a while, like when people wanted a similar shirt for the BLF-348.
So… yeah, that’s Neal. We go way back (if ~3 years can be considered “way back”). He’s good people.
You know who else we need around here? Saabluster, patron saint of throwers and creator of the DEFT-X.
And I know exactly how to summon him. Check this out.
All I have to do is perform a weird little ceremonial dance…
… and then chant the magic incantation three times:
ONE MILLION CANDELAS! ONE MILLION CANDELAS! ONE MILLION CANDELAS!
Any moment now, he should appear in a puff of smoke.
Wow great news, sorry for catching up late with this project. But if someone remember I was actually proposing a Lumintop for a manufacturer way back from beginning. Awesome ,thanks Miller !!!
I would love to have a t-shirt with the UI on it. How cool would it be to be traveling & have someone say “hey I know that diagram”? Our own secret society…BLF Forever!
Of course, our secret society’s sworn enemies will just say we’re Being Lame Forever. But that’s okay, we can just Blaze our Latent Ferocity at them and leave them Blinking Like Fools. Or give them a gateway drug like a BLF-348 (Beguiling Little F**ker), wait until they come down with a bad case of Burning Lux Fever, and welcome them to the family.
