Sodium party

Just to keep y'all interested while I'm fretting over router config changes made remotely and when/if parts are going to get released from customs: Via Borklog, pictures and video from a Sodium Party:

Which brings me to a safety warning: Sodium is really rather dangerous. If we had been anywhere within 15 feet of this explosion, it would have sprayed us with molten sodium and sodium hydroxide. Even a tiny amount in the eyes would have been a serious medical emergency. That's why I built a device that let me release it in a very controlled way from a great distance: If you want to do anything even remotely like this, you should take similar precautions.
