What Was I Thinking? Part 1: Light fishture



It's "Failures!" month here at Make: Online. Throughout February, we're going to be celebrating the flip side of making, doing, and risking: Sometimes things don't work out as we plan.
On the other hand, sometimes things work out exactly as we plan, but when the passion of inspiration is gone and we look back in the cold, sober light of morning we come to a painful realization: I just made a giant piece of crap.
Thus it is that I hereby inaugurate a limited weekly series of posts called "What Was I Thinking?" in which I will be publicly cringing to recall celebrating some of my own more humbling morning-after moments. And possibly those of others. If I can get them to agree to submit to outright public mockery.
Which is why you're looking at a picture of a goldfish in a light fixture.
Or "light fishture," which is such a bad pun that I was already apologizing for it when I first posted this project on my old personal homepage back in 2005. Let me set the scene for you...
