Hi. I'm David Forbes. I'm an electrical engineer, working in the field of radio astronomy. But electronics is also my main hobby. I started playing with Nixie tubes in 2000, when Tom Jennings gave me a few that he had been collecting to build Nixie clocks. He also got me interested in oscilloscope CRTs as a numeric display device. I developed a scope clock, a few Nixie clocks, and a Nixie watch in the next few years. I still make Nixie watches, having produced a couple thousand since 2005. They seemed to become popular as a result of the Woz wearing one. You can see Seth Rogen tell Steve Jobs all about the Nixie watch in the 2015 film Steve Jobs. I am currently going through some life changes, so I haven't had time to focus on my projects much. I have a big pile of tubes that want to get turned into products.
