I love the "worlds smallest cat at only 0.9 inches long". So funny in a completely nerdtastic way.

    Also the name is delightfully nerdy; I'll bet current only flows one way through that cat, at least under low loads.

Bonus points if you make one with conductive legs that you can attach clamps to and use as a 555 timer.

    Put an IC socket on top so you can use any DIP8 IC to build GODZILLA CIRCUITS. Though you might have to add active amps in the legs at higher signal frequencies.

This reminds me of Radio Shack's Engineering's Mini-Notebook series. I still have a copy of the 555 timer one that was given to me by my high school electronics teacher.

Some interesting 555 background info.

Definitely nice, but.

Now I'd like a version that I can hack together with everyday tools and less-then-average wood worker skills.

555 is such a beautiful thing, it has more than 1000 functions. The only thing I can imagine to compete with it is 7400

Can I get this in an SMD package?

I hope that someone who knows Hans Camenzind shows him this.
