Adafruit Industries is one of a number of sits I visit regularly, and within the last few days the blog had this gem. Quite possibly one of the funniest things I’ve seen. It’s a video made by another set of tinkerers I’d not yet heard of, but will be sure to follow now!

So I recently bought a Pogoplug device, sort of on a whim. I needed a NAS device, and the fact that the Pogoplug had HFS+ (OS/X filesystem) support made it a clear winner for me. I’ve been living with mine for about a week now, mostly with single 320GB HFS+ formatted drive. The $130 device [...]

So, I’ll have you know first off I’m NOT on acid, nor am I on a major cocaine high or anything of the sort.I left a voicemail at google voice to a friend this AM, that he had it translate to text. About the only thing it got right was our names. We figured out [...]

A friend linked to this Times Online article about homeopathy in a recent Tweet, so I figured I’d share it here. In case any of you actually thought “homeopathy” was at a ll legitimate. Note carefully the paragraph where they admit knowing it’s bunk but sell it anyway because people believe it [...]

Me again, yup. Been a while eh? Well, I’ve been busy. Rebuilding a pretty big site essentially from scratch. Trust me, I have plenty of things to rant about! This post though I hope to be another informative, less ranting, post about IPv6.
I keep seeing a LOT of well meaning but mis-informed or mis-understood claims [...]

Trying to get some work done early AM again, atleast this time I got a callback hopefully coming in from L2/2.5 when they get in after 6A and start returning calls after 8A. But that took insisting on it. The unknown host was because of packet loss ( had to try 2-3x to get bresnan.com [...]

Well, I’m currently being saved by TetherBerry because my Cable ISP Bresnan is losing 50+% of it’s packets for the last several hours.

The folks over at Screaming Circuits keep a blog, or at least one of them does. I tend to read it occasionally. Recently Duane Benson made the point that colleges tend to educate EEs like it’s 1984. I think it’s important that students get exposed to thru-hole because they’relikely to be able to unerstand that [...]

First excuse the err…crude “Screen Shots” – I don’t have my ’scope setup yet for proper screen captures so I just took pictures.
For a while now I’ve had a +12VDC wall wart that I use occasionally. It always caused weird heating though in regulators. I was never sure why, the multi-meter read it as having [...]
