Cut tape resistor kits are great for prototyping

If you’re doing any surface mount work, you should look into these resistor kits from Digikey. You can get them in any package (these are the 0805) and for ~$60 they’re a great deal. The compact box has strips of 50 each of 1 ohm to 1 Mohm 5% resistors. I’ve used them extensively when...

Monitor Memories

In honor of yesterday’s departure of a few monitors, here are a few other monitor memories. The first color computer monitor my family ever owned was an Amdek, which was actually the third computer monitor we ever owned. Our first was the TRS-80 Model III’s internal black and white monitor; our second was an amber-tinted one...

Ice Tube clock build-a-thon

Eggplant posted up in our forums about the Ice Tube clock kit and included a great photo! Just completed. Worked first time, no issues, and I’m quite a novice at soldering. Fantastic kit! Everything fit together beautifully, and the instructions were clear. I especially appreciate the mid-build tests.

The 9th of November, I stand in the Subway in Berlin, one stop away of Bahnhof Zoo. The train is totally packed, many people on their way to school or university, some on the way to celebrate the fall of the wall and the reunification of the german nation 20 years ago. As there were...

Migrating Monitors

I am, quite possibly, the world’s worst when it comes to buying things in hopes of reselling them —“flipping”, as it’s known. The concept is simple enough (”buy low, sell high”), but every time I try it I either (A) buy high and sell low, or (B) buy low and get stuck with it. There...

Making high speed video

This weekend has been quite the awesome weekend. 3ric brought a high speed camera (7000 frames per second at full resolution) and we made a few videos together. I've uploaded a couple of videos. Here's a high speed video of me using mentholated eye drops. And here's what happens when Eric, 3ric, Kelly and I get soy milk, a belt and a high speed camera. Go Vegan. Or something.For the high speed video of soy milk on youtube...

“We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies.”

In the same nook out in the garage where I found all my old concert tickets, I also found a file folder full of, for lack of a better term, “love notes”. I knew I had saved these somewhere, I had just forgot where. Since everybody else went to bed early Saturday night, I decided...

Concert Tickets

While digging around out in the garage earlier this evening I found my old stash of concert tickets. In a move that I hope I don’t soon regret, I spent about an hour tonight digitally scanning them into the computer and then throwing the physical copies away. I like looking at them from time to...

Das begrüßenswerte Ende des Aktivistentums

Seit den 90er Jahren zeigte sich weltweit eine Widerstandsbewegung, die mit neuen Formen des Protests und neuen Organisationsansätzen aufwarten konnte. Doch der real existierende bürgerliche Anarchismus in Form von Einzelaktivismus privilegierter Mittelklasseindividuen führte zur Desorganisation dieser Bewegung und damit zu ihrer tendenziellen Stilllegung. Die Riots sind vorüber, die Websites stillgelegt, Indymedia ein Kotzkübel und was haben...
