Project with my son
Posted by on March 10, 2011
Yesterday I helped my son build an AM radio out of a few things from around the house plus one diode. He was pretty excited about it. I think the next thing I will suggest we build is a speaker. Does anyone have any other suggestions for super simple electronics projects?

Ok, so of course it would happen to me. After taking the kids to school today I decided to go back to bed, I am on vacation right now so this seemed acceptable. I guess that the internet thought I should have been paying closer attention. When I did get up I found that I [...]
First the cars, now this?

Nobody seemed surprised when I promptly announced that it would be perfect for encouraging the herd of deer that hangs out in our [...]
Finding a purpose.
Posted by on December 24, 2010
It is Christmas Eve and I woke up this morning to the freshly fallen snow and the the sound of, RRRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG, I need to remember to turn off my phones when I go to bed. So after I finished the phone call, fed the cat, fed the birds, and made some coffee, I stopped to [...]
Social Media and the Workplace
Posted by on November 8, 2010
These days everyone from your grandparents to your cousins dog might be on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIN, or any of the other social media sites out there. These services are great ways to extend your social and business network, but there are also some risks. Many people never check to see what they are actually sharing [...]
