Political rant to follow

Ok... as mentioned before, I need to learn to use "jumps" or "breaks" to limit clutter on my front page. To do so, I'm deciding to post my newest political rant after the break...

Who is this guy...

I write like
Cory Doctorow

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

A start...

Ok... the amp will be designed around National Semiconductor's LM1875 audio amp. This, from all reviews and opinions I've gathered, is a decient enough chip at a good price...

So as this is probably now becoming more of a design/build blog, I need to learn how to create breaks, as I don't want to clutter the main page with long, drawn out technical discussions and drawings/photos....

We're going to do this now...

Ok... I've decided on a pretty basic amplifier... im pretty unhappy with the portable amp/speaker combo sound, so this is a good reason to do this... unfortunately, the AMP will run me <$50, but speakers not so much... so new mission. Need to find a good set of portable speakers on the cheap.

good luck to me :)

Ok... lets do this

After much deliberation, I've decided I need to go back to making SOMETHING. I have several constraints to this project, listed below.

  • Must be CHEAP. I'm thinking <$50 US.
  • Has to do SOMETHING. (Light up and make noise do not count)
  • Must be able to be made with tools I have on hand. (I.E. no special fabrication)
  • Parts must be able to be ordered independently (Not usually a problem, but still a limitation)

So there you have it kids... Not sure WHAT I'll be building, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know.

YAY fun...

So I enabled ads on this to see what they decide to advertise here... Post comments if you find anything particularly amusing/disturbing...
