The latest find was from my trip to Anchor Electronics to get the GPS receivers (a separate post once I test them out), and I found this battery pack labeled for iPhone 3G & 3GS which has the 30 pin that works on iPods! Once I found the right powered charger and charged up the battery it works great with my classic iPods.

Never square, but always practical!

Based on the #memefication of a chocolate ad campaign with the #slogan "square, practical, good" (in German "Quadratisch, praktisch, gut.").

ZanoSin is the second luminaire in a series of light fixtures in which parts of a broken pressure washer are reused. For this lamp the polypropylene cover of the pump and electric motor has been repurposed as a lampshade.

Has anyone integrated the netbotz series (like a 320) with home-assistant.io or networkupstools.org or any open source DVRs ?

I have a couple of #Netbotz 320 from my #ewaste hookup that I am looking to use in my garage, connecting to our #HomeAssistant and the open source #DVR I'll be setting up. It would be cool & helpful to use the video camera feed along with the temp & moisture monitoring/trending.

For my second entry in #marchintosh is this #spicyPillow in a 2012 Mac Pro. IIRC I picked this up at #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket on the cheap, fully intended for a project but was packed up from the move. Unpacked the box this weekend, and noted the lid being pushed out – and upon opening noted the touchpad broken in half.

I opened it up & pulled out the spicy pillow, installing a spare battery I had on hand. Connected power, and it booted! The touchpad works, but to click/double click you have to push down to make the touchpad level while clicking/double clicking. Time to find a replacement touchpad, and when I do then also max out the RAM while installing an SSD.

For my first entry in #marchintosh I will post some pictures testing the Apple DVI to ADC adapters on the workbench.

Yep, they all worked!
