The Myth I head somewhere in the past that if you get Rogers to redirect you to their retentions group, they’ll offer you better options than you’d get elsewhere. It just bothers me that it seems to be true that if you want those better options you first have to actually make some kind of case for them or threaten to …

Getting the Arduino Processor to function on a breadboard The next step in my HypnoOrb project is to figure out how to get the Arduino microprocessor (AKA ATMega168) that makes the whole thing work function with as little hardware as possible. Thanks to this awesome site, I found, I now know what I wasn’t doing right …

I’ve released a rebuild of an old classic program. The old Shit Talker application brought me many hours of enjoyment via calling my friends and goofing around. I’ve been sad to see no updates of Shit Talker for a long time and decided to just write my own. Hence I give you Shit Talker Phoenix! Some people use Shit …

Here’s a USB Flash drive I created - really just hacked the guts out of a flash drive, soldered on an LED & wires and jammed it in the guts of this ugly stuffed rat I had.

Howdy world, so I wanted to share this idea I have about a fun little project that I’m considering involving using little sheets of etched plexi-glass, LEDs, some random switches and some kind of controller (like ATMega168/Arduino) to create a cheap crude super bizarre little game system. Not sure what the game could …

Here’s a little video I whipped up on account that some people STILL haven’t heard of Synergy.. Check this video out if you too are a bit unclear about what the dealio with Synergy is.

Using the toys I’ve been enjoying ever so much lately, I’ve managed to really nicely smooth out the programming in my Arduino for my RGB LED. It’s so awesome that I’m given it a name! Meet the HypnoOrb! At this point I only have the raw prototype, but I’m considering going ahead an making more of them. I have to work …

So I got this awesome RGB LED from Sparkfun and decided to take it for a test drive tonight. Of course, I decided to drive this one with my Arduino board which is getting tons of attention lately. Check it out.

I’ve taken a few little steps forward towards my plans of building some cool stuff I’ve yet to announce. Yesterday I focused on testing out a tutorial I found on the Arduino website regarding driving multiple LEDs via chained shift registers. This setup is pretty cool as it only takes 3 pins off of the arduino …
