Slow Cooker + Fridge Speakers

The iPod finally gave up all the way. The screen still works but it doesn’t play audio even if it’s cold. As a stop-gap in the awesomeness that is fridge speakers, I had been using the “brypod” to play the fridge music, but I wanted that back for listening to music in other places. So …

Solar Power for the Truck

I’ve always wanted to play around with a solar panel large enough to do something useful. Since I occasionally drive my truck well into the middle of nowhere, running some of the electronics in it (the stereo, the radio equipment, or the inverter) off of a solar panel seemed possible, but as a secondary goal …

Videos?

A while back I posted a list of some of my favorite albums of all time. Notably, I left of Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, but that’s neither here nor there. Any way, in the same vein, I thought I would post my five favorite music videos to date. Just for a …

Dual-channel Power Supply

I have a new project on the horizon that I think is going to be… interesting, to say the least. I won’t go into that now, but I needed to build some tools before I can build what I actually want to build. This tool will be useful for much more, though. First thing was …

Finished with the Big Truck

Finally paid to get internet in my apartment for the first time since July 2009. Since then I’ve been rouge, updating on my phone and various other ways. Any way! I no longer have the huge Dodge 1500. I fixed the exhaust leak which was the last thing it needed, and returned it to Alabama. …

New location! New brake lights!

So a few months ago I bought this: I found it for dirt cheap and it only needed a little bit of work, including a new speedometer and new horns. And some TLC. I thought I might be able to make some money by flipping it. Then I decided instead that I should move to …

USB for the Truck

Well Verizon decided that their “unlimited” data plan is more “unlimited*” than truly unlimited, and they restricted my ability to tether my phone to my computer for the time being. At the same time I am moving to Florida so I wasn’t about to have the internet folks come hook it up at my apartment …

“…So I can winch things?”

So the last pictures of my truck’s new bumper weren’t super. So here are some great before and after shots! Also this is making me realize that maybe the 105-pound bumper and 90-pound winch squatted the suspension down a little more than I thought, so I will soon be going back in to lift it …

Brakes!

The key lesson here is easy so I’ll get right to it: Disc brakes are much easier to work on than drum brakes. That being said, here are some highlights and before/after pictures from my recent brake job on the Dodge 1500. Maybe there’ll be a lesson in here somewhere… These are one set of …

New Toy…For A Little Bit

(A quick update on the last post: I forgot to mention I didn’t drive out to or back from California. Google Maps isn’t really intended for plane rides. The rest of the mess on the Eastern Seaboard was driving though.) So when I flew out to California two weeks ago, there was an interesting film …
