When Your Music Really Blows!

I was wandering around Bunnings this afternoon, after finding a price on a new mixer tap to replace a seriously stuffed tap in our kitchen, when I happened upon this little gem of tackiness: A tower fan. With an “MP3 Input” – more likely, just a 3.5mm audio input jack. And speakers. And a clock. [...]

Accelerometers: Ribbed or Studded?

Some accelerometers arrived on my desk this morning for the project I’m currently working on – and I had to laugh at the packaging: Ribbed or studded for your accelerometering pleasure?

You might need to click on the photo [...]

Zap! I Think This Powerboard is Broken!

Amidst some recent project work for a major Melbourne hospital network, I stumbled across this powerboard in the engineering department of one of the hospital campuses. Given I found it in the engineering department, I’m sure it was there due to the “degraded” state it was in – (ie: taken out of service) – but [...]
