Homebrew Financial Planning







Homebrew Financial Planning

Homebrew Financial Planning 02/17/2004 01:03 PM

I've been meaning to do it for a long, long time. But there are always more interesting things on my radar. After updating my copy of Open Office yesterday I started working on a few simple spreadsheets that will greatly improve my understanding of my financial situation. For far too long now I've been making educated (often overly optimistic) guesses based on back of the envelope calculations without the benefit of an envelope. I suspect that a lot of...

Homebrew Mecha


Homebrew Mecha 12/24/2004 12:16 PM

homebrew_mecha.jpg imageIf there is a sweeter pairing than the union of "backyard" and "mecha," then I don't want to know it (unless there is, then tell me right now). Deep in the Alaskan wilderness (okay, Anchorage) lives Carlos Owens, a 26-year-old steelworker who is working on his own hydraulic-motivated 18-foot mecha that he intends to unveil at a local race track, where it will hopefully spout fire and destroy cars—or maybe even fight another mecha. Owens has no idea when his project will be done (if ever), but you have to respect the work of a man who takes on the giant robot challenge even our government has been reticent to pursue.

Be sure to look at the photo gallery on CNet, too. There's a great shot of a 1960s power-suit that was being by GE. Imagine how totally wicked our society would be now if that would have panned out.

Fun with Homebrew Parts


Fun with Homebrew Parts 12/21/2003 12:05 PM
Every robot builder has been faced with needing (or wanting) parts that don't fit the budget. What's the solution? We try to improvise by building a homebrew replacement. Jack W. Crenshaw has written an amusing article in Embedded Systems magazine on this subject. He tells of an obsession in his college days to have (then unaffordable) seven-segment displays to play with. First he struggled to build a seven-segment display out of things like ice cube trays and light bulbs. He followed that up with a plan to build a circuit full of oscillators and counters that could generate the waveforms needed to turn his oscilliscope into a seven segment display.

Homebrew PCB Through-Plating Machine


Homebrew PCB Through-Plating Machine 01/11/2004 01:32 PM
Ever wanted to create your own multilayer printed circuit boards? For most of us it's easier to send them out to a commercial boardhouse but it can be expensive. Open Collector recently included a link to a homebrew through-plating machine that can create 3 in x 3 in, 4 layer boards in about 4 hours for around $10 per board. The creator's website includes plenty of photos but is a little light on description. He offers to provide more construction details including schematics via email, however, if anyone else wants to try making their own multilayer boards.

Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw


Homebrew baby-wipes with your table-saw 06/17/2005 03:34 PM
Cory Doctorow: For parents with table-saws: converting a roll of paper towels to a roll of baby-wiped through judicious application of shop tools and a water/soap/oil mix.
The first thing that must be done is cut the roll of paper towels in half. I've tried doing this with serrated knives or hand saws, but I've found that they either squash the roll or produce a very ragged, chewed-up end. The best solution I have tried is the table saw. A band saw would probably do as well, but I don't have one to test on. First, put on your safety glasses, then raise up the blade as high as it will go. Then, with the plastic wrapper still on the roll, cut the roll down the center. You will probably have to spin the roll to cut all the way through....

Now, a box of 384 premade wipes costs around $10. A bulk package of 8 paper towel rolls costs around $5, and makes somewhere around 900 wipes. So the former runs around 2.6 cents per wipe, while the latter is about 0.6 cents per wipe. Plus you have the intangibles, like a personal feeling of accomplishment and the fact that you get to use the table saw.

Land Walker Homebrew Mecha


Land Walker Homebrew Mecha 04/05/2005 02:11 PM

landwalker.jpgCalling this mecha the 'Land Walker' might be a bit generous—it's more like the 'Land Shuffler.' Nevertheless, it's a heck of a project, and if I'm reading the stories right, it's mostly the work of one man. Too bad the guns are just for show. On the upside, there's a video, which makes it look a lot less photoshopped than in these pictures. (Thanks, Erick!)

WHO SAID that Microsoft had the dominance in the operating system market? A couple of homebrew efforts appear to be treading new ground in the ever-shrinking sector of niche hardware hacking. First up, from the OS4 team, is the brand spanking new update for Amiga OS 4.0. Thought the Amiga was dead? Think again. The new release includes support for USB mass storage devices and a Kernel update, taking it to 51.20. You can find more details on the release at AmigaWorld.

So, I'm not planning on Pantherizing until I buy my replacement iBook, probably February or March of next year. (This is on the assumption that they announce them a the beginning of January at MacWorldExpo, start shipping them soon thereafter, then get the new hardware bugs worked out over the course of a month.) But I'm sure some of the other folks on this blog have the final version and are using it.

Is it worth upgrading now instead of waiting four months? Will I be able to have a Panther machine and a Jaguar machine (this one, which will become a backup) without going crazy?
