Mission Statement
This site is dedicated to sharing my research and knowledge about technology and whatever else I've been into for some time.
Robert Heinlein has pretty-much explained my credo in the two below quotes:
"There is an old song which asserts 'the best things in life are free.' Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted … and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears." - Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein
2026-03-27 I am still alive and still able to use a computer. I am very grateful to be alive, it has been touch and go since 2018.
I still have a lot of stuff on eBay for sale, including Z80 and CDP 1802 cpu, a large selection of Creality Ender 3 and CR-10 replacement parts, electronic components such as LED, Capacitor and Resistor kits, Crystals, Arduino (unsoldered), Arduino expansion boards AND (...) so much more. You can visit Hardware for Hackers eBay store. Since I am almost blind I shut down my business and am merely liquidating quite a lot of inventory. So this is not a clearance sale but I do hold regular 5% off sales. I have not raised my prices in almost 5-years! All things considered I really need to sell everything and NOT sell on eBay any longer. It is very hard to complete the smallest tasks.
2023-03-07 I am almost blind so very hard to update or create any content. Goodbye.
2022-07-22 If you are wondering where all the content is… It is all here at the same paths that it was before but I have merely removed all the references to it on the left menu panel. You can find it all by using the "List all pages" selection which I left in place. All that content should be considered "retired". I don/t really want to maintain all that since my sight is failing. Unfortunately the Wikidot search engine is still offline so all you can do is use that "List All Pages" selection for now. Yes, it is tedious. Wikidot search feature has not been working for a long time as you will discover if you try. I still really love the platform and maybe someday it can be restored. I still recommend Wikidot, it rocks.
