Here’s a cool little instructable on how to etch solder paste stencils at home.
I have been researching for home-made PCBs lately as Garrett’s always talking about it.
Anyway, we can refer to this when we make some custom boards.

Wii HACK - Nintendo Wii combo Component/Composite Cable

Nice Nintendo Wii hack for people who need this hack…bookmark it!

The Nintendo Wii ships with a composite video cable that is capable of 480i resolution. Currently first party component cables, which allow for 480p resolution, are available through retailers and directly from Nintendo. However, when attaching the component cables, one loses the ability to output composite video. Why is this an issue? Well, it may be that you take your Wii over to friends houses frequently and would like to only have to take a single cable. Or, you may be like me, and use an LCD computer monitor for your Wii’s display. My monitor has composite but no component in. To support high definition signals, I use a small transcoder box, the Mayflash YPbPr to RGB transcoder, that only supports progressive scan modes. However, many older games, such as GameCube games, and even some of the new Wii games, like Rayman Raving Rabbids, don’t support progressive scan. In these cases I end up with a black screen and need to switch cables to play the game. What a pain.

Ohio hotel to implement RFID room-key wriststraps

Posted in Audio, Consumer, Cool, Educational, Entertainment, Funny, Gadgets, digg by max on the December 12th, 2006 at 5:25 pm

Of course, we will have RFID everywhere very soon starting with hotels. Well, we can always bs
about what’s going around this world with RFID and how Wal-mart has implemented RFID before
any other mass-producers…well I rather listen to some California hotel, below on YouTube….

Of course, given all that we’ve heard about RFID being hacked left and right, we’re not exactly convinced that making it easier for someone to gain access to your hotel room is a good idea. But perhaps those folks in Mason are too busy reading Blogging Ohio instead of Engadget to worry about such fussiness.

I am just glad Wal-mart headquarters is in Arkansas not California…
