It’s been exactly 2 years, 7 months, and 26 days since this site was started. In the beginning, this site wasn’t even a real blog, I used basic HTML code to create couple pages that looked like a blog.
Of course, after using WordPress and started covering more DIYs, HOWTOs, gadgets, and other cool tech stuff, we began to grow and grow.

I went to the Silicon Valley Electronics Fleamarket in San Jose this morning. It was great, I wanted to buy everything! I was too busy looking at all the cool stuff to actually buy much. I’m definitely going to this every time they have it…next one is May 12th, 5am to noon. Here’s a

Here’s a preview of our USB Portal Project we will be showcasing at Maker Faire 2007.
