I have two things up for sale: 1. A box of a bunch of harvested sleds. Over 30 6x Blu-ray sleds and a few PHR sleds. Most of them should have intact optics, though some are damaged. Lots of cool lenses, mirrors, etc. The red and blu-ray diodes have been harvested but most still have the IR...

Goto here: The Lounge It's the 'in' thing. DO IT or Homeland Security is comin for you.

SOLD! I had been looking for a good deal on this meter because it has a low ohm range setting (shows down to 0.01ohm). I ended up with two, so I'm selling the other. The retail price on these is around $150-180. When I got it, it was new in the package. I took it out to test and get...

Extracting the Blu-ray diode from a 6x sled (video) Here's a video I just uploaded of removing the violet diode from the 6x sled. From the start of getting it out of the sled, to removing the ribbon and getting it out of the heatsink. I still need to annotate to give proper descriptions of...

Was watching The History Channel the other night and a show came on called Monster Quest.  This episode was about the "Swamp Stalker" and talked about these guys investigating this big foot-looking character in the woods of Arkansas.  Anyway, they proceed to spray some plants with a UV marker...

Argh!  So, my laptop (with Vista) last week boots up one day and says that the "desktop" files are corrupt and something like "launcher.exe" was corrupt and none of my desktop program icons show up (files/folders still do). Well, I ignored it up until last night when I decide to try the...

I was doing a number of these for myself and another member, so I decided to make a video detailing the specifics of each variety of the 6x sled, how to identify them, and then extraction of the red and blu-ray diode.  The one I extract was the most common type, but the others are just as simple...

No, not just drinking it ;) I'm starting off easy, got a Mr. Beer kit from local store for really cheap (was $19.99 for the normally $49.99 kit). Making my first brew now; Whispering Wheat Weizenbier 8-) Also, I got some refill kits from, of all places, Harbor Freight Tool with a 25% off...

I just got the RROD on my Xbox360... second time since I bought it (been about 2 years now). Fortunately, Microsoft extends the warranty for RROD and I also purchased the extra warranty, so repair is free, but I still won't have it for about two weeks >:( I usually use it to watch TV shows I...

July 2007 I purchased an XPS M1330 notebook, pretty much loaded and 3 years in-home/accidental warranty. I received it 2 months later, in Sept 2007, due to high demand.  It looked and ran great and I loved it. Since then, I have had the screen replaced (including failed attempts at doing so) 7...
