Hi all, I haven't been around much because I have been concentrating on my studies. But I am finally done. I am graduating Cum Laude from the University of Idaho with Bachelor of Science degrees in Information Systems Management and Operations Management. It has been a long road getting here...

As many of you may remember I was complaining about the cost of parts for electronics projects my son is working on. Bubba_S send my son an awsome care package with lots of interesting parts and I promised to post up a circuit he created. Well here it is......and it is also his first YouTube...

WTF I have a Korean finance instructor and he showed this video in class. This has to be one of the most random music videos I have ever seen. Supposedly it is number one on itunes. :wtf 9bZkp7q19f0

I am working on a project that I need to interface to an android phone. IOIO looks like it will work but I need to hook up a secondary display to it. Basically I need to send data from the android phone and display it on a display connected to the IOIO. Does anyone know if this would work...

These were the words I heard from my 13 year old son upon openning the box of electronic components sent by the awesome BARF'er Bubba_S. Some of you may recall a thread I created about my son doing a hydrogen creation experiment and me complaining about the cost of some basic electrical...

I just heard of Windows RT and was curious if anyone knew or could speculate on whether it would work on a Raspberry Pi? My thought is that since linux run's on windows machines (e.g. x86) that Windows RT may run on the same ARM machine is linux. Anybody?

I am working with my son (13 yrs old) to teach him some basic science stuff. Right now we are working on making a Hydrogen generator (basically an HHO gas generator). Most of the stuff is pretty cheap because we are taking other things and re-purposing them to our need. One of the things we...

Who has upgraded their cellphone through Amazon? How was activation handled? Did you have to change your plan? I was going to do mine but then it had a "choose a data plan" section and I don't want my data plan to change at all (grandfathered in on the unlimited data). Should I just go to a...

On my recent visit to the Bay Area I found this on Treasure Island. It looks strikingly like the silhouette of the girl in many of Kevin's paintings. Did you have something to do with this Kevin? Anyway, I thought it was a pretty awesome sculpture. Who doesn't like a 50 foot naked lady?

Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan in a movie about White House butler.:wtf http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/mar/27/jane-fonda-nancy-reagan-film This seems inappropriate given Fonda's political background. I will be curious to see "how" she plays the former First Lady. I suspect it won't be...

This seems like a no-brainer of an item. A helmet mounted display like a HUD that is mounted in the helmet to give you instant information like speed, RPM, gear, etc. The only thing out there is the sportvue which looks like it kinda sucks (but I guess for $60 it's not to bad). Is there just...

So I turn to the wisdom that is BARF. I am working on an idea for an invention and I need some prisms to experiment with. The problem is that you can't just run down to the corner store and pick some up. I have looked online (ebay, amazon, google) but cannot find anything that is both...

Heard on NPR today, I hope it is true. http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-higgs-boson-new-particle-20120705,0,6326048.story?page=2&track=rss

This woman's voice just washes over me. Turn it up and close your eyes. fslARLAzoEw I can't believe some of the other crap she has done, but on this song her voice is incredible! Who else has an incredible voice?

Ever since I was a child I had wanted to get my pilots license. I had every flight simulator you could get on a computer and played them constantly. About 8 years ago I realized my life-long dream and finally became a pilot. I even went beyond that and bought an airplane and flew it...

So the gone but not forgotten thread got me thinking about an accident that happened in the late 90's (I think) on the Sunday Morning Ride. If I recall correctly, three (or maybe 2) guys died in the accident. From what I remember, the lead riders were cresting a blind hill when someone passed...

So after hearing so much about how great Deadwood is, I finally watched it and I agree that it is good (not great, but really good). After watching three seasons I find that it ended in 2006.:wtf I thought it was an ongoing series and am very annoyed that it ended with so much left hanging...

(sqrt(2))^3 = 2(sqrt(2)) Can someone please explain how the square root of 2 cubed equals 2 times the square root of 2? Or point me to a web site that explains it? Thanks much.

So for Thanksgiving I have been given the task to see if I can find the Packers vs Lions game to watch live on the internet for free. I don't really like watching football so my motivation level is not all that high. So I turn to the BARF, does anyone know a site where the game can be watched...
