Earlier I posted a PCB Checklist of items to double-check when sending your board out to a fab. The Dangerous Prototypes blog pointed to a 3D EAGLE PCB tool from a Bulgarian-based developer called Cytec that takes an EAGLE BRD file and renders it in 3D for you.
The example board I have above is a render of my MSO Demo Board. And I have to be honest, it looks much like that one!
In this Rockwell Automation video you’ll learn all about their latest Encabulator technology. The presenter goes through each piece of the system expertly describing both its name and its function. Now, since this video is from 2008, it is a little bit older. And in today’s technological terms, may be difficult to understand.
(BTW, this is what you probably sound like when you try to explain your projects to your friends.)
On rheslip’s Open Emitter blog, he has a project which turns a Teensy into a SDR. His latest update includes an enclosure for the project, making it a nice all-in one package.
At only 87mA it is slightly more power efficient than my PC-based or Pi-based setup.
Make joins Joshua Smith at Makergeeks.com to find out how 3D Printing Filament is made. They make their own filament from scratch and not just source it ready-made from China.

Your Netflix might have some hidden gems buried inside of the growing list of streaming TV shows. It is probably well-known that Mythbusters is available on Netflix, but did you know about these 13 other shows? Not only does this list contain shows like Modern Marvels, there are also a couple of stream-able movies like the Andromeda Strain. Which, for me, was the first non-Star Trek or Star Wars Sci-Fi I remember watching. Which is interesting, because it is directed by Robert Wise, the director of the first Star Trek movie.
Anyway, the ECN Engineering Show list is pretty good and should have at least a few shows to add to your Netflix queue.
