Taiga learns my steps! (New Video)
12:23 AM, January 19th, 2010
(watch in HD on youtube)
In my apartment, I've got this crazy, thin staircase with no back, no railing, and slippery steps. Even my friends are scared to walk up and down it. Until today, my dog Taiga was unwilling to try. With only about 5 minutes of training, he was going up and down it like a pro!
Sorry about the racket in the background, it was my washing machine.

Converting an old AirPanel to LED Backlighting
7:06 PM, January 4th, 2010
A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me an old ViewSonic AirPanel as a gift. "Do something cool with this" he said. And I did! I mounted it into my hallway as a public-info Touchscreen, for passersby. You can see it on the DoorBuzzer page, near the bottom.
Anyway, the backlight inverter recently died. It was a specialty part for a rare screen, so the chance of finding a replacement inverter was slim to nil. I decided to go with LED backlighting.
