Electronics 101

This site is great, it shows all different Electronic Circuit Schematics for all different types of electronics. Everything from flashlights to FM transmitters! The diagrams are very clear and easy to read, I recomend checking out this site to anyone. I think it can really help people that arnt used to looking at circuits figure them out.

Greatest Site or Kinda

Well I have spent the last month or so living off of this website. The way it supposably works is that it just supplies links to internet sites that supply videos. So when you go on and see for example every episode of South Park on it, that doesn't mean the site itself contains it, that just means it is somewhere on the web. Just because the locations are all spread out doesn't mean this is a pain to do. Just click on a title and the program will automatically play. Warning this is highly addicting!
The site is --- Peekvid.com

Talk about it

So I was sent this link the other day and it's pretty interesting. This virtual girl will follow your mouse pointer around and say whatever you type into the box. Note: She does not speak in the different languages supplied, she just sounds like she is of that origin. But ya, interesting piece of work, epsecially if you check out their web site and see how they are trying to make a profit of it.

Carbon Fiber, Friend or Foe?



Blackbird plans to release and interesting all carbon fiber guitar. It's unique design features and all carbon fiber body and a hallow neck that will help project sound. Now with my experience with carbon fiber, its strong, light and doesn’t warp so you intonation on the guitar will be set for life. However, carbon fiber feels different when in your hand and it is low on sound projection quality. I have played a Rainsong WS1000 another traditional styled carbon fiber guitar and I can find guitars for half its $2200 price tag that play much better. The Rainsong new design however is supposedly going to make it a new step for the untraditional material but I have my doubts already. Oh and it's price isn’t the most appealing either at $1600.
