I love this panoramic series of photos of Matthew Good‘s workshop. He describes the contents: Ohm’s Law Medicine Man balsa wood glider (half finished) Make:Electronics book, Maker’s Notebook Woolly Mammoth clone guitar pedal, nearly done 2.5 gallon fishtank, testing out temperature logging via LM34 and Arduino There are no less than five computers on/around my […]

The super old ones are an 8500 and 9600 working as web servers, while a relatively modern G4/450 dualie serves as a file server. But […]
