Live Circuit Design - Commodore 1541 Pi Interface
Lets take up the good work of the Pi1541 project and make ourselves a viable alternative to the pervasive SD2IEC. This emulates the 1541 as exactly as possible, so gives maximum compatibility and as its Pi based, lots of future tinkerability as well!

My review of the Garmin Virb Elite action camera.
This is a great little camera, featuring HD, WIFI and GPS as well as a TFT screen and information dashboards.
Using ANT+ technology you can connect sensors, external switches, heart rate monitors and even have them all sync up and start recording at the same time.
Virb Edit allows video overlaying of all the captures GPS and sensor data and the WIFI app allows you to set up the camera from your telephone.
A nice little unit, if you get the white one other road users will be aware you have a camera and hopefully be a little more careful!
Crotch rocket camera! Twitter: https://twitter.com/BackofficeShow

Teardown Lab - Touchlamp
I have a look inside a potentially deadly touchlamp!
At the end of the day I dont think it was work experimenting any further, especially considering the damage that it could do to an operator if it shorted to its case! Ouch!
