The book every electronics nerd should own

  • I just received my preorder copy of Open Circuits, a new book put out by No Starch Press. And I don't normally post about the books I buy, but THIS book is amazing. Anyone who likes electronics, computers, or engineering should consider picking up a copy.
    Seeing inside each component gives me a new understanding when I'm breadboarding or prototyping a circuit design-and why some components tend to fail more easily than others!
    You can pre-order it on Amazon: amzn.to/3fHTtKT (I bought mine directly from No Starch Press months ago, and they just started shipping it out to the early buyers this week)

    I remember in school when we had almost like a museum show up to our school and they have tons of stuff like these all cut in half to see how things inside looked and worked. It was a public school and in a not so rich area but man they really did some great things for us. They also had some gold panners show with little rivers on like flower bed like tables with running water and with rocks and sand and we got to see what it was like to pan gold and learned about our countries gold rush in person. There was real gold in the sand and if you found a nugget you got to keep it. Our little public school was ran by a principal and came from a family of teachers it was a great school. On rainy days we watched old black and white movies on a vintage working projector in the schools cafeteria the screen was huge! Like a movie theater sized screen we watched steam boat willy and newer micky and other very very old Disney films. They were very old and vintage and this was in the early to mid 90s.

      I wish these wouldn't just loop indefinitely. They're so short that if you don't stop them from playing before clicking to comment, then you just get the same short bit over and over again. No matter how clever or good the content is, it's a bit much. It should only play once by default.
