2022: Fourteen years and still not dead

A lot has happened since the last update in 2019, including COVID, a growing family, and a recent foray into 4x4 adventure and Colorado mining history using a 2000 Jeep Cherokee that I bought in December 2020 and then renovated top to bottom.

I'm still keeping this website going, after resolving a configuration error that took it down for better than three months. Meanwhile, most of my recent project work (since July 2019) is posted on YouTube. Check it out!

Final note: I have many links to Eliott Sound Products (Australia) scattered throughout my articles. ESP's webhost has changed a couple times since then. The current URL is https://sound-au.com. If you encounter a dead ESP link, copy the link and replace the base URL (probably sound.westhost.com or sound.whsites.net) with the current URL (sound-au.com) and it should work.

2019: New technical article available

Years ago I published an article on fusing and protection schemes over at Elliot Sound Products, with generous help by Rod Elliot. Recently, I was inspired to do a major re-write, which I have published here.

At left, under "electronics," is a new "tech articles" section that will hopefully be expanded in the future. Take a look!

2018: Tenth Anniversary Edition

Amazingly, the site has now been here ten years. Other than domain and host renewals, it has languished (again).

One thing that happened in the meantime is that my favorite audio site, Elliott Sound Products, changed hosts. If you find a broken link to ESP, replace "sound.westhost.com" with "sound.whsites.net" in the URL and it should work again.

Hoping to do a light update of the layout and get a few more articles written up. We'll see how long that nonsense lasts. I don't have much time to build things now, but I do have a photo archive of things not yet published here. §
