Jul 19th 2006 3:02PM So what about sterilization? Wouldnt an autoclave toast that little chip. I guess there is chemical sterilization too. Or would this only be used in disposeable items?
Apple to give new iPod nano an aluminum makeover? {Engadget}
Jul 18th 2006 2:32PM Hmmm.. Dont think they will go with rounded edges like the mockups. Betting they will keep the same dimensions as the current nano. Just hope they drop the pastels and I am sure they will have black. After all First there was the black nano, then black ipod, and finally a black macbook. Cant imagine they would go back.

How-To: Build your own CNC machine (Part 3) {Engadget}
Jul 12th 2006 12:38PM EMC is a pain in the royal butt. A nightmare to setup and not that fun in general. Two best options are TurboCNC under DOS and Mach (http://www.artofcnc.com) Mach has its own drivers for the parallel port so you dont encounter the problems with other software running under windows and they have free version limited to running something like 1000 lines of code.
I have a harbor freight micro mill that I converted to CNC and am now working a a 4'x8'x16"Z mill.

How-To: Build yourself a front projection home theater {Engadget}
May 24th 2006 3:38PM Another cheape alternative to the Panasonic projector is the InFocus sp-5000. It does not have the high contrast ratio of the panasonic but for $600 less including a 76" screen its a heck of a deal. Still 1280*720 at 1100lumens 1:1200 CR it makes a great picture. I have hanging from a aluminum shelf permanently connected to my old MacMini with DVI and connected to my Onkyo 7.1 reciever via component. Beleieve me, no one has ever complained about the picture.
