    passive solar cooling paint idea

    I live in the desert so you can imagine the sun is very intense on homes. I found this idea/recipe for a cooling paint very cool (pardon the pun). This along with evaporative cooling would be fantastic or even as basic as a coating over/around the evaporative cooler itself could help cool the...

    New website homepage - feedback would be appreciated!

    I prefer a solid background for reading information (like TD's dark theme for example - solid white on gray). Reading off a background like that fatigues my old eyeballs. The cloud colors on black text is much easier to read vs 1v.

    Apple/Bose Roommate Speakers

    I wonder if Bose would have any information about these? Those looks really cool - love the OG Apple logo :)

    I absolutely agree that this by far has been the best VR/AR product offering to date & to have the brand, ecosystem and dev pool that Apple has already going in and the possibility there is fantastic. I'm more interested to see how development takes off and how this is used. Just like ios, the...

    Yeah none of this floats my boat. I think those look ultra dorky. The technology simply needs to get smaller, and the user experience certainly more refined than where it is right now - for me anyways.

    A guy can dream but I think that level of refinement in technology might be attainable when my kids kids are grown & I’m pushing up daisies :) I love the thought of integrating technology at that level & powering it off of ourselves essentially - so cool.

    Not terribly interested in this for anything other than remote working environment perhaps and immersive FPS gaming could be cool but with all the movement youd have to play in a rubber room. For every day use, I'd need something much much more refined - like something integrated into a contact...

    Filler for mdf mouldings

    I use a solvent based filler like plastic wood. Water based paints/fillers/caulk will react to unfinished MDF which is what nail holes and seams effectively are. This prevents water based fillers from setting/curing correctly as the MDF holds onto the filler moisture. I have used solvent based...

    Not only vintage Computers

    Another curiosity of mine when I was a whee lad in the very early 80s - I could not for the life of me understand how Star Track worked. I mean there were no tracks in space AND the ship had no wheels to go down these nonexistent, invisible space tracks. This just did not compute in my 4 y/o...

    Anyone have the manual for an HP Vectra VL400 MT

    Anyone have the manual for an HP Vectra VL400 MT ? I picked one up for free and was curious about the jumper switches on the motherboard. I think this would be a fun candidate for a sleeper 1ghz P3 gaming box actually in a modern case. Anyhow, I ran a quick search and found nothing tangible so...

    I'd want to ditch the shiny wheels for the stock rims too but that is one fine looking vette' - Congrats :) oh yeah. so in 2021 I said I was going to sell that 300d. Well, turns out I had some test drives but no one wanted to commit, so it lives in my garage and continues as my daily commuter...
