    I rarely toast anything other than various breads I make ie: sandwich, brioche, Challah etc. in my Dualit. If you're referring to something like a Pillsbury Toaster struedel , no I dont often make sweets anymore as I try to limit highly refined sugars (lol refined AP white flour for breads ... I...

    I am not a topic nazi, so by all means, please share. Mods could think otherwise of course, but I say do it and ask for permission later.

    I just fixed my Dualit four slice toaster which is a favorite appliance of mine. I've had it for about 15 years at this point with continuous use through that time. I replaced its Mi7 switch which finally burnt out. $40 bucks from GB and it's back together and toasting great. In a world of throw...

    Picked up an Apple Newton eMate 300! 😃

    Sure would be cool if there was an upgrade path to updating the screen to a higher quality color screen. These sure are a neat part of Apple history.

    TinkerDifferent - Gamer Tags & Usernames

    Yeah I am surprised how slowly this is filling up or how few gamers (old or new) there are on TD. Not much time right now to enjoy new titles (an all time fav of mine are the HL series games) as my boys are very young but I figure as they get older, there will be more shared time to game (or...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I agree and I think that can be done. Again for $400+ that expectation is not out of line. I agree with you on the benefits for plexi, but we're not talking about a $20-30 piece of commercial wall art, so I think it is fair to expect glass and proper shipping to preserve it. Really, for that...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I really like the design/breakout concept behind these (and the minimalist frame) but I agree that for that price, there should be zero issues. The generic verbiage & dust would be a big turn off for me when spending $400+ USD. Not having the exact part names is just lazy to me. Through that...

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely do this if I was single & it would be awesome but there lies the crux; as a married man, a single man is absolutely what I’d be if I were to proceed with such shenanigans.

    I would be divorced in 3 … 2 … 1 😅 Now an IPad on the fridge, I think I could sell that.

    Lessons learned the Hard Way

    This for sure. I was pushing through a PBg4 17" SSD swap around midnight on a Friday after a long work day, cooking, puting kids to sleep etc. and broke the trackpad ziff connector off the lobo. Should have put it away and went to bed to start up another day. Speaking of PBg4 trackpad ziff...

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    What are they? This can be as simple as a single-use gadget or as complex as a multi purpose item like an oven, mixer etc. I'll go first. A minced beef/meat wand/chopper. I find this single-use gadget to be incredibly useful. There is no other piece of gadgetry that I know of that pulls minced...

    NHK Video: Steve Jobs love of Japanese Art

    Nice Read - thanks for sharing. I had no idea Steve Jobs was a collector of Shin-hanga wood block prints. That's fascinating to me when you consider shin-hanga and Japanese cuisine intersecting with Jobs era Apple design. Very, very cool. Thanks again for sharing.

    My friend Charles has an early 80s RX-7. He has forever (decade+ at least ) been fiddling with the carburetor trying to achieve maximum oomph. Neat car. The more i look at those wood rack rails, the more I really like them. My 300D is garage kept, but still, 8hrs a day M-F parked at work is a...

    A work-buddy of mine from around 15 years ago DD'd a couple 240Ds that he had converted to bio fuel. I rode in them and it wasn't at all bad for an in town commuter. It was slow but heck, so is my turbo'd 300D. modern cars blow by me - my wife's Vdub Atlas just leaves me in the dust. What evs...

    I have considered swapping out to Euro lights a number of times. I do like the look of them and the stock bulbs are in fact not the greatest. I luckily do not live where there is a lot of ground fog, so I get by with what I've got but that is on the list of to-dos. Right now, I am refinishing a...

    Oh my, Little Kings are fantastic aren't they? Every time I am in the area (which isn't too often unfortunately), I scoop some. Yeah, grew up on the Reds, Bengals, n' chili parlors and have loved the stuff since I could walk. Mmmmm, delicious :) Nowadays I have my own scratch recipe but if I'm...
