How many engineers? at Commonsense Design

http://designblog.nzeldes.com/2015/01/how-many-engineers

Nathan Zeldes blogs on everyday product design. An elegant hydraulic calculator. Definitely a good idea! January 15, 2015. See the mechanic working on my Renault Clio. Do you know what he’s doing? Looks like he’s trying to squeeze his arm into a tiny space between some metal beams in the engine compartment frame. Why is he doing that? Because he wants to replace a burned out light bulb in the headlamp assembly. Why, what’s the problem? Here is the problem:. How many design engineers does it take.

Nathan Zeldes blogs on everyday product design. Another triumph of improvisation! A wonderful idea for defusing a child’s fear. May 28, 2015. I was sitting in the lobby of the Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem,. And I noticed on the chair next to me a small booklet someone had discarded there. An idle look turned to admiration as I examined it and realized what it was. The cover reads “ EEG test – the Institute for Neurological Diagnosis. Be Sociable, Share! Feed for this Entry.

JE Labs: SJ4000 + Kingone K5

http://jelabs.blogspot.com/2015/08/sj4000-kingone-k5.html

Travel back to the future. Friday, July 31, 2015. Don't worry folks, JE Labs has not ditched retro tech. I just needed a cheap video cam to capture my treks in the Mini a cheap bluetooth speaker which disappears in the dashboard. And prevents road rage in Manila traffic, even on weekends ;). SJ4000 factory default settings at 1080p 30fps. Original 720p 30 fps color video converted to B&W. Default settings @ 720p 30fps. The savings from buying cheap clones can be appropriated for retro tech projects ;).

Helping Myself - ✿herself

http://silentluciditi.livejournal.com/729962.html

Oct 9th, 2009 at 1:07 PM. When did I say that I didn’t want to help myself? Does anyone think I enjoy living my life like this? That I am unaware of what happens in my daily life, that I am ignorant of the mood swings and problems that accompany them? Do you really think I enjoy this? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Has nothing I have said or done shown that I am taking action, yes, for myself first? That I shouldn’t expect support or compassion? 2 comments Leave a comment. Musings of a Dinosaur.

Our beautiful village pub is once again up for grabs. | Postcards From The Land That Time Forgot

https://boattripper.wordpress.com/2014/10/22/our-beautiful-village-pub-is-once-again-up-for-grabs

Postcards From The Land That Time Forgot. Anecdotes from an English family life. Our beautiful village pub is once again up for grabs. October 22, 2014. But as I said, the storm winds blowing on the east coast were pretty threatening and our route takes us along too many tiny country lanes lined with some mighty trees that I’m sure wouldn’t hesitate to fall on us if we ventured out. And how stupid would we feel if we ended up dead for a movie? You don’t really have to answer that. The current owner made ...

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness? | Postcards From The Land That Time Forgot

https://boattripper.wordpress.com/2014/10/19/season-of-mists-and-mellow-fruitfulness

Postcards From The Land That Time Forgot. Anecdotes from an English family life. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness? October 19, 2014. This weekend, the middle of October, just a week or two before the clocks go back, and the sun is shining, pub gardens are still full and the east coast towns here in Suffolk are enjoying a late run of trade. It’s hard to knock it. I’ll admit that I certainly didn’t fancy taking the dogs out this afternoon, and they may be lucky to get a walk at all tomorrow. We ...
