About me
I was born with "The Knack", per Dilbert: http://blog.obscureresearch.net/index-April-2007-2.html and have been programming and designing Embedded Systems ever since. I worked for many years in a Electronic Contract Manufacturing environment. I know what it takes to have a idea come in on the back of a napkin, and get a finished product out the door. See my blog on the subject: http://blog.designer-iii.com/contract_manufacturer/20090616-211514-Is-there-a-rule-of-thumb-for-estimating-the-cost-of-getting-circuit-boards-assembled My work for the CDC/ National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health (NIOSH) Mining Division maybe found in the links below: http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com http://www.designer-iii.com You can find my name in the First Edition of the uCOS-II RTOS book and the wxWidget book. My particular interests are in the area of requirements management and Software Safety. See my award wining web site on the subject at http://www.softwaresafety.net

How do you feel about Circuit Cellar Magazine being sold to Elektor?
I find it a bit sad myself.

My wife tells me that *we* have to much "stuff", and some of *my* stuff has to go; never the wife's stuff is it?

We have just listed a TI CC2430DK/CC2431DK ZibBee/802.15.4 Location Engine Evaluation Kit, on EBay. It is in the original box, never used, static seals are still intact on all of the board.

Find it here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120503495949

If that link does not work, then use this link:
http://shop.ebay.com/ebayadvsearch/ and "search by seller" for "diamonddog4".

My wife tells me that *we* have to much "stuff", and some of *my* stuff has to go; never the wife's stuff is it?

We have just listed several unused Freescale evaluation boards on EBay, that I've had setting around for a while.

Find them here:

What kind of "stuff" does your wife make you get rid of?
