Thunderstorm Footage videos

Last night there was a servere thunderstorm. I caught some awesome thunder and lightning with my digital camera. I couldn’t use my DVD cam, unfortunatley, only because I didn’t have a (good) disc.

My Router

Today, people on McInTEC’s vent were telling me that everything is laggy. I’m on an ethernet connection typing this, only because I’ve discovered that 2Wire wireless routers suck. My signal seems all ok, but for some reason I keep pinging out from the router. I moved it in the basement today, and, as it never has, it caused me tons of problems. I then moved into the family room, near the phone system. Believe it or not, as my Mini was diagonal from the router. It still was bad.

But I have so many other things I want on my list, that I don’t know what I’m going to do. In fact, you can watch an interpretation of this:

A good idea relating to electricity

I twittered tonight about a good idea I had. The basic idea is that you could cut an unused 12V DC output plug and solder the correct ends to an ATX power supply output. Now, you would have a 12V DC output plug to power a small, desktop speaker system, for example. Now, you would need more voltage on the output plugs to power any LCD monitor. But that will not happen anytime soon.
