you know how you render bacon, can you render the thc out of weed and create super weed and then powderize it and put it in a snuff box?

it's not really rendering, it's extracting

imagine you're making coffee but the coffee is weed and the water is some other solvent

then you evaporate that solvent and you p. much have what you're talking about

over the long weekend someone posted one of those Samsung photo frames with the "mini monitor" feature for $20 so I snagged it. I fuckin love these things. it's usb powered and the screen is updated by jamming a control code and a raw JPEG file down a usb character device. with a little fuckery I've been able to wrap it as a dummy SDL output and pull about 15fps on it which is about perfect for the animated weather display I'm building.

here's some basic poo poo I've done with the yahoo weather data:



yahoo is a piece of poo poo though, their api is some janky sql wannabe and they don't provide hourly reports. played around a bit last night with forecast.io which seems to be way more solid and will be my next fuckery

have you tried openweathermap?

So I'm thinking about doing an idiot spare time project that tracks the airplane noise in my neighborhood.

I wanna get the cheapest possible decibel meter that will hold up to scrutiny (I don't wanna do a bunch of work and have the evidence discredited because its from some cheapo software solution with a computer mic). Ideally the decibel meter would be powered via the mains and have some kind of serial output so I can connect an arduino or something.

From there I plan on uploading the data to a web server that'll use one of those airline tracking APIs to try and match up what flight it was, and also pair it with the weather from the time of the sample. I think it could be really interesting to see how weather, altitude, speed and the type of aircraft affect what it sounds like on the ground (loud and annoying).

So anyway, I know how to do all the software stuff, but can someone recommend a decibel meter that would be appropriate? I googled around but only found hand held models that didn't seem to have any way of accessing their readings beyond some extremely hacky OCR solution. Used is fine.

got an old phone?

the first project in my arduino-programming class is for the student to blink out their name in morse code using the onboard led. simple a decent introduction

this year i wrote myself a decoder that runs on a separate microcontroller, so i can just plug a wire into their board and see if they did it right by watching the serial output. the decoder automatically figures out the signal's timebase and synchronizes to it, which i'm pretty proud of

anyway here are the first couple

how do i read resistor bands?



i need to replace this little guy. how do you know which side to read from? i think the colors on this are brown, green, yellow, gray. or are they gray, yellow, green, brown. so either a 150k ohm or 8.4M ohm?

i bought a raspberry pi a few weeks ago to set up pi-hole and finally got around to doing it today. i didn't realize they didn't come with an operating system installed so i had to use an old phone and crappy android app to flash a micro sd with an installer. none of the images on the app would work so i had to let the installer download the OS, which took a while. then i set up vnc on it so i can just leave it plugged in next to my router and remote into it if i want to dick around. it took way longer to get this all set up than starting pi-hole itself. that was pretty much click button, block ads.



seems to be working ok. nice to block the ads in my apps.
