Turning a lamp on and off with an arduino uno and a relay break-out board. I will post more about this later.
001 – Lunch with Mick and RedBeard
Warning – This show contains some darker material that isn’t family friendly
This is a different kind of show, and something to listen to while in between episodes. We talk all kinds of things, Superman, Daredevil TV, Avengers Age of Ultron, Interstellar, physics, depressing subjects and more…Don’t worry, no facts were harmed in the making of this episode, or checked either.

My DIY E-Cig Was on HackADay
A while back I posted a DIY Variable Voltage E-Cig how-to on Instructables.com and it eventually got picked up on HackADay.com here. I look at articles that make their way to HackADay as successes so when I found out that mine had made it I got excited and nerded out.
Since then I have taken feedback from readers and updated the schematics to be more efficient and longer lasting. I have plans to one day publish an Arduino based variable voltage and wattage version with display that will fire sub-ohm coils.
Chickens! Part 4
Day 28
So we needed a way to protect the chickens and rabbits from other animals. The plan was to create a border around the fence with chicken wire. This will prevent the rabbits from digging out and other animals from digging in.
I picked up some tent stakes yesterday from Harbor Freight for about $2 a pack and some chicken wire from Tractor Supply a little while ago. Today we got out and installed it, below is the result. Also from Harbor Freight is a 10’x12′ net I got for $30 with a 20% off coupon to cover the top of the kennel to prevent hawks from getting in.
Next step is to build the hanging cages for the rabbits.
Chickens! Part 3
Day 24
They grow fast! The chicken box & top is working out great. It won’t be long before they go out to the pen.
Chickens! Part 2
Day 9
Chickens we’re getting too big for the box so we upgraded to larger rubber tub. They quickly found their way out this one too so I had to come up with a way to contain them. This is just a temporary measure until all of the winter weather has pushed out and the kennel is fully setup.
I cut the middle of the lid out and sandwiched chicken wire between 2 sets of 2 1×4’s then screwed them together.
Chickens! Part 1
Picked up 6 chickens on the 14th. These are 2 variations of the Cochin breed.
Day 1
Day 4
MrsRedBeard came up with the idea to use my mic stand to hold the heat lamp so that the height can be adjusted.
Ep06 – Superman 37 (New52) – The Men of Tomorrow Chapter 6
I’m covering New 52 Superman #37 – Part 6 of “The Men of Tomorrow”! We’re nearing the end of this crazy story, and wondering how OUR Man of Tomorrow saves the day.
I’ve got a new Mini-Segment debuting in this episode, I can’t wait to see how it is received…
