Old School Tech has posted a new article about a little scare we had with our freezer this morning. Although it turned out that this was just a simple thermodynamic misunderstanding, it does help highlight some of the issues involved with debugging appliances.
Old School Tech has released a new article, this time on solar wiring, connectors and tools. Although this is the final article in the hurricane ground solar series, it isn’t our last article on solar. This past week, we interviewed a system designer at Iron Edison about their nickel iron and lithium iron phosphate batteries; […]
In the past week or so, Leech City has had a few updates. The most important of these is the satirical description of a theft of a log (yes, some people will steal anything). We’re still letting that one work its magic on the local criminal psyche. In the meantime, we think that how that […]
Old School Tech has released a new article in its ground solar series, this time about the batteries.

The Hammonds were subsequently released from prison after serving their original sentences. However, they were then re-sentenced, and re-imprisoned, under the justification that the original sentences were less than mandatory minimum sentences. I […]
Leech City has just posted an article detailing various tools used to monitor and hold local public officials responsible for their misconduct. Also, our yardsigns are in! Let’s see how long it takes the city to pass an emergency ordinance to ban these signs.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I have an amazing family, and a great wife who has been by my side for more than three decades. Many of our brethren are not so fortunate.
