Oh God, Public facing blogs O.o

So where does one even start one of these, well the whole point of this is to document my exploration with technology and to get myself into the habit of writing out a daily journal of one sort or another, as it's something I've wanted to do for a while, but have yet to do sofar. It usually ends up with me getting it a few times a week and then it dropping off as i get distracted or uninspired or just give up on it.

So we shall see how this blog ends up going, might start with doing some reviews of the tech i currently have and any mods i have made etc....

So I will get started with that as i have a pretty nice everyday carry setup If I may be so bold
But for now I am signing off

Parital Teardown / Repair of Sony MDR-XB650BT

Welcome to another edition of I broke something, SO LETS FIX IT. While on my daily adventures I had the misfortune of my headphones falling from my head and hitting the ground, the result of thus is the controller board for the headphones became loose due to a small piece of plastic breaking free, which technically meant that the controls didn't work and charging wasn't functioning. So like any good tinkerer would do......it sat on my workbench for 3 months and then i eventually got to it during coffee time one morning this week.

( as shown in the below picture. Screw holes are revealed after the earcuff is gently removed from headphones. First take out the three ...

PirateBox for portable public library/ or other offline resource sharing for AR games

For those who are unaware what a pirate box is, it is a... " DIY anonymous offline file-sharing and communications system built with free software and inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware." These little repurposed routers are lightweight systems which make a wifi network in their vecinity and offer web services such as chat and access to files / leaving files. They can be left as a deaddrop in which they stay at a location and anyone in the area has access to them, Or there are ones people keep in their bag and are only available when they are near. They are a very unique diverge in the cloud based thinking that usually follows this day and age, Instead of trying to keep everything syncing and updated all the time, these ones are updated manually by the users and as such a more personal content and localized experience. The default setup leaves you with a pocket router with a usb stick coming out the side (i usually suggest 16-32gb at least if you're wanting...
