Hey NJ, you maybe seeing more fines with E-ZPass
Xerox is taking over NJ’s E-ZPass violation issues. Which means drivers maybe seeing more fines soon as Xerox will be more likely to try and catch you. http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/business/article/Xerox-to-handle-E-ZPass-violations-6880466.php

Xerox scanners can translate doc’s for you…at a cost
Xerox can now let you scan in a doc, and it will translate it for you. Oh they have an app that will do it too. For…$10 for a 100 pages. I think google translate (app) can do this already … Continue reading

Print out a simple key holder paracord gizmo
Interesting gizmo. The 3D printed part acts as a sleeve for a key, and can be wrapped with paracord. Why? Well good stuff to have in an emergency (kindof like duct tape). http://www.instructables.com/id/Paracord-3D-Printed-Key-Protector/

Hey look, Xerox is on on the tax scams like everyone else
Just goes to show how creative accounting can be. Xerox posted no earnings for 2014, so they have no taxes to pay (actually negative earnings). So….if that was real, why did all the exec’s get nice big bonuses? http://www.whec.com/news/xerox-named-list-companies-paid-no-income-tax/4069609/

Build a portable, adjustable Power Supply
I wasn’t even thinking about the portable bit of this build. This is a nice simple adjustable power supply build with a readout for about …say $25 in parts on the high end. http://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-Adjustable-Mini-Powersupply/
Make a simple, cheap Aeroponic system
OK I like this build. Get a free bucket, a cheap water fountain pump ($10), one of those misters, and those plant holder things with rocks, and nice simple grow bucket. http://www.instructables.com/id/5-Gallon-Bucket-Aeroponic-Plant-Cutting-Propagator/
Make your own solderless magnetic connectors
Nifty build. Me…I think I will just solder on the wires to a connector. Still if I wanted to make a custom connector, maybe put an LED inside it for feedback…this would be the way to go. http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-DIY-Magnetic-JackPlug-for-Any-Purpose-No-/

Viper, now Zerynth,is Python for Embedded
I stumbled on this by accident. Apparently Zerynth/Viper is an embedded systems, well IoT oriented, version of Python. I don’t know much more on it but I am bookmarking it for future looksee. Viper, the Python IoT Development Suite, is … Continue reading
