WD5GNR rambles about microcontrollers, ham radio, electronics, the Internet, science fiction, and other oddball things.

Welcome Well, as if I don't have enough stuff on the Web,
I've decided to post an electronics-oriented "blog" to replace the defunct Al's Electronic Workshop program.
What can you expect? Who knows? My random thoughts and finds on electronics, microcontrollers, ham radio, the Internet,
and who knows what else? I've been blogging for awhile since the magazine I used to work for (New Architect) has a blog (the "daily")
that I wrote to (along with the other editors). Where else am I on the Web?
Programming and consulting Electronics
Ham Radio and PIC/CPLD/FPGA Tutorial.

Look what a tough macho hacker I am... If you miss writing assembly language you might enjoy some of these "ultra tiny" programming languages: Wierd Languages and the Random Language Page. Cool in a very geeky sort of way.

Resistor Color Codes Can't remember that resistor color code? Here's what to do. Call 1-800-555-TELL (free call, but won't accept pay phone calls). When prompted say "Extensions" and then when prompted for which extension, say "82123." A voice will ask you for each color band and will then tell you the value of the resistor. This is something I wrote for my Web Techniques column some time ago. It is the 106th most popular extension on the service. Go figure.
