One of my office mates entrusted me with the responsibility of buying a camera as he’s going abroad tomorrow. I managed to find this “pocket dynamo” which fitted the bill perfectly and was a "bang on" his requirements. (Compact size and modest budget without much compromise on features.)
What I liked:
1) It is so compact that you can put two of them in your breast pocket. Not bigger than a pack of cigarettes and Infact weigh the same (C’mon, that was a joke but still light).
2) Powershot series have achieved cult status much like the I-pods, it is laced with the canon legendary digic-3 processor. Just leave it to Canon as they know their job best. So all you gotta do is click.
3) It has an IS (Image stabilization). Is IS really required? Well Yes and No. No if you do not want to waste couple of thousand rupees more). Most snap shooters shoot during daytime or during trips or vacations and then it doesn’t really matter. But if you want to improvise or have inclination for indoor, low light, night photography. It is a must.
4) It has whopping 8 MP. Wow! That's a cool 2 MP more than my DSLR but quite honestly, who needs that much. I will use a 5 MP even if Iam given a 24 mp camera. MP is nothing but industry way of selling new products. Canon has come up with SD750/800/850/870/900/960/1000 which are pretty much the same plus/minus few MP. Their heart (read processor/sensor) is same. So don’t fall for the Megapixel Myth.
5) Canon says it has face detection; motion detection capabilities and thus blurriness is reduced. I don't know what it means but Iam positive if they claim it that must be the case. Perhaps that explains below neat street sample shots.
6) It has a cool looking lithium ion battery. These are so reliable and easy to use. I hate camera that use AA cells, AA cells die on you after every 50th shot. Canon batteries at least last 200 shots (Minus the flash)
7) Last but certainly not the least PRICE– At US$205 (Should be about Rs. 10000 approx in grey), it is a no brainer.
What I didn’t care for:
1) Lack of manual controls: - Now c’mon you can’t get a Ferrari for this amount. Infact there is a stripped down manual control option too.
2) You can’t switch modes using jog dial, which is a certain disadvantage as you have to go to menu everytime and do it from there. A little cumbersome for guys, for whom, this camera is intended.
3) I found some images overexposed but I may be wrong as I didn't use it extensively..
Conclusion- A great camera. If you need one that you can carry just about anywhere, this is the one. You wouldn’t regret it. But if you want a better deal. Grab a Canon SD750. (Price- USD$165/Rs 6900 INR). Canon SD750 is the best value for money (Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it anywhere in Bangalore.)
If you’ve made it to this far, Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoyed it :-) Read my Nikon D40 quick review here.
I considered replacing the caps, but those were all in really good condition. Probably should have anyway. At least those are very easy to get to should I decide to do it in the future.
Innards of an old piece of electronic gear, part of that same stash of electronics in an old factory.
There was no bird crap on this, probably because it was on a middle shelf, but the lone feather made its way onto the tubes anyway.

Arguably the most intricate and beautiful of the collection, this piece had an immaculate layout.
It's also huge, physically, at nearly 100 in. on each side.
Wrapped around this cardiac balloon catheter are temperature and EKG sensors and LEDs. The wires are stretchable coils.
It is manufactured with a lift-off MEMS process. The etched silicon is then stretched and attached to a polymer backing. Silicon usage is minimized over the substrate and the ensemble is quite flexible, to survive inflation and deflation of the balloon.
I got this board because I needed a development platform for one of my microcontrollers. At the same time, I ordered an Atmel AVR ISP MkII programmer, which I wanted to use because it is a native USB device and is a little easier to use on the Mac. Of course, it turns out that the programmer has a different type of ISP connector than this board was expecting.
So, this is a Olimex development board for Atmel AVR 20-pin microcontrollers, modified it to accept input from the AVR ISP MkII, which has a six-pin output connector. The header that I added is at the bottom of the board.
Read more about getting started programming the AVR on the Mac here.

Hewlett Packard 27 & 27S calculators. The 27 was produced between 1976 and 1978 and was HP's first 'do everything' calculator - it was capable of business and scientific functions.
The HP27S was released in 1987 and lasted to the early 1990's. It was HP's attempt at a modern take of the original HP27.

it's tetris, in an altoids tin!
inside is an Arduino chip on a custom pcb that connects it to this LCD ($1 from sparkfun, talks over SPI) and four buttons. rotation works properly, collision detection seems to work fine, etc.
the eagle files are on randomskk.net/projects/arduino_tetris while the code is on github.com/randomskk/arduino_tetris (note that it's designed to be compiled from a makefile but you can strip out the WProgram and main() function at the end to make it compile from the arduino IDE)

The Silvertone 1205 (made by Arvin Industries in the U.S.A.) is too large to be considered a shirtpocket radio yet too small to be considered a coatpocket radio. Nonetheless, it is well made, sounds great and is an attractive set.
The 1205 features a lot of chrome trim, a reverse painted dial area with a spinning atom and a kick stand for support.
Silvertone was the brand name for electronics sold through the Sears department store.
Bits and bobs
Pictures taken during exercising my hobby (electronics) and building/disassembling amplifiers and/or upgrading a record player tonearm and pre-amplifier. Anyway, a text was needed, to describe this lot, and here it is (the text and the lot, enjoy the pictures :)).

This is my most "damaged" camera, because of that dang scratch there, but I like it nonetheless. This camera has a selenium cell powered meter located on the top plate, which is different from the rest of my collection. It was made in about 1958 by Balda of Bünde in West Germany. I've done research on this camera and apparently that scratch is common among these cameras. I wish I had film for it. I got this camera at my same faithful photo shop in the flea market, only $5 :)
edit: I can't wait to use this once I can finally go get some film for it! :)
So after a lot of experimentation here is the setup I have settled on for the portal turret. The breadboards are only for the prototype stage and won't be part of the final setup. The turret has a small motion sensor in the lower part of the picture that is connect to the arduino. Every time motion is detected the setup randomly plays one of 17 audio clips through the sound board(the red one). The sound module in turn is connected to a small speaker that has surprisingly good sound quality for 4 dollars. I really wanted to make sure tracks were not repeated too frequently so the system randomly shuffles the 17 tracks and then plays 1 track each time motion is detected. After all 17 tracks are played, the system reshuffles the list again. As an added bonus there will be a small button on the turret that when pressed will play the portal theme song. The system will have the ability to be powered by either the internal battery source or with the flip of a button, be plugged into the wall with an adapter so it can be left on without worry of constantly needing to change batteries. The only other piece not featured which I will post images of soon is the eyeball. The 4 LEDs on the left are part of the eye and glow bright red.
I use these to tune my 120 ft 80 meter dipole fed with #14 400 ohm ladder line on all bands (80 thru 6 meters). The MFJ antenna tuner on the bottom actually has more matching range or capability but the Johnson is a balanced type tuner and is more efficient with using the balanced feed and antenna system. The Johnson T/R switch (model 250-39) is basically an electronic relay used to provide antenna for the the vintage receivers.
