EEVblog – The Electrical Engineering Video Blog Podcast

David L. Jones, maker of, among many other things, the awesome uWatch, is producing a really cool Electrical Engineering-themed video blog/podcast called ‘EEVblog‘.  I don’t why it took me this long to realize what an informative and hilarious video podcast this is, but a couple recent episodes really sucked me in.  I am now a huge fan.

David’s blog actually sprang to life in April of this year, so if you want to watch all of the episodes you have some catching up to do.  However, some of the most hilarious episodes are also the most recent.  For example, here is David’s very honest review of the Microchip PICkit 3, a development tool for Microchip PIC microcontrollers:

And here is Microchip’s equally hilarious response:

David’s blog has covered a lot of other cool topics, such as exploding capacitors, equipment teardowns, and microcontroller datasheets.  Check EEVblog out!

News: Now Blogging @ Make:SF

Last week I started blogging over at Make:SF, home of the unofficial San Francisco Make: fanclub.

Expect to see me posting over there occasionally about events, meeting recaps, and other goings-on.

As resident WordPress guru I’ve also been making some tweaks to the site to make it better serve club members.

Make:SF typically meets at TechShop in Menlo Park on the 1st Sunday of the month, and recently has also been meeting at Instructables HQ in San Francisco on the 2nd Tuesday.

Some interesting electronics/microcontroller/hacker themed blogs I’m reading these days:

And some new (to me) blogs:

That’s it for now.  If I missed any good ones, I’d love to hear about them, leave a comment or contact me.  You can access all of the blogs I mentioned (and a couple more) from the blogroll to the right.
