Itty Bitty Micro Dusting Kit, 8 Piece Tool Kit with Adapter


I
f you have ever tried to clean a motherboard with a standard vac and it's attachments you will truly appreciate this little kit.
  The adapter worked just fine on my Dirt Devil.  The itty bitty little crevice tool was small enough to go between the vanes on the cpu fan.   The heat sink is often where dust collects and normally all you can do is blow out the dirt which  generally means you are just pushing it elsewhere in your computer case.  There are two sizes of brushes and they too are ideal for cleaning in tight computer spaces.   This is a handy little item and after 25 years in the micro computer business I learned that dirt is a great insulator and dirt on your computer parts can dramatically increase the operating temperature of your computer.  This little kit allows you to get  into those hard to reach spaces and pull the dirt out rather than just blowing it around. 

Digression:Never use your laptop (a true misnomer) on a soft surface as that too will increase the operating temperature if it can't circulate air.  This isn't as much of an issue with newer equipment but was a major issue in the past.   If possible use your laptop on a cooling surface, that will prolong it's life. 


·                        Pet for small spaces in your home, office and car
·                        8 pieces allows for reach into tight spaces
·                        Fits most vacuum brands
·                        Adapter included

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase,

3D Printing—Way, Way Cool

You may not be familiar with the term 3D printing but I bet you remember the replicator from Star Trek. Well kiddies, it is no longer just science fiction. Replication exists! Analog Science Fiction and Fact had a great article in the November 2008 edition called: “The 3D Train Wreck”. Thomas A. Easton, the author gave a great overview of the future of 3D printing. Simplistically, take your 3 dimensional CAD drawing and print it out on a laser printer that will print layers with some type of raw material. Each layer is adhered to the previous layer until you have a full three dimensional finished product. There are a variety of existing technologies that are doing this right now. Rapid-prototyping in industry is the biggest market right at the moment. Consider how incredibly convenient it would be to fabricate or replicate things right at home. My Polaris pool sweep needed a part yesterday. The part is unavailable, without the part the sweep doesn’t work. The alternative was to buy a
