I had a chance to review the 13.56MHz RFID field detector from Montie Gear and I have to say, I like this detector. It’s very thin, somewhat flexible, and is the size of a credit card so it fits in my wallet.

While this book has plenty of that, it also has some topics that I didn’t expect. Here are a […]

Since content on the Internet has grown to the point where it now has all the answers, you’d think a book like 101 things you should know how to do wouldn’t have any place on a bookshelf anymore… and it doesn’t. This book belongs on the coffee table or in the bathroom, where it’s a […]
