Toyota regularly puts buttons in cars that quite literally do not make any sense at all. I spent a few years of my career leading the User Experience Team for a large retail company. I have to tell you. Toyota designs and builds a fantastic truck. In fact, I think it might make the best trucks […]
A few years ago when we decided to build a new home, we hired an architect to draw up custom plans for our home based on some variations of homes we had seen and toured. We found he already had designed a home that was very close to what we wanted, but we needed to […]
A set of digital calipers are just about mandatory for any workshop. Even a small shop or just someone who is a tinkerer is going to want a set. Digital calipers can be had in several variations, but the most common style is known as Vernier Calipers. Before they were digital, vernier calipers either had […]
I recently won the Halloween Contest over at the Instructables website for my Brain of Morbius movie prop. The awesome team over at Fright Props mailed me a prize that included a pneumatic piston, a pneumatic relay, a Pico Boo micro controller, and some other neat stuff. At first I had no idea what I […]

Recycling is a good thing. It’s good for the environment by keeping our landfills filled with waste rather than something that can be reused; and it saves another tree from being cut down although that’s not as important since out forests are now mostly sustainable. It’s good for us humans because it saves money, rather […]
Support the Geek Pub I’ve resisted for some time adding Patreon to my site and videos. I’ve always felt like there were plenty of other ways for users to support The Geek Pub, and Patreon just wasn’t necessary. Yet I still get asked from time to time why I don’t have one. This last weekend, […]
Alphabet Blocks on the CNC After my Man vs. CNC project I got a lot of questions about me being “anti-CNC”. That led to me making the most recent Pub Talk entitled CNC Fail. A lot of people really thought I had become a CNC hater. And well, as you know that’s absolutely not the […]
