Review: Klein Non-Contact Voltage Tester
I'm not much of a tool person, but have my collection of tools and occasionally pick up something that looks like it could be useful. After one of my last projects doing electrical work, I picked up a Klein Non-Contact Voltage Tester
from Home Depot. The concept is pretty simple, turn it on, wave it near a wire, electrical outlet, light switch, etc. and it will beep if there is electricity flowing. I've used it a few times mainly just to see how cool it is.

Finding the right earbuds
I've used the earbuds that came with the iPods, iPhone, etc. for a long time and have been generally pleased with them. However, they just aren't very reliable. I got one pair replaced in June because one side failed. This was a pair that I just used for phone calls and occasionally listening to music. I didn't mistreat them, they just stopped working.

Hell has frozen over
Earlier this year, a friend of mine that I've known for over 15 years told me that he bought an iPad. Normally I'd think nothing of it, but this friend has been writing Windows code (Windows desktop, mobile, embedded) for a long time and never came close to a Mac or Apple products. Then in October, he told me he got an iPhone 4S after liking his iPad. Oh no, what was next?

Are you my neighbor?
When I went to walk my dog this evening, I found a present at the end of my driveway.
