Not long ago, I published a review of an NTP-synchronized clock and mentioned that I’d ordered another one, a cheaper model that also supports synchronization. Well, it’s arrived, spent the requisite time sitting around while I waited to review it, and now I can show it to you :)

A while ago, I came across a review of a clock that synchronizes via NTP. Since I’m generally fond of clocks, I couldn’t resist and ordered one for myself. I actually ordered it from a different store, where it was a little cheaper, but that doesn’t really matter here, since they’re identical.

Not too long ago, I was reworking an electronic load and rediscovered plastic fasteners—or, more specifically, plastic standoffs for mounting circuit boards. Of course, you can use them to mount more than just circuit boards, but in my case, circuit boards are what I run into most often. So today I have a quick look at a set of plastic standoffs for M3 screws.

3D pens have been gaining popularity lately, but quite a lot of people still have only a vague idea of what they are and what they’re for.
