A few good articles caught my eye and will make for some good reading this weekend.

New NTE Website

NTE Electronics has a brand new wonderful looking website that is ten times easier to navigate.

NTE is a great source for hard to find replacement semiconductors.

WTC Lights

On a extremely clear night I can see the WTC lights from my backyard. It is overcast this evening so will have to see when it gets dark out.

I thinks it's a great thing the city of New York does every year.

Sign of Comfort

Just a few photos I took with my son from a spring visit to NYC.



Double click photo to enlarge.



This cross was on display in front of a church.
It has since been moved and will be part of WTC Museum.

Radio Hacking

Here is a fun easy project I came across on the Make site for hacking the aircraft band. It seems like we all have a few of those old AM/FM transistor radios laying around the house.

This simple project instructs you how to tune in the aircraft band with just a few small adjustments.

Check out the video or Make link.
