Maverick thermistors in hand
Just got my probes in the mail and hopefully will have a chance this weekend to finish the build. Just need to stop by the local electronics store for a couple resistors and a relay and I should be all set.

Alright, another new BBQ place in NWI and I went ahead and gave it a try. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit opened last Friday (July 1, 2011) in Portage, IN and while I tried to get in that day I was unable to because of the long wait. So the wife and I waited a few days [...]
Just a heads up that I finally changed the comment system over to Disqus. Logged in this morning to see if I had any comments I had missed and had 40+ spam on the newest post. Yeah WP caught them but really don’t want to worry as much about false positives and Disqus is pretty [...]
Well there is finally a BBQ place in Valparaiso (Wagner’s isn’t BBQ, seriously.)

Well today’s email didn’t disappoint and had a nice writeup on someone’s terracotta smoker. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Smoker/ I previously had attempted this myself but the hot plate I picked [...]
So at the last #nwitweetup I got to talk with Aaron Simac who runs the really cool site NWI Quotes. This site is basically the place to go if you want to get an auto insurance quote in Northwest Indiana. As well you can even get an insurance quote for your Northwest Indiana home. Now [...]
So tonight is the next NWITweetup, so time to write about another one of the one of the cool people I have met through these awesome events. Who better to talk about then one of the guys helping to run them, Dave Woodson. While most coins have only 2 sides, the coin with Dave Woodson [...]
The most interesting thing about networking over the social medium is you really get to know some diversified people from all walks of life. And what better type of person to get to know is a lawyer. What’s crazier is that it’s a lawyer who blogs in Northwest Indiana about all things legal. The man behind the [...]
Well this article actually was written after last years new years and I never published it. So here it is. :) You always forget how much you love something till you haven’t had it for a while.
