I've got a lot of language projects. The latest one is a very low-cost, programmable audio player (no screen even, but lots of buttons and colored LEDs). You create non-linear, interactive materials. I was going to make another 'S

Thanks! Previously, when making materials for my own use, I used to put the paste the texts into spreadsheets, with one sentence per line/cell. It works well. This layout is only used for printed books (at the moment). Without the colo

I'm not sure why I never see NPTEL mentioned anywhere. nptel.ac.in or www.nptelvideos.in Very comprehensive video lectures for many fields of engineering, set up by Indian universities/government.

What parts of formal education is 'core to life'? Genuine question. I question the value of obligatory education at all in it's current state. What do you get for your 10+ years? The only indispensable skills gained of concre

This one, the 43", about 1.7m. So I a 50" would be about 2m away, but even more cumbersome to transport. This would give the same working area as a 25" @ 1m. The difference between focusing at 1m vs 2m is significant, it&#x27
