Hello world!
Well ok, here goes. I’m going back to school and I’ve started this new blog so I can have a place to dump all the things I’ve learned this year. Things I don’t (or do) want to forget, study guides, exam scores, links etc… Since the brain can only store so much information, I figured I am going to need somewhere for the rest of it to go!
Classes start on September 5th, and I have a lot of reading to do by then. Also on the agenda is Physics and Algebra review, as well as basic composition and grammar and sentences cause you know sometimes I write alot cause that’s just the way it comes out and Instructors aren’t going to mark you by the length of those sentences and after so long of being out of school omg I have learned a lot of bad habits and prolly will need 2 look over the way it’s sposed to be done?
For reals… this is a journey. I’m sailing away… No wait. Scratch that. Anyways, see you soon :) –J

What a week it’s been so far. What I am going to try to do is run down all of the things we talk about in the class, and review it by putting it into the blog. Sometimes things will be very structured and on topic, and sometimes someone asks a weird question and off we go.
We will be spending the year as follows.
1. Fundamentals – AC/DC
2. Discrete Semiconductors
3. Linear Electronics
4. Digital Electronics
5. Microprocessors / Microcontrollers – On this section, my Instructor explained we may spend a bit more study time on Microcontrollers, since they are getting used for a lot of applications lately.
At the end of the year, depending on how much time is remaining, we will take some time looking into specialty stuff, such as A+ (took it, certified already), Network+ (Yes! bring it on!), Home automation, and automotive applications of electronics.
If we keep moving at the pace that has been set, I doubt very much that I will have time to go back and organize these pages, but hey you never know. Either way, take it for what it is. Some scribbly notes. Laters!
I got most of the Categories created, and have a lot of the configuration done. Will be reviewing Electronics Math today and tommorrow, I think that is going to be a weak spot for me. I am also just testing out the look of comments. Cheers.
Yup, looks good.
Hey, thanks for the link to my HowTo on electronics design. Your site looks great!
Thanks Matthew, Your electronics design how-to is excellent! I hope to have a setup like yours one day. Also I noticed you take really nice pictures ;) Cheers -J
