		<description><![CDATA[I've been exploring various types of gearmotors. DC motors by themselves spin too fast and have low torque.  Gearmotors are motors with a gearbox that slows down the high speed of the motor and produces higher torque.  Most gearmotors are pretty expensive though.  I want a really cheap, almost throw-away, source [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ThingM's own Mike Kuniavsky was featured on BoingBoing today.  Woot!

Mike spent some time getting a Gyration Air Mouse to work on Mac OS X as a gestural input device.  The Gyration stuff is interesting because it's based upon a two-axis gyroscope.  It's not accelerometer-based like some of the old game console [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently obtained a ReadyNAS NV by Infrant, on the recommendation of my friend Ben Franco, who's done much research on large disk arrays. The ReadyNAS pretty much rules.  I think my long-standing storage woes may finally be over.



It's a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS) box that does RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-5, or a [...]]]></description>

And thanks to MobileWhack's P900 pages for 
providing the correct settngs to get the P900 on the Net.  It is very cool to be able to web surf, IM, and check
email anywhere I [...]]]></description>

T-Mobile will allow their phones to be unlocked after about three months of service. Just send email to simunlock@t-mobile.com with your name, phone number and IMEI number and they'll hook you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm beginning the process of switching to T-Mobile (from Cingular), because "Tmo" has very cheap all-you-can-eat data plans: from free to $19.99, depending on the level of studliness you want.

I'll be using a Sony-Ericsson P900.

There are apparently 4 different "Internet plans": 

 $0.00 - "free/unlimited internet", aka "basic WAP"
