    Finally managed to slosh enough junk around to clear the table in the foreground and then clean off the old workbench. The last time it was out from under a quarter inch of dust you needed a t-square to produce PCB layouts (see it there). The old scope smoked out as soon as I turned it on. It smelled up the whole basement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the bread-boarding sockets had been left completely uncovered under all the dust and in the dampness for the entire time. Nonetheless, I decided to assemble &lt;a href=&quot;http://standoutpublishing.com/Blog/archives/78-True-Random-Number-Generator-Using-Only-Logic-Gates.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;bb-url&quot;&gt;a small, experimental, logic circuit&lt;/a&gt; on the old breadboards and surprisingly, the circuit worked!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, what does it mean if, while other guys are spending time and money building man-caves, you start building a maker cave?  Well, you might just be a geek my friend. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.johnrepici.com/serendipity/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png&quot; alt=&quot;:-)&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;&quot; class=&quot;emoticon&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
