The most important feature of ANY blog or website is the font.  These fonts can make or break what the viewer perceives.

High Volume Low Pressure-HVLP

High Volume Low Pressure is a term that I learned back in 1970's.  This was first used on a large scale in "industrial ventilation" designs.  They used this basic principle in an effect to save energy. Local Exhaust Ventilation to save energy when gasoline was $ 0.25 per gallon. 

HVLP technology is now used in spray guns used for finishing wood.

Arduino Video Training

I am a "BIG" supporter of the Arduino Board.  If you don't know what a Arduino Board is, in a nutshell it is prototyping board for anyone to 'build' electronic circuits.  Here is an excellent tutorial on how to get 'started' building your FIRST circuit, using a red LED (light emitting diode), a resistor, and a simple push button switch.
