Face Protection

By

There's snow again in Vancouver, and the weather has been really cold the last few days. For those of you who are routinely exposed to these weather conditions, you already know the harsh effects the cold can have on you're face. Well I set out to find some suitable alternatives to exposing you're face to the cold and here are some of the more interesting items I've found.


The Beardo, is a local creation (Whistler), which retails for $39.99(CDN) +s/h and converts from a beanie/toque to full face attire. Available in Blondie, Grey, and Black, you can see more pictures of them at the end of this article.


The ColdAvenger and the Cold Avenger Expedition Balaclava (shown above) are made by Talus Outdoor Technology and take cold weather breathing to the next level. Providing thermal comfort and warmth, ease of breathing, moisture control (to keep your face dry), humidification of exhaled cold air, not really sure what all that means, but their site has got all the scientific facts, so definitely check it out if you're spending long periods of time out in the cold. While the Expedition Balaclava ($79.99 US+s/h) provides complete head coverage and warmth it's only available in black, while the regular ColdAvenger ($49.95 - $59.95US+s/h) protects only you're face, it's available in gray, pro gray, black, pro black, and hunter (camouflage).


Now for those of you who can't wait for shipping, and live near a Mountain Equipment Co-op, you can get winter headgear (including balaclava's) for men here, for woman here, and for children here.

Project: Netgear GS116

By
Truth be told, this repair was done quite some time ago and is actually part of my structured media home wiring project, which is still ongoing. This Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Gigabit Switch was part of a Craigslist lot I purchased, containing a bunch of computer equipment.  Seeing as I had no need for this switch, at the time, it just sat in my office collecting dust. Once I started my structured media home wiring project I realized the 16 port Netgear could be quite useful, but after a few unsuccessful attempts at utilizing it I realized it was DOA. Here's the situation, when this switch is plugged in, an LED will signify the unit is on and working, however whenever an Ethernet cable is inserted into any of the available jacks, there is no LED activity or connectivity. I took to the world wide web and came across a few similar situations all of which indicated that my unit probably had a bad capacitor. To verify if this was indeed the culprit behind my non functioning switch I woul
