GeekDad Anniversary!

It is the GeekDad's second anniversary and while rummaging through some of their old posts I came across their Deconstructing Music post from August of 2007. There are some cool pictures and comments on the deconstructing of an old piano that had outlived it's usefulness. WREXing an old dilapidated piano is high on our list here at WREXLabs. It would make an awesome video, don't you think!

Anyway, check out the post and also check out the rest of GeekDad. It is a great site and one we visit almost every day!

Capacitor extravaganza!

MAKE: has a great post on capacitors with a couple of very funny yet informative videos that include the WREXing of a number of caps*!

*Thats street lingo for capacitors. At least thats what they say in the video.
