Make the 9V battery one of those 10 year lithiums and you have a great blackout / hurricane / disaster of the week emergency chargers for a lonnng time.

Or you can just solder it correctly the first time. Then the picker sucker battle doesn't matter.. Or you could be all fancy and get one of those suckers that has a vacuum and a hot tip that you set down over the wire to heat the solder and suck it up.. that would work too..

Well that's when you "accidentally" slip and poke him in the eye area with the hot arse soldering iron.

I loved my high school electronics class. Though half the time, I had some jerk over my shoulder triple checking that the girl did it right.

Pickers and suckers, I know what you mean.

"soldering is easy." Yes it is, I was doing it in Highschool. Electronics class was one of my favorites. I don't know if I'll be doing this anytime soon, but I would like to give it a try to see if I could. I think I still have my soldering iron in the closet at home... now if only I have solder too. That might be the real question. I suggest to newbs to buy a solder picker not a sucker. I always melted those things. The picker is the metal like strip that you place near the solder that would pick it up instead of sucking it.

I think that I have all the pieces lying around at my house actually.. Including all the pieces needed to make a voltage regulator.. Just a few resistors and a mux.

And they are probably the only female thing you have around... Sad but true.. In most cases.

I'm going directly to "The Shack" after this. Yes, I do believe I'll head down to "The Shack" in a minute. You know, a trip to "The Shack" is in order here. Anyone want to accompany me to "The Shack"? Evan?

The Shack is "Da Shack"! And you didn't think it could get more creepy, did you?

FYI - Even the you refuse to use "the shack" you did so in the second paragraph. On that note, I remember reading about the name change, but does anyone use it. I still call it Radio Shack, but not on principal, just because I could care less to remember to call it the shack.

This looks like a DIY that I may actually try. Seriously, if your a reader of this blog, then you probably have multiple female usb connectors around.
