Richard sneaking a read of a book recommend by fordsfords
Last week fordsfords shared with us the very cool the Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, which I hope Richard will let me borrow this weekend.
This week’s links worth checking out come from three wildly different sites. Covering circuit bending, some deep thoughts about devices and how we interact with them, and a classic teardown of an old card sorting machine. It’s quite an eclectic mix.
It’s almost time for the weekend, which means another installment of the NTC favorite links of the week. Some of the selections for this week were published a while back, but they’re so good, we’re including them anyway. If you see any great links in your weekend of leisure, share them with us in the forums or tweet at us.

Imagine a group of people whose job it is to back-up the entire internet. You’ve just conjured the day job of an Internet Archive employee.
C.H.I.P. smothered in Queso DIP Photograph by JKW
C.H.I.P.ster Kolja Windeler (JKW on the forums) built an accessory board called Queso DIP that’s basically like attaching a powered USB hub directly to C.H.I.P.
The Queso DIP connects directly to C.H.I.P.’s header pins and provides 4 additional USB ports, plus it can power attached USB device and C.H.I.P.. This means you can plug-in anything from a webcam to USB hard drive and the Queso DIP will take care of the power management.

Now that the weekend is almost here, it’s a great time to catch up on the interesting stories you may have missed during the work week. These are some of the most interesting links we’ve shared around the NTC office this week.
