Posted on May 5, 2013 by Alison in Alison, Time Saving Tips

I have recently attempted to make my own solar panels.  This seemed like a fun project (I love soldering) that would at the same time produce something useful.  There are several various electronic devices around the house that would be nice to power on solar energy, plus a solar panel could prove handy if we […]

Who am I?

Thomas Loughlin

Just a guy that likes playing with new things on the internet. Graduated with a degree in Bioinformatics from Baylor University but most of my time is spent in the Financial industry.
