Introduction / Bio

Hi! Name's Nathaniel Bezanson. Nate is fine, unless there's another Nate around.

Contact:

• email me: username "myself" at domain "telcodata.us"
• or by phone: NPA 248, NXX 379, suffix 3614.

Projects:

• Balloon
  • User:Nbezanson/GPS receiver testing
• Spot-welder for battery-tab welding

My work schedule is somewhat random. I'll be in town for months, then traveling for weeks or months. So, you might not see me around the space for a while, and then I'll be there every day, and then I'll be scarce again. Some of our other members work for the same company...

Professional background:

• Vehicle electronics, sensors, systems, particularly GPS/GNSS.
• Connectors, connectors, connectors.
• 2D and CNC routers, 3D CAD and CNC mills and 3D printers
• Electronic design and troubleshooting.
• DC power, whether that's +12V in cars or -48V in telco.
• In the distant past: PoS systems, barcode scanners, stuff like that.
• Even more distant: Cellular tower and MTSO equipment, provisioning.
• Prehistoric: Wireline/fiber transport networks, PDH/SONET, BITS sync.

Hobby background:

• Electronics tinkering since I could hold a screwdriver
• Have built a few barely-eye-safe LED flashlights
• Know a bit about a lot: Cars, audio, rocketry, batteries.
• Licensed as a ham, but I never get on the air under Part 97.
• Part-15 though, now that's fun. Ask me about Ricochet.
• Am apparently a fairly accomplished solderer. Love to teach.

Stuff

I own the Genie and most of the Acer 1440G Lathe. And lots of stuff in the Electronics Room.

Projects

I should document more. RecentChangesScraper ran on my desktop at home because mediawiki lacks the function internally. (Now we have #wiki-changes on Slack!)

History

Roadside toolkit

This is my scratchpad for tools and links that should be in the toolkit prepared for the Roadside Skills class.

• Tire pressure gauge
• Small compressor
• Tire patch kit (reamer, inserter, worms, rubber cement)
• Small locking pliers
• Needle-nose pliers
• Headlamp and batteries
• Gloves
• Fuse tester or multimeter
• Spare fuses
• Jumper cables

Edu talk

This is my scratchpad for topics to present at the Roeper coffee-talk on January 17th, 2013.

• We're hard-wired to hack and make
• Not doing so is a form of poverty / deprivation
  • What makes us uniquely human
    • We maintain deep and long-lasting social and romantic relationships / lonely/outcast / we put them in therapy.
    • We use complex language to express abstract thoughts / illiterate / we have remedial programs.
    • (and we enjoy doing these things, it makes us feel complete as humans)
    • Stereo vision and opposable thumbs: Modify our environment (3D) / ____ we don't have a term for this. But I feel just as bad for their emptiness. / we put them in charge.
• Minecraft as an outlet for kids who don't have 200 lbs of Lego
• Okay, so come do the real thing.
• Literacy: Books were expensive, so libraries were the community solution.
  • Cost of publishing has dropped to nearly-zero
  • So what's the next frontier?
• Hackerspaces, makerspaces, and schools
  • How to approach this?
