Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill Mod

Ok, so obviously this post isn't a computer repair or an upgrade or a mod. Nope, it's a coffee mill mod. Like any good computer geek, I need me some caffeine, so this mod is related and it's IMPORTANT! I got the Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill from amazon.com. I like coffee mill just fine, but there are days where I just want my coffee and I don't want to spend the extra 5-10 minutes grinding coffee beans. I'm not saying I don't like the calming effect of manually grinding coffee beans, but you get it right, sometimes you just need coffee as soon as possible.

So how exactly do you mechanize a manual coffee mill?
  • M6 coupling nut
  • M7 1/8" thick flat washer
  • Power Drill (oh YEAH)
  • 10mm Hex Shank Nut Setter

Samsung NP-N130 Netbook Upgrade and Repair

When the netbook craze was hitting the US by storm, my parents decided to pick up a Samsung NP-N130 netbook from Costco. I gotta admit when they first got it, it was SLOW and youtube video playback was tolerable. Fast forward to today and it's just a pain. It's slow as molasses. Resolution is too low. youtube video playback is passable and far from good.
