I love Tech. Especially when it involves something radically new. New tech is always a source of great fascination for me. Technologies like blockchain currency (Cryptocoin),3D and laser printers, as well as CNC machining, are constantly evolving. I’m sure I’ll be writing on these and other topics in the future.
To me, Tech is not just limited to IT or computers. Technologies such as electroplating, gun coatings and mechanical are also a source of great DIY projects.
Many of the projects I’ll write about involve technology of some sort or another. It doesn’t seem to matter whether the project is something as mundane as changing a fuel filter on a motor or something more complex like DIY anodizing of aluminum parts I have made. Technology advancements are always improving how things are done.
Information Technology has been my bread and butter for over forty years. So it’s natural that I would have some DIY fun in this area. Although to be honest, I try to stay away from the work-related projects. That would be work, and probably not much fun.
So here is a collection of tech-related articles. I hope you enjoy them and hopefully learn something in the process!

In addition to this extremediy.org, I also run a YouTube channel (ExtremeDIY). Many of my projects are intensive in terms of time. I use a Cannon camcorder and quite often I find that the camera runs out of power. Usually, way before I am done with whatever task I happen to be doing. I came …

Burstcoin is a completely different way to mine cryptocurrency. I’ve dabbled in Cryptocurrencies over the years. Usually by mining. One thing that has always been a drain on any profitability is the amount of electricity mining consumes. Most mining is done via GPU , CPU or ASIC. All of these are huge consumers of electricity. …
Why Replace a GoPro Remote Battery? I’ve been using a GoPro hero 3 plus to make videos of some of the projects on this site. I have found that using the remote really adds a lot of value to the videos and pictures I use the GoPro for. You can turn the video on and …
You’ve bought a new ceiling fan and you’re stuck with an old standard light fixture. There are only two wires that were used to control the old light. You can wire the fan and fan light to the two wires and use the pull chains to control the fan speed and light. Alternatively, you can …
