Los diez mandamientos del buen soldador de electronicos

"The Ten Commandments" For Electronic Soldering
(A COOPERTools Reprint)

Thou shall not remove tip from soldering iron when power is "On". Causes heating element to rise in temperature to approximately 1300 F resulting in thermal shock and reduced heater life.   Thou shall maintain a damp (NOT drenched) iron sponge (preferably with de-ionized water). A drenched sponge will bring the temperature of the tip down too drastically, causing thermal shock and reduced tip life.   Thou shall not disconnect soldering iron from base unit when power is turned "On". Disconnecting or reconnecting the soldering tool from the base unit with power applied may cause a short between non-compatible pins resulting in damage to the base unit or pencil.   Thou shall maintain a coating of solder on working area of soldering iron tip. Protects the tip from oxidation.   Thou shall never drop soldering iron while heated. Dropping the soldering tool while heated may cause thermal/mechanical shock to the heater, sensor, or tip (fractured plating).   Thou shall not throw soldering iron into soldering tool stand. See Commandment V.   Never use soldering iron as a crowbar or pry tool. Could chip or pit finish on tip rendering it useless.   Using sharp or serrated objects to remove tip from soldering iron is forbidden. See Commandment VII.   Honor thy "KGB" (Known Good Base). Do not plug a non-working soldering iron into a KGB. Could cause damage to the base.   Thou shall turn station down to lowest setting during daily usage when not being used. Turning the station down during non use periods will prevent severe thermal cycling of the tool. However, tools not being used for extended periods of time should not be left on indefinitely. Make

Muy interesantes proyectos y mas aún muy buena documentación

Desearía que yo documentara mis proyectos así, pero por lo que he visto nadie en mi Universidad lo hace. Creo que en mis siguientes proyectos seguiré el esquema que manejan, aunque parece más trabajo, creo que valdrá la pena intentarlo. Revisar.

Un interesante artículo sobre marketing

A pesar de que odio las "ciencias" económico administrativas, este artículo en particular me parece muy interesante por el acercamiento que toma con respecto al movimiento DIY y otras linduras.

1. Browse Innovative Millennial-Created & Supported Sites: Millennials are inherently aligned with technology. Intimacy with the digital world is one of the greatest strengths of their generation. Never having known a world without digital technology, Millennials are the first “digital natives” and experience the world in a completely different way than previous generations. They recognize the power and importance of social networks and utilize the Internet as a trusted information source and a platform for self-expression. In the eyes of the Millennials, personal online networks hold as much importance and authority as any conventional media channel.
2. Experience the DIY Movement: Millennials are masters of customization and self-expression. Encouraged to express their opinions from the time they were children, Millennials are highly vocal about their needs and desires. They see themselves as co-creators and shop independent artists and sellers on Etsy.com. See for yourself, take a hip craft/sewing class at an urban sewing shop; read MAKE magazine and attend one of their events. For Millennials, everything is about “real” and “reality” and their knowledge and information empowers them.
3. Shop at Millennial-Approved Retailers: Overrun with choice, suspicious and non-responsive to advertising, Millennials see brands as their own. Irreverent, ironic duds (http://www.bustedtees.com), user-created limited-edition shirts for the masses (http://www.threadless.com), and simple, and ethically-produced pieces (American Apparel) speak louder for Millennials than any “branded” tee or top. Transparency and building smaller brands are key for earning the trust of Millennials. Marketers should build marketing programs whose goals are more short-term and cyclical in nature and plan for shorter product life cycles.
4. Eat Like a Millennial: As master re-mixers, Millennials use grocery retail as a reimagined food court, sampling a variety of flavors and brands daily. Brand is much less important than categorical ethnic flavors. Millennials turn to “real” food over more processed snacks and ditch the Lean Pocket and head to the streets (for delectable street food, that is). To Millennials, snacking is all about experimentation. They are ironically playful in their snack selections, resulting in impulsive purchases from limited-release flavor combinations (Doritos Mystery Flavor) to global flavor profiles (Thai chili and kaffir lime). Millennials will continue to seek esoteric global taste profiles and will tire quickly of mundane or outdated menu options.
5. See What Other Brands have Done to Win the Millennials’ Trust: In the end, it’s not about the brand itself. Brands must reinvent themselves in innovative ways to gain attention from Millennials like Target with its limited-edition clothing runs. Millennials are also attracted by brands like H&M offering cheap duds by exceptional designers at classic never-fail prices. Millennials are a brand-averse generation that is resistant to most conventional forms of marketing. We see these developments as part of a longer-term trajectory of cultural change which holds that consumers are increasingly brand-averse and skeptical to conventional forms of marketing. Conventional marketing as we know it must transform itself—perhaps quite radically—if it wishes to prove effective in the years to come.
