[13:35] <ChinnoDog> InHisName: Looks pretty useful. I like it.
[14:12] <InHisName> ChinnoDog: I need some more jumpers for my bread boards.  are there really good priced sources that you know ?
[14:15] <brill> InHisName: adafruit.com ebay.com
[14:17] <InHisName> what search string is good for that on ebay ?  I hate reading 3000 entries found to find the 4 related to the real search.
[14:22] <brill> breadboard jumper wire male to male
[14:57] <ChinnoDog> Find an electronics store. Or go to Microcenter.
[14:58] <ChinnoDog> Microcenter is the only retail outlet I've ever been able to find mini jumpers at.

[15:37] <adom> ChinnoDog: RadioShack has a bunch of circuitry.
[15:41] <ChinnoDog> adom: They used to. Too much preassembled commercial garbage there now and not enough parts.
[15:42] <waltman> DrownedTurkey: did all that rain wash away your mutant powers?
[15:42] <ChinnoDog> Radio shack is an expensive place to buy consumer electronics and has such a limited parts collection. I don't know why anyone goes there anymore.
[15:42] <DrownedTurkey> waltman: no just got wet
[15:45] <waltman> ChinnoDog: maybe if you really need a resistor and can't wait for the order to arrive?
[15:45] <waltman> otherwise, yeah
[15:46] <ChinnoDog> Find a real electronics store?
[16:03] <waltman> There aren't many real bricks and mortar electronics stores these days.
[19:54] <InHisName> ChinnoDog: I liked a place in Winter Park Fla called -- Skycraft Electronics.  Above their building was a 'flying saucer' rotating at a tilt on a pole.   They sold surplus, used, and new electronics parts and equipment.  Like many other B&M places, they're probably gone too, now.   -- I think there was a place here like that,but the guy died back in the '90s and whole place got auctioned away.
[19:56] <ChinnoDog> :-(
[19:56] <ChinnoDog> I haven't built any electronics projects lately or I would have hunted down my local outlet.
[19:59] <ChinnoDog> Reddit says it is this place: http://www.arcade-electronics.com/
[19:59] <ChinnoDog> Looks like a store I would go to.
[19:59] <ChinnoDog> Bookmarked.
[20:23] <adom> what's that site from the guy from the podcast...

[20:31] <adom> looks like a reseller sight... :/
[22:13] <ChinnoDog> That looks like it is online only
[22:14] <ChinnoDog> adom: We should go to Arcade.
