The DVI, Svideo, VGA and Component all have their own stereo audio jacks. The internal stereo speakers work well. The unit also has a small subwoofer built into it solid stand. As well as VESA mounting holes on the back if you choose to use them. A remote control is included, it’s not as gently used as the monitor but it works very well and includes not 1 but 2! count them, AAA batteries.

I would like to thank Remowylliams very much for donating the TV to be raffled off for the group. All money raised will go to the group.
Raffle Tickets are $10 each. You can buy a raffle ticket by seeing me in person, or by sending money via Paypal and sending me an email to let me know so I can add your tickets to the pot. We’ll be doing this raffle the same way we did the Raspberry Pi raffle at the last LAN party. The drawing will be held at the December Board meeting, you will not need to be present to win.

by on Nov.26, 2012, under Crafts, Events, Projects

After the great response we had for the last stained glass class, Rachel has decided to do two more classes in December. We’ll be creating a ~5×7 stained glass project. Participants are encouraged to bring their own Glass cutter ($5 – ebay, amazon, Hobby Lobby, etc) everything else will be provided.

We will be doing one 4 Person class as a make up to those who missed the last class on December 8th. The December 16th class will be on projects that can be done this way and it really can open the path to creativity in working with glass Sign ups are first come, first serve. If we exceed the sign ups we’ll plan another day to do this event again.

Please sign up for the classes via the following links (You do not need to have a WordPress account to sign up)

The cost for the class is $20 per person. There is a button to pay for the class on the events page in the links below.
