Breaking Bad
It’s the classic question of “Does the end justify the means?”
This is the TV series that my wife and I have been hooked on for the last couple of weeks. It is a story about a high school chemistry teacher who, once he is diagnosed with cancer, decides to do whatever necessary to provide for his disabled son, his pregnant wife, and their unborn child.
Taking the skills he has, he partners up with a former student to manufacture and sell meth.
As predicted, he soon finds himself, his family, and his marriage in danger and numerous twists and turns are sprinkled throughout the series.
There are currently 3 seasons available for watching on Netflix. My understanding is 4 episodes have aired with a 5th in the works.

What is happening, Peoples?
Hey, it’s been a while since my last post here. Warning: Prepare for a ramble…
I noticed my LinkedIn page references this site so, oops, figured I better make an update. :)
I’ve been pretty busy with work during the day and my evenings have been filled with some of the other web and electronics projects I have going on. I haven’t been staying on top of the “math problem of the day” due to competing priorities. But, on that note, there are more math challenges (geared for kids, btw) posted on techDIY.tv (don’t ask me why – that needs to move).
I have completed the conversion of michaelwittmer.com over to TechDIY.tv – my new site for electronics noobies.
My local music co-writer called me tonight and wants to resume rehearsal/recording sessions so I expect that will take some of my free time as well. Bummer…but more so, COOOOL!
Fortunately, I do have a little time to knock out some loose items since I’m waiting on some product to arrive via snail-mail…And, on techDIY.tv, I’ve been doing a decent job of making daily entries to track my progress. I’ve never been much for journaling (seems “girly” – sorry ladies), but this process of writing down all the items completed and listing the goals for the next couple of days is really working out nicely now that I’m finding myself so busy. Its hard to sit on the couch and watch the entire American Idol episode when you know you have 10 things on your list….
Moving on….I’m thinking of getting a quadcopter. I think it would be fun, the kids would enjoy it, and I could document the build process on TechDIY.tv. I’m looking at something like this. But then, we still haven’t built and launched the rockets I bought…one memory at a time. :)
I’m also thinking of building my own Nitrogen Phosphorous detector for an invention I have in mind. This looks interesting (sorry I have better links I should have used but I’m tired) and pretty doable, but the cheapest cesium bead I’ve found is like $600. That’s not going to fly by the boss.
I spent a few minutes with my 9 year old son today explaining (with my limited ability) how a BCD to Seven Segment Driver works and he almost got it. He seemed to pick up how binary works immediately and as I quizzed him as we moved along, he answered all of my questions correctly. At the risk of sounding like a “Proud Papa,” I think this kid is going to be a genius….he’s crazy smart but doesn’t realize it.
At any rate, to the billions of fans reading these final lines….I hope my promise of a ramble did not fail to disappoint. It is, after all, what I aimed for. Thank you for reading. Please, go forth now and multiply (using both fingers and toes).
Peace,
Mike
