Did a fun little project this weekend.  I’ve been looking for a solar charger for my iPhone when I got camping or on road-trips.  All the ones I found were too cumbersome to keep in my bag or too costly.  Until I found this site, Brown Dog Gadgets.  I opted for the kit so I could bust out the soldering gun and build it myself. Keep in mind I was a history major, so never done any projects dealing with electronics.  This goes into my whole ‘Fix it yourself’ mentality. Of course they sell some already made kits.  So far it works pretty great and was a fun way to kill time over the weekend.
