Changes in the pipeline

Several changes will be happening to this blog in the next few months. The first is the change of name as now seen above. The old name changed when I moved on from just Arduino to Raspberry Pi as well. Now I am also taking an interest in the Cubieboard I decided that just adding the new product to the name was a board too far. So, after a moment of epiphany  yesterday evening, we now have the name of Tech That!. I won't apologize for the pun as I have loved them all my life and this was just the opportunity I was looking for to insert another one into my life. The second change should happen soon, the old icon will disappear and a new one will arrive. This is only a stopgap until I am able to think of something more suitable than a caricature of me. The third change I would like to make is a bit more fundamental, as I know that a lot of people who read this blog don't have a modern widescreen monitor. Since it's beginnings, this blog has always catered for standard screen monitors. However, with such a lot of new information available, I would like to make use of a different template in order to maximize how much can be seen without scrolling down. If you have any strong concerns about this please contact me as I would like to take this step with your agreement. 
So, to restate the obvious, this  blog now covers Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Cubieboard products and may well also take on other home and educational products as time passes. As an example, I am currently playing with EL wire and hope to be able to interface it with an Arduino in order to produce a copy of a neon sign.
As always, if you would like to contribute to this site please email me and we can work it out.
