I recently moved to the US from Australia and made my first snowman, ever. Did I do it right?

Alba the Galga
“Dear Cuteologists, As the superstorm “Xaver” had Europe in its grip, I took this photo of Alba, the galga, huddled in my down-jacket. (Yes, that’s me in the background laughing my butt off) …”
And so with that, we have the most forlorn puppy pupae that ever pupated as a puppy in a toasted marshmallow monster cocoon!
“Cheers from Hamburg, Germany.” -Janne.

Reverse Engineering an LCD Display
The current marketplace allows hobbyists to easily find inexpensive, well-documented displays, but what if you wanted to interface with something more complicated, such as the screen on an iPod Nano 6? [Mike] has given us a detailed and insightful video showing his process for reverse engineering a device with little-to-no documentation. Here he covers the initial investigation, where one scours the web in search of any available information. In [Mike's] example, the display uses an MIPI D-PHY interface, which he has never worked with. He learns that the MIPI Alliance will provide design specs in exchange for a signed NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and a modest $8000 fee. Nice.
[Mike] shows off some serious hardware hackery, tackling some extremely difficult soldering in order to set up a proper test platform. He then demonstrates how to use a rather awesome oscilloscope to better understand the display protocol. We found it fascinating to see the video signals displayed as waveforms, especially when he shows how it is possible to count the individual binary values. The amount of information he uncovers with the oscilloscope is nothing short of amazing, proving these little devices are more complex than they seem.
