OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects.
These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity.
We tried a clock and a musical board.
The first word I have to describe these is SMALL!
Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day.
These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours.
It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled.
At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any Radio Shack store in any mall and get these projects, but they are now out of sight and out of mind.
We wanted to make parent aware that these kits are available online and serve as important catalysts in steering careers toward engineering.
The more your kids know, the stringer they are.
We have shown a few items in STEM week and this was Mr Dog Poop's favorite because he was personal friends with Thomas Edison back when he invented electricity.
As the comedy podcast goes... there are no fibs to big to tell.
It is important to entertain in order to educate and while educating people is not the focus of the man show, we figured what not for a few days, what can it hurt?
Episode #1We finally did it, we completed one full episode. We beat the critics that said it was impossible for an old dog poop guy and his drunk friend to figure out how to stream a live show on the internet. Our first episode was about "Reviewing of a Zombie Survival Tool Kit". The kits are abundant online from mid $20's to around $50 depending on which tools are packed into the individual kit. We unpacked and tested each item to see how helpful each tool would be in a survival situation with some very nice and some completely useless. The truth is, you could never know what you might need if you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere or fall out of a plane in the Australian outback, but if you do and you have the kit with you, it could help you survive.

Preserving food for the Zombie Apocalypse with a $25 Vacuum Packer Can a $25 vacuum sealer do the job. In this episode the guys manage to show their complete incompetence in operating a kitchen vacuum sealer. They just can't make it work. Is the the machine or the operators? It turns out, it was the operators and their stubborn man attitudes in failing to read the directions. Mr Dog Poop brings out a larger commercial type sealer and shows how it is done, man style. They try to preserve some severed hands, feet etc. But it looks like these guys need some help if either is going to survive the zombie apocalypse. Unless you can survive solely by drinking beer and being stupid. Since that is not likely, these guys may be SOL. But at least you can watch their incompetence live on The Man Show Monday through Friday ...read more
