With all the new content for download and the ability to copy games to the hard drive, 20GB just would not cut it. So I decided to invest in an upgrade. I like to do a lot of research into things before I just jump in, especially expensive purchases.
A retail 120GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 cost around 130$. That seems somewhat expensive to me since I can get a 1TB hard drive for that much. I did some searching and finally found an answer I could live with.

I searched all over for a small notepad I could keep in my pocket. I am an IT geek, so I do have a smart phone. However, there are times when it is not readily available (like now because it’s being modded and currently down for maintenance). Also, it’s just so much fun to actually mark things off a list!
My searches for a pocket-size notepad failed. Either they were not small enough or they were too expensive. That’s when I decided to make my own.

I have my youngest son to thank for this Instructable. He wanted S’mores, but didn’t want the marshmallows put in the microwave. He wanted authentic, toasted-on-an-open-flame S’mores.
When I told him that I did not really want to fire up the grill just to make a couple S’mores, he suggested a mini grill. BRILLIANT!

Currently, I am lugging around my USB to Serial cable (since my laptop does not have a serial port), a Cisco console cable, and a null modem cable (for older switches and other equipment). When I work on older equipment, I have to unplug my Cisco console cable, find my null modem cable, and then plug all of that in.
Wouldn’t it be easier if I had an adapter that I could carry around instead of switching cables? Or better yet; maybe I could make a bunch of these cables and keep them plugged into what few older switches we have left.
I know there are probably adapters out there already, but I did not want to purchase anything. I figured making one would be easy enough. Especially since I had about a billion console cables in a box from all the Cisco stuff we ordered (better to reuse than hitting the trash can). So I grabbed the parts and headed to my workbench.
