Anyone got some good reading to recommend? Prefer free (especially Free) and online.

As a young protogeek in the early 80s I did get with programming and such, but never got into the soldering and dealing with voltages, amps, circuit load, circuits themselves, converters, inverters, alternators, generators, etc. If pressed and heavily sedated, I may even remember the basic logic circuits from what we called Microarchaeology - computer hardware that was state of the art for home users in the mid and late 80s, which was kinda irrelevant in the days of the original MMX and Pro cpus.

So now I think I want to start trying to learn some of this stuff and work with it with my kids... or at least help make some future science fair a little more geeky.

Thanks!
