Johndoc and I are in Nashville, looking for a copy of make magazine and going to pick up a friend at the airport. We shave taken a bunch of video and are listening to biz marke.

I am really late to the party but in 2007 Tod E. Kurt gave a class on the Arduino and has 4 great pdfs of lots of cool info.  I just wanted to share them all with you. http://todbot.com/blog/bionicarduino/

My laptop died late last night.  It appears to have sustained heat damage to the motherboard.   The wireless, sound and CD ROM are not detected.  The GPU also appears to be damaged, as it is not rendering correctly.  Luckily my data is still intact. This was my only computer, so this will up a slight [...]

What a short strange trip its been. I work at a small private military school with a really fun summer camp/school program. I asked the principal the other day if I could teach an Arduino class this summer, fully expecting to have to explain what it was and how I would do it, and he [...]

Looks like Massimo Banzi, one of the co-founders of the Arduino was interviewed this week on FLOSS Weekly.  A great interview, I highly recommend you jump over to the FLOSS Weekly site and give it a listen! Go download the interview at FLOSS Weekly: http://twit.tv/floss61

Continuing from the last sketch, I’ve done the same thing but in a different manner.  I still have Processing generate a square and when the mouse moves over the square it lights a LED on the Arduino, just as before.  Although this time, the only code on the Arduino is the “Standard Firmata” sketch. Processing [...]

Recently Phizone, Cynshard and I met up and did a little messing around with Arduinos. (who knew) This is some of the video that came out of that. Phizone took the etch-a-sketch and the color selector processing code and used photo resistors (light sensors) to generate the values needed. Phizones Light Sensor Experiment from droops [...]
