DRIVE

truck won’t start- suspect bad ground in starter motor. atlima won’t start- totally baffled & probably giving up forever. been spending most of my free time getting to know the dog i’ve been fostering. i’m also in early stages of building a book scanner for work.

expect to ramp up productivity/hit the ground running in 2010. i’ve been invited to build something for a robotic art exhibit, so want to start work on some of the internet-enabled sculpture ideas i’ve had kicking around for a while. if i can find a job (my grant expires in february), i also really really want to take up arduino programming as a hobby. PIC seems like the far better bet for developing a new skillset longterm, but it seems like arduino can do everything i want faster and easier and for not much more money.

here is a picture of the dog.
