Absent For A Bit ....

I am away for a little while working on a few or more episodes for The Adventures of My Space Alien Alter Ego story ... will return (to Earth) soon!

Notice: Blogger has screwed up and lost a bunch of photos out of my blog! They are replaced with a gray silhouette of a human head. I will eventually get them replaced with the correct photo, it may take a while to find and fix everything. So some of my stories don't make much sense without their photos, sorry for the inconvenience.

The I-Paw-d

Inventing an Apple device for my dog: i-Paw-d

Candy Caution: I noticed that the tips of Hershey's Kisses break off veRy easily when unwrapping the candy. It appears that the size is approximately 0.01 grams or less, which is a smaLL portion of the 4.6 gram candy, but it may cause tiny chocolate stains on your clothing, skin, or leave unsuspecting treats for rodentia.

I ordered a new toy today. It is an Arduino microcomputer with sensors caLLed the Sparkfun Inventors Kit. It looks like great fun and I might learn a new thing or two about programming, robotics, and electronics.

I am off to a great day in the outdoors: painting

Rob: Thanks for the video link. I had not watched any Arduino videos yet, but then watched a bunch of them. I was talking to my wife this morning about all the things I would like to try doing with the Arduino, so then I went ahead and purchased it today, should be here next week. I had tried buying locally but there was essentially not much at the store and it was confusing at first glance trying to buy in a store. They didn't have a complete beginners kit. So it should arrive neXt week.

Badger: That's my general plan, til death do we part. ActuaLLy with Blogger I think you can schedule the posts to have future delivery dates, so I could theoreticaLLy keep going for awhile longer. I painted yesterday about 4-5 hours and I'm veRy sore, so I am glad it is a little too cold to paint. So I am studying about transistors today. I stopped at the store a got a package of 15, now it's time to go to the diner for some coffee and chatting. I need to talk Shannon into serving desserts!

These are pieces that I have generated mainly using computer art tools. Enjoy !

Something New:

I am also in the process of linking my poetry blog entries together. This project is only partially finished. A "Poetry LINK" at the bottom of the blog entry points to the next older piece of poetry.
