Last month, I bought a new house in Austin. Thus begins a new adventure! It’s on 1.3 acres of land, with a huge pool, near a creek.
Plus, as a bonus, it’s RIGHT on the fiber internet corridor where Google Fiber will be rolled out.
Awesomesocks.

Since the last post I’ve:
* Bought a house
* Increased the size of the hackerspace to 8000 square feet
* Created a company to make ARM motherboards
* Upgraded the ArduPilot board to use an ARM processor
There’s a lot going on! Maybe I should, you know, blog about it or something.

I made some awesome gnocci the other day (Paprika/Oregano).
Last night five people joined the hackerspace.
I have over 3500 followers in Google+.

Hooboy. I just signed a $20k lease for a laser cutter at the hackerspace. This is ‘heavy’

Okay, it’s Monday and I *DO* feel better. This evening I’ll be having fun at Microcontroller Monday at the hackerspace, but for now, I’m still on a homopolar (faraday) motor kick.
This is an example of a homopolar generator. High current! It’s why flywheel homopolar generators are used to store energy from the Grid:

So, fever is gone, getting better. Not a LOT better, but better. The flu really takes it out of you.. where “it” is anything you ate, energy, and patience…
