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.

Last night five people joined the hackerspace.
I have over 3500 followers in Google+.

Amazing things are happening in my life.

Sometimes, and more than just occassionally:

Life. Is. Good.

Wanderlust! Well at least I know next week I’ll be in Las Vegas.

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…

We’re in the 21st century.  Forget flying cars.  I want a cure for the flu!
