Some interesting stuff over the last few days:
  • Started working on the GPS project again. I have all the parts/equipment on hand, now I just need to get it working! Started drawing up the enclosure, will order if from Shapeways soon.
  • Ponoko (ponoko.com) finally cut my parts for the CNC machine. Im hoping to see those by the end of next week. With my lab cleaned out and semi-organized there should be plenty of room to assembly the X & Z Axis.
  • The more I play with the arduino, the more project I come up with. That thing is amazing and I'm an amature, i wonder what professionals think of it? I'm pretty sure that I can use it to run the new CNC along with the EasyDrive v3 from sparkfun.
  • New bike parts came in for the Fisher. Handlebars, Stem, Grips. Its really turning into a nice bike. I think my next upgrade will be either disk brakes or a new crank.
  • Tons of new in the world of blackberry's. From what I'm seeing the Storm 2 will definitly be out right around the end of the year/beginning of the year. I think I'll hold out until it drops. Although I'm pretty sure that the Pre will be available then, so it will definitly be a tough call... get it? "tough call"..... anyway
That's about it for now. Bobby and I are going to ride about 10 miles in the morning to test out the new setup.
