I had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the July Arduino meeting. I think making a yearly Arduino night is a great idea. Where else do you combine hardware and software in such an interesting, low cost, and innovative way? The film was great, and I enjoyed seeing every one's projects. In fact I'll have to build Joe's temperature sensor right away. Where I work I have a window office, so I'm right by the air vents. Even in summer it is so cold where I sit I have to wear a sweater most days, and my fingers get so cold it's often hard to type. The way Joe had it set up the temperature was being sent to an editor on his computer. If I can rig that up I can then save the files to document how frigging cold it is where I sit!
Also great meeting Ed Nisley. As I told Ed I'm a big fan of his writing from way back. In fact, I just picked up a huge stack of old Dr. Dobbs so now I can put Ed's handsome, bearded fact to his writing :) Sorry I had to leave so soon - I wanted to get home early so I could watch the USA women world cup soccer team on the DVR. You might know how that turned out :) Great job on the meeting, hope to see you next month for Scala. -- Frank L.
