Processing and Arduino in Tandem Course

I'm really looking forward to taking this course. I took another online class from O'Reilly through CreativeLive and was very pleased with it.

It's a free course that promises to be very good, so if you're interested, go to http://creativelive.com/courses/arduino/

Cutting it close today! Here's something I've been working on/reading. I'm trying to learn electronics and also get back into programming. So far the books have been absolutely fantastic. I'm going to be writing a review of Make: Electronics soon so stay tuned for that!

I took a couple of pictures that I thought should go up today.

I thought this was a good one of Beatrice.

Black Kitty got in my lap and had to have a picture taken.

Today we dropped off our car and picked up the rental. We got an Altima, so not bad! We won't be driving it much anyway. I dislike driving rental cars anyway, too many people have been driving and abusing them.

And, while we were eating lunch I got my review copy of Make: Electronics! I'm so excited! I've been playing with my Arduino and that's teaching me quite a bit but this book should give me a good understanding of electronics by keeping it in terms that make sense to me and also encouraging me to break things because really failure is a good teacher.
