I hung out at Wicked ground for awhile yesterday during the day decorating my new messenger bag :) I sew really slowly (and not very well), but I'm kind of pleased with how it has turned out so far. I still want to try and figure out how to maybe work some sensors or something into it, but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details at present ( Read more... )

I started doing rock climbing awhile back. One of the guys I work with (Daniel) does a lot of rock climbing and he and Kat got me started. I stick to bouldering for the most part.

I still have to figure out in which manner I want to attach the microphone ( ( Read more... )

I got my lillypad and el-wire sequencer from sparkfun ftw :) I also got some el-wire as well :p I'm going to put some in halloween costume and some on raver pants for the win :) I've got an accelerometer and a temperature sensor as well as a mic, and I'm going to try and use the inputs from the three to control the blinking in some fashion ( Read more... )

My vacation has sadly come to an end and I'm back in Seattle working for the man. I miss Canada/Waterloo/Ottawa and the people, hopefully I can come back up again soon ( Read more... )
