Beautiful day for a Hike
Amme and I went hiking today in Acadia, and what a day to go!
I thought I’d post some pet antics and two pictures of the first big snowfall in Acadia this winter.
The two ferrets are Baby and Kitty. They were both adopted from Central Aroostook Ferret Rescue, and yes, they are huge.
Riley is the dark cat and Connor is the orange one that loves to sleep in the ferrets litterboxes, wedge his large girth into all-too-small spaces, and will jump into any plastic bag he can fit his head into. Unfortunately this means he gets his head stuck in the handles quite often.
I’m being lazy and can’t decide exactly how to implement some new interface ideas for the site. Please be patient, I have a good excuse, I’ve been playing fable for the past week for at least 4 hours a day. When I’m through milking it for everything it offers, I’ll get back to work.
Anyway, heres a rare personal life update:
(More …)
Sounds like you guys have been up to a lot. Good to hear though, keep the posts coming.
I remember the electronic percentile dice I made for my Dungeons and Dragon’s campaign. It had a 555 time or a transisor-capacitor section that made several hundred pulses a second, a pair of decade counter chips to count them, a pair of seven-segment display chips, and two seven segment digital displays.
You’d turn it on, the display would blur, then when you hit the freeze button it would stop on the last two digit number. It was harder to use than a pair of icoscahedal dice but it was much cooler.
I got the circuits from the Radio Shack blue book of electronic projects. The chips were mounted on a strip of perf board and wire wrapped (which is so much easier than the old stick-and-solder method). The board was mounted on a black box with the battery and switches, components out so it looked all high-tech and electronic.
heh awesome. I havn’t decided on what I want to do as a starter project.
I have a mental image of poor Zach trying to stay afloat (sorry Zach!). He’s so graceful climbing up a rock wall. Don’t let him drown! Hey, Thomas, it’s Christmas wish list time again. Give me some ideas, including stocking stuffers. You are very hard to buy for! Luv u–Mom
Ok mum, My next post will be a list, then it’ll be accessable from more places (^_^)
Still rearranging, I wish there was a pile of pennies nearby.
hahaha. Jesse you wish you could hit me from there.
