I’ve neglected the blog a bit lately, but with good reason. We’re still working on settling into the house, and on top of that, my mom and sister came down from Pennsylvania for a visit. We ended up visiting the World of Coke in downtown Atlanta, but of course I didn’t bring the camera. My daughter enjoyed most of the time, except for meeting the wall face-first and busting her little lip open. She also warmed up to her grandma and aunt, something I was a little concerned about due to the last time they were here for a visit.

I’ve been playing handyman / builder / assembler the past two weeks as well. Last night I put together my daughter’s new bed, then the week prior I put together the entertainment center. I know, real geeky stuff. I need to seal up a couple of holes (particularly the holes drilled for the network cabling) to keep some pests out, then of course comes the big project of seeding the yard and trying to get grass going.

At some point soon, I want to dig my electronics stuff out and start messing around with it again. I have an Arduino Prototype shield I need to assemble, along with some cool little projects to try out. Eventually I want to get an ethernet shield and do something concerning network and environment, perhaps a simple temperature monitor, or I also thought about getting into building a personal weather station. My mind has all sorts of cool ideas, I just need to sort them out and figure out which ones I want to actually pursue as I learn about this stuff.
