Geek-O-Rama!

Well well well, look what I just got! The thing every geek really wants! A Freeduino prototyping board! You can get your very own at the Freeduino website

The Freeduino project is a project that clones the currently closed source
Arduino project. In effect opening the source by making itself completely compatible with the Arduino platform. Which is based on another open source project called Processing

I plan to use it to make a RepRap; rapid prototyping machine! Which is essentially a printer capable of printing in plastic good on three axis!

Anyone wanting to be a part of the project is more than welcome to donate some time or money! Meanwhile, you can find out more at the above links! Happy hacking!

Yet another invasion

(photo removed because...i don't want you to steal my identity)

In preparation for my trip to Brazil I had to get *another* passport because my old one was 'damaged'( its corners were dog eared ) and this is it! It is embedded with an RFID which is readable from a fairly considerable distance with the right reader. This allows any jack ass with a reader to know exactly who I am and were I came from etc. Yay, democracy. But damn it is a sexy little book!
