Well here we are in January again, as I do every January, I decide to start blogging again!

As usual, since my last post waaay back last year, lots of things have changed!
The Arduino tinkering worked out very well & I created some wacky projects, sadly nothing that will make me millions of pounds!

My latest interest is the Beagle Board I’m currently running RISC OS Open on it. Over the past year RISC OS Open has become more & more usable on the Beagle, just yesterday the audio drivers were released, so now the Beagle barks!

Jake turned 3 back in October, and has just started nursery. Although he tells me that nursery is hard!
My lovely wife is fine & dandy yet currently addicted to the Sims 3.

And me?
Surrounded by technology with a coffee in my hand!

My Arduino beginners kit finally arrived! So that’s my evenings entertainment sorted!!
If anyone out there needs some Arduino kit, or components, check out this site earthshinedesign.co.uk. They offer fantastic customer service, and rock bottom prices!

I’ll update later with some news on how the kit works out!

Just had the confirmation Email from tinker.it that my Arduino starter kit has shipped, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow! I also picked Andy up a starter kit at a rock bottom price! So now he can build his EMF meter to look for ghosts!!!

Okay, so no sign of my Arduino board, but I did upgrade to the recently released iPhone OS 3.0, so far everything is fine, and I took the opportunity to change all the music of my phone.

Also my Arduino Ethernet shield & LCD shield arrived!
If only I had something to plug them into…….
