Some dude plays the Imperial March by varying the speed of floppy drive motors... Love the creativity

This is either Google's awesome contribution to the online April Fool's tradition or a hilarious failure. Either way I laughed pretty hard. Thanks Rob for the link.

More Arduino stuff. I was able to utilize the Parallax Ultrasonic Range Finder (radio shack $12 I think) to make LEDs illuminate based on an objects distance relative to the sensor.

Woah..

Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I now have a head ache, but it's well worth it.

Arduino PWM outputs

So I'm playing with the PWM outputs on the Arduino now. Kind of neat stuff. I'm trying to figure out why my tri-color LEDs are acting all goofy.

Arduino rocks

I'm pretty excited. This Arduino thing is pretty cool. A couple of hours and I've got a few useless but fun things working.
