Too bad my current camera doesn't support long time exposure above 4s.

ATmega168 SMD chips

Actually seeing these with my own eyes, seeing that I don't see much at all makes me wonder how I'll go about soldering these.

8x8 RGB Matrix board V3 - layout

I've switched to using SMD components for the ICs and put the quartz and a 2nd switch + stacking headers back on. Seeedstudio will ship me 5 white PCBs. I've used their propaganda service for open source designs. So if you want one too, you'll be able to order it there once I've confirmed it actually works ;-)

I just did this for learning KICAD

This drives an 8x8 RGB matrix with PWM using Arduino code and DIP parts. Adding stacking headers will force me to switch to SMD parts in the end. I just did this for learning KICAD

This is a state of the art Arduino system. Provides smooth robot control and self learning capabilities, even speech!

UT Tower joke

01 Jan 2001 204
The infamous main building of UT a.k.a. the tower. It's heavily air-conditioned as the rest of the buildings, thermal insulation: "Huh ? what's that ?". They don't seem to have heard about windows with multiple layers of glass, also works for keeping the heat out guys! The sliding doors stayed open quite long, so you'd feel the cold air rushing out several 10 meters away. This was back in 2001/2. Maybe they've put in some upgrades now.

Is such a label strictly legal ? how about this: "... tax back payment of unknown amount..."

San Antonio, TX

The backside of the Mexican Market (Milliam Park) in San Antonio, TX. I was there in 2002 joining a tour with the International Office of UT. The market had lots of annoying and loud 'folk music'. They even pestered you in the restaurants. If this is true Mexican culture, if feel sorry for them.

Hooverdam - Panorama

At that time the water level wasn't as low as nowadays. Lake Mead was pretty full compared to now. 'The bus driver' felt it was necessary to give us the wireless microphone and introduce ourselves to the rest of the pack of loonies.

Our bus driver would just call the Grand Canyon 'The big hole'.

When looking all the way down to the bottom, some of the green stuff looked like grass, but it wasn't. It turned out to be trees ;-)
