After a few weeks of frequent mailbox checks, today the mailman brought me my Wiring board. It’s much smaller than I thought, which is great! There are all kinds of parts that look very delicate. Maybe I should have ordered two.

My project over the holidays will be to build something with it. What? Well, that is yet to be determined. But, I stumbled upon Instant Soup, which looks like it will be a big help. From the site:

InstantSOUP is a path into electronics using an approach of “learning by making”, introducing electronic prototyping in a playful, non-technical way.

The summary of all this is that you can create robots that can be controlled by Flash! Finally all of this ActionScript I’ve learned has a purpose that my 10 year-old self would think was cool!
