my plants feed is here: http://twitter.com/botanicalls0054
looks like it updates at night and ive been unplugging it at night to sdave power... i guess you can buy a cable and fine tune the config but i p[robably will sell it at some point. the novelty wears off quick

kind of expensive and silly but it was good practice (just learning to solder). got a couple cool products coming in the mail from http://www.makershed.com/ that i'll be doing with my son.

im hoping to learn enough to do some guitar effects pedals.. kind of this stuff: http://www.buildyourownclone.com/fuzz.html

many of these kits have detailed directions so i dont really need to know what im handling.. but still., can anyone recommend some reading (website or a book) of electronics for neophytes? theres a book on electronics for musicians i should get that now that i think about it.
